#rc #airplane #p51
Absolute clinic Brian! The flying in conjunction with the information flow is awesome! Camera crew is second to none..
Thank you!!! Glad you're here with us RC FlyGuy!
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Don't worry about taking longer time to cover all the little details or repeat certain procedures when putting together an RC plane. The devil is in the details! Thank you and keep it up.
Totally agree!!! I figure if you want to hear our take on it, good, and if you don't want too...that's why God made fast forward - LOL ;)
The P-51 1.2m combined with the NX8 and Smart packs, is the perfect perfect thing! I love this airplane, I have one already but I’m gonna buy a ton more because it’s just an amazing bird! Thank you Brian for the awesome review, you rock!
Couldn't agree more! These are great lipos, and what a great plane and transmitter too!!!
The P51d especially in that color config is such a beautiful plane, those low speed passes kill me
This P-51 is a great plane!!!
Brian on your throttle on your radio to get 100% take the caps off and slide the switches to the right then you’ll get 100% up and down. 😉
REALLY?!!??! I will have to try this out! Thanks William! You can also Re-calibrate the sticks ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC You’re right I just learned that the other day, now everything zeros out better thanks for your help Brian.
Thanks to you my wife just bought me one of them cases for my birthday through your link with the other insert so now I can put my old DX radio it with my new NX radio.😳=🎂😇
Awesome! It's way nice!!! Good for you William & Happy Birthday
If your old case will fit my NX8, I would like to buy it!!!!!
You guys have the most beautiful skys!
Thanks Josh! We have some absolutely gorgeous sunsets around here, and sunrises are also amazing.
Side-note, when we built this house, I put two windows in the master bath, and now when I'm in the shower, getting ready, I can watch the sun rise - so cool! Also I can get an idea of the wind conditions while I'm getting ready. This was a happy accident in the construction of our home here.
@@BrianPhillipsRC You gotta love those Bob Ross happy little accidents in life!
AWESOME video Brian Love the P51 one of my favorite war birds. Thanks again for all your hard work.... just love it man . : }
You're welcome, and THANK YOU for being here with us! we wouldn't have the channel without an audience ;)
Love the new experience with the second hole.....😳 WoW camera crew👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Right?!
You don’t have to use wifi if you want to use one of the bnf templates. When creating a new model, select the icon “BNF” and it gives you a list of models. This list is embedded/loaded with the firmware. Your could show people the list (find the model in the list to show it is there) and then back out and do the manual setup. I still think this is the p51 to get. 😀
Cool, I've never done it before. I'll try it out. Thanks!
Just ordered thru your link hope it worked for you. Saw one of these flying today the size seems about right for throwing in my back seat area without taking off the wings. I have always liked Mustangs and back in the day, I had a GP 40 size mustang with a YS45 a really hot motor that that made the plane a bomb
You will love this plane. It is a good-ole-standby...every RC enthusiast needs one to pull out and fly from time to time. This P-51 is still one of my favorites to fly, and we have had a LOT...in fact, we've reviewed this plane 3 separate times, and earlier revisions too would put us up to 4 times ;) I love it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Now I will have 3 solid planes that I can toss in the back seat area of my car without taking apart. The Mustang, the 1.3 Valiant, & the 1.2 T 28.
Brian you don't stop, the best youtube reviews, the most complete and professional, congratulations.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm very into doing this, and so long as I can keep my camera crew with me, we're good to go ;)
“Beautify the tips”
This you getting back into Rc after long hiatus. I have old Channel 52 htz Futaba. Long video appreciated
Yep, you'll have a steep learning curve, but you can do it. I was looking all over for the crystals when I got back into it, and I couldn't figure out that you have to "BIND" the transmitter and receiver together. It's so much better, SOOOOOOOO much cheaper for so much more technology that ACTUALLY works ;)
We can help you along.
really like the p 51 it's a beautiful plane ! let me tell you something Brian ! you are the best on RUclips !✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈💙
Wow, thanks! We appreciate your kind words!!!
@12:45 "Going into the second hole", "sounds like fun"? 🤣😱🤣
A lot can happen in 30 seconds
Yep ;)
Buying this with a Spectrum NX 6 tomorrow from my local shop for $350 total! Will be posting video soon!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Get the NX8 or NX10 - you will soon regret the NX6 decision
Pretty please, don't do it. I don't want to have to tell you I told you so.
NX6 is AMAZING, and WILL work for this plane, but you will outgrow it in like 3 planes...
NOW, if it's super cheap, go for it..."backup" for your NX8 and NX10 that you buy from our links ;)
Tx bit.ly/3f4JhZl
@@BrianPhillipsRC well it's $200 for the plane, used, but immaculate condition. Then $150 for the NX6, used but great shape. I'm already over budget, lol, but the bug has gotten a hold of me. 🤣
Is that worth it in your opinion?
This will be my first transmitter.
Thanks
You're welcome ;) Hope the NX8 comparisons help some...there's not a ton of side by side's out there, but with such a small price difference, I kinda think the NX8 is the way to go ;) The P-51 is just an EXCELLENT plane
Yeah, agree for $40.00 ,ore get the NX8 over the NX6.
yes...seems a bit of a no brainer, but it' is over 10% more???
I'm very excited to hear your review of Draco, I mean Rako...lol
It looks incredible.
I know, I LOVE YARDWORK!!!
Stock reply for you!!!!!!!!!! ;)
We have the Draco now, BUT we aren't allowed to review yet. This is not our choice. We will ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT ASAP! Please understand, our hands are tied...We can't even publish photos :(....

Thank you too!
Hi Brain, I started getting RC planes by watching you. I know you have done the Eflite Corsair, would you ever do a redo on it again?
I would do it again. We could do a second thoughts on it any time we have a second.
I love that plane
Me too ;)
Is Camera Crew AKA your Wife wearing a Mic to? You guys are hilarious together! She really is on the Ball. If she is using a mic turn her up in the Mix, if your software has that option. Love the vids. Brian have you ever built the FMS P47 Razorback Bonnie PNP 1500mm?
Over the years, she started wearing a mic too, and previously to that she was by the mic pickup on the phone...but NOW we pretty much always both mic up.
Brian, you’ve had the NX8 for a while now so perhaps you’ve already started to set up Flight Modes, but if not, give it a try. That little control stick trick you do to set up your SAFE/A3X switch is unnecessary.
Ooops, I was wrong here. You do need to do that because the receiver that comes with the P51 does not allow you to set up Flight Modes that activate Safe/Level etc. Now that I have mine that came as a surprise. Another surprise was that the ESC is not Smart compatible, so no in flight battery telemetry. I’ve gotten spoiled with my other models, having those features. It’s a bit of extra expense but I’ll probably replace the ESC with an Avian ESC, and the receiver with a 637T. After I do that the following comments will be useful, but for the stock B&F model they do not apply.
If you use Flight Mode, you can assign one to each of three switch positions (a reason to use a different switch) and have one for SAFE level and limits, middle for limits only, and the third position for no limits, full aerobatic. The other advantage of setting up Flight Modes is that is how you access the PANIC feature, which I assign to the bind button. Set Panic to go immediately to Flight Mode 1 (SAFE), and then enable Panic on Flight Modes 2 and 3. Its a nifty feature that allows you to do and emergency rescue when in a screaming stall/spin. A guy who flys as well as you might not need it, but I do, and others might as well.
I’ve started purchasing new receivers for al my plans and refitting them, some got new Avian ESCs as well. The availability of SAFE, Panic, Limits and the nice timing and mixing on the NX8 have transformed flying RC for me. I have to thank you for getting me headed down this road. It was your videos that opened my eyes.
I'm so glad I could bring some help, but looks like you're off to the races now!!!
These new Rx'es are amazing! It's incredible how much better the planes fly with stabilization!!!
Anyone want to start a pool on how long until he's got an NX10 too? :) I'm guessing before the end of the year. Also, how much longer than your long videos is their upload time?
I'll help you with your pool...I was told "NO"...but I would not be upset if they twisted my arm with an ix20 ;)
Let that muddy your waters - LOL!!!!!
Can’t wait till batteries get better and get 20-30 minute blaster flights
I got 20ish Minutes on my Draco ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC that plane was designed to perfection zero wasted energy. I’m sure you sold a ton of these with this wonderful display.
I’m new to flying but you make me want to pull the trigger on this one. 👍
and to think a few decades ago we were still using messy fuel motors that were noisy, dangerous and just plain ruined the fuselage. These electric planes are really just amazing. If they ever get real full size electric planes to fly like this we would have a whole nuther industry to deal with.
Totally - technology is advancing so fast right now!!! Very cool time to be alive ;)
I can respect you like the spektrum radios, Brian. I started with them. I can say this, the price point on these radios, chargers and batteries (spektrum) is getting out of control. I went out a few months ago and spent $149 bucks on the radio master TX16s. I can bind to almost ANY BRAND receiver (as I am sure you know). The open TX platform was very easy to use. Best of all, I can buy RM168 receivers for 10 bucks WITH voltage telemetry with dual antennas that wont break off, they unplug!!!...16ch, telemetry, programmable gear delays, programmable flap delays, the list goes on and on. Capabilities are endless.After using this Radio master 16s I could Never justify going back to a spektrum radio..But like I said I can respect that people like these radios.
I haven't tried the Radiomaster yet, but I think we have one on the way. If the OpenTX is as clunky as the Jumper T8SG, I will probably have the same feelings, but I'm hearing very good things.
That being said, for a beginner, Spektrum has been wonderful.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I only have 1 complaint on my radio master tx16s.The sliders on either side(which I dont use anyways) are very sloppy. They move way to easy. But They are easy enough to change out. As usual great videos Brian the wife and I enjoy watching!..
1.5 and umx with nx8 turbo timber
yes, yes, yes, ALL of them. I have like 80+ planes in my DX18 Gen1. I have another 18 in the NX6, and now like 20ish in the NX8 ;)
Is it possible for you to do a class on trimming on the NX8?
nice plane brian. i wanted to buy the mustang too but i decided on the air tractor. :)
I think the P-51 is on sale right now??? Maybe BOTH???
@@BrianPhillipsRC the p51 (1.2m) is unfortunately sold out in germany. The new p51 is still too expensive for me.
What were your actual duo rates and expo after all, did you adjust anything after the flight? I noticed on other footage you’ve been sticking with the rate 90 and expo 30 etc. did you do eventually do the same for this plane?
I do the same general setup, and don't believe I changed for this one...
All three axis of control
------- Switch F ------
Position ---- Expo --- Rate ----
0 --- 5% --- 100%
1 --- 10% --- 100%
2 --- 20% --- 90%
@@BrianPhillipsRC “ I see said the blind man 🤙🏽 “ thank you very much I really appreciate you and your teams time.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Its me again would the D/R and Expos provided from you be ok for a beginner pilot, I’m currently working my way up to the warbirds now, I will be assembling the P-51 Mustang, T-28 Trojan and the P-47 Razorback all 1.2m. and just double checking?
Would like to see when you maiden a aircraft if you would say whether or not it has bad habits like stalling or tip stalling
We mention this sort of thing if we find it to be a prevailing factor, but this plane is amazing!
I have one actually seems like the ailerons are really touchy like you said maybe I'm trying to fly it too SLOW . I'm new to the flaps that may also help when landing it.
Ive always used Futaba when I was flying, simply bc they were prob the only thing out there at the time. Are they even a thing now? Seeing how youve prob used everything out there, do you have a video showing the differences in radios, i.e. the DX_e models, the DX models, and the ITX models? Are the DX 18, 9 and such even worth looking at on the used market if youre just getting back into the hobby? I simply love your videos, not only showing the many planes, but also the radio setup. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have used quite a few protocols. YES, Futaba is still a thing, but not my "go-to", as it was many years ago when I was into RC as a kid.
As for the differences, if you're talking AIR Transmitters, NX10 or NX8 will be amazing for most people, but if you have the money, IX14 or IX20 would be your thing!!!
Tx bit.ly/3J05xSj
I'm totally new to flaps Brian. Could you confirm with me the more aggressive angled flaps are take off flaps and the middle setting is landing flaps? Do you use both positions or are you only using the most aggressive position? So their main purpose is to create more lift so you can come in slower to land?
The more deflection is for Landing. The LESS deflection is Takeoff.
Flaps change the shape of the wing, and reduce stall speed. They also induce more drag, so they can help slow the plane down, while not dropping into a stall. Additionally, they make it easier to point at the runway (fly down hill) and not pick up speed. This helps for full scale planes, so the pilots can SEE better.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you Brian much appreciated for the detailed response 👍🏾
I noticed the G2 batteries have a faster charging time. That's worth the extra few buck to me!
I don't disagree that they can possibly balance themselves and DISCHARGE faster, but I haven't really seen a difference in charging times, since I charge at whatever rate I set on the first time I setup the SMART pack. What I find is that when flying, and if you REALLY push the limits, they will sag less bad when ONE cell seems to crap out earlier than the other 3,4, or 5 cells, thus you get a slightly longer flight time.
Also, I LOVE that I can just plug them in and not worry about settings...such a first world problem, but it's a THING in my life ;)
I really want this plane
It's good. Get one!!!

Greetings from the UK!...
Beautiful plane... Can your NX8 link to the Spektrum dongle to use the laptop trainer software? Cheers!
YES, for sure...we even used the "Batman" controller from one of our night vapors, so my smallest boy could try his had at flying.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you! 👍🏻
nice vid ! what happend with the 1.5m p51??
It's in the basement with all the rest of them, being beautiful ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC excelente!! Some day you have to show your planes collection Bro !! Should be amaizing!! Bye
The camera crew's evil laughter, evil thoughts there?
LOL maybe a little ;)
This is another great plane that desperately needed low bounce wheels to help with the landings. I enjoyed flying this thing even considering getting another one for fpv.
Should you decide to get low bounce wheels, get ready for the dreaded C clip.. absolutely hate those things.
This plane can be greased in okay though, in my experience.
Brian just purchased and maiden my P51. Have a quick question. When binding the plane the manual tells you to do it while sitting on the mains and tail wheel. I noticed you did it while sitting level on the stand. Which way is correct?
I’m asking because during my maiden the plane wanted to climb at any throttle response above 35%. I had to put almost full down trim to make it stop climbing. I’m not sure if this was a result of rebinding it sitting on the tail wheel or not. I rechecked the elevator to make sure it was level and it was. Just to clarify I did set the elevator trim back to center when I checked the elevator.
By the way love your videos and I’m one that watches them even when they are 3 hours long. Thanks for what you do for the hobby. My wife may not agree! I’ve become obsessed.
Just got back into it after loosing interest when I was a teenager. Already up to 7 planes and only been back at it for 8 months.
Humm....didn't realize the manual called for on the wheels - how exactly are you supposed to do that BEFORE you can open the gear?!?!? LOL
As for the "proper" way, give it a try BOTH ways and see what happens "my way" (in the plane stand OR propping up the tail wheel to make it like it's flying) then check out how the elevator responds with SAFE on.
Thanks for the question, but you'll learn a lot trying this, so hope you don't take offense to me asking you to try it ;) I know you're gonna get more out of this exercise , then my just answering it....plus it'll only take about 5 minutes - Good luck!
1 month old and plane discontinued?? What's alternative for beginners
No...the NEW Replacement Rx is the reason you see this. When you click on the right link it is NOT discontinued...they just updated the part number so it would reflect the change to the AR631, from the AR636B.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Found it thank you for the great videos. I have subbed to your channel. You have so much great info. I think following you will help me get back into flying without too much trouble. BTW I have and old Ok Model EZ Zero. I started building back in 2009. It's a very rare plane, it's balsa, to foam covering, then a printed covering with unreal detail and weathering over the foam and finally covered in a clear Mylar. Talk about pucker factor. They are evidently collector's items now. I will finally finish it. I purchased it before Ok Models burn down in Japan. With today's technology, Safe, and Gyro receivers, I think I'll be brave enough to finish it and fly it next year.
The Foam cut in my Spectrum Transmitter Box is cut on the Horizontal Side. The Vertical Cut is way much better. :>)
I see! That seems to be why it looks so jagged....but whatever gets the job done. I guess they figure you won't see it before you order it - LOL, guess I ruined that part of the plan - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC ..I much rather have had what you have, that's the Vertical Cut for the Transmitter which allows for more room in the box. I could order the newer vertical cut foam insert.
Please tell me what type of screw it it
I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer you
Hello Brian, THX Your Videos are the Best !! I Bought the new NX8 and a HABU STS and F15 from Eflite. :-) One Question about your Model setup ,..why do you don´t use the ready to go preset-installed Models from Spektrum engineers in the BNF File on the Radio ? in Menue Select Model ...? I found my f15 Eagle and selcted ist afterwards bind also in the Menue under forward Programming and fly :-) :-) so easy and cool ..
Because I want to teach people to use this very powerful tool. If you just download the setups, you'll probably never learn how to do it for any future PNF planes.
Nice
Thanks
Hello Ryan and camera crew, I have a quick question I like the June Nite and the focke wulf 190A. What would be the better choice as flight envelope. They both look like great planes, the focke is almost double the price. But what plane do you think would be the better purchase. June nite or save a little longer and get the focke
This is Brian, as in BrianPhillipsRC...
The June Nite (1.2m) is in a different size class than the FW190...which is 1.5m...which means basically it's about half the size...I know that sounds crazy...it's only like 300mm different...well, yeah, but it's basically double the size ;)
As for the P-51D 1.5m vs the FW-190 1.5m - go for the FW - flies better, more cool details, and I like it a lot better for landings.
As for the 1.2m P-51D June Nite - it is awesome, and you'll never regret getting this plane, if you're ready for a war bird...I assume you're flying out of SAFE, and pretty competent as an RC pilot??? If so, get the 1.2m June Nite and LOVE it for a while, then consider the FW, which is really nice too. It flies more than a little better than the 1.5m P-51D...which is a bummer, in my opinion, but it is what it is - I don't get to pick which one is better, but I can say with certainty...it is better. The P-51D is WAY faster, but the P-51D 1.5m is really squirrelly on landings too ;(

Brian, I want you to know how much I admire you and I have an example for me, I don't miss a video of you, I'm very happy that you share your videos with us, I really like your presentation, explanation, dedication, knowledge, your equipment I also have and I am a fan of Spektrum I have a Dx 7 and all my Dsm2 receivers very high quality equipment, thank you Brian, God always bless you and protect you and give you great health, a big hug.
Thank you so much for the encouraging and kind words DANILO! We're blessed to have you with us here in this experience!!!
Excuse me if I’m incorrect, but didn’t you already review a p-51 1.2m, or did e-flite release a new one? Just curious.
Edit: Also, are those tires rubber or foam? They look super high quality
Yes, he did review the June Nite a few months back, however this one has the new AR631 receiver...and it's just a sweet model!! :)
Yes, and I thought I had mentioned it in the video ;) I really like this plane, and have done it three times, technically...once with Esteban's plane, and twice with two of them mine as well....then once back when it was a "Blonde" 1.2 - GREAT plane too!
The 1.5m P-51 Mustang was a whole different animal!
That is hilarious!! I was actually sitting here talking to the screen..."Don't forget the spar Brian, don't forget the spar....don't put those screws in, don't put those screws in.....you put the screws in"!! LOL!! ;) Another great video, even with the shameless use of adorable kittens to draw viewers in. Ha ha!!
LOL - We're so glad you could be yelling at the screen in our honor - Next time, yell louder so we can hear it - LOL ;)
Took the night timber x to the field today (4/2). Crazy windy over here in cedar. Still drained 4 batts. Came home to umx a-10 on the doorstep. 😀
AWESOME!!! Such a happy surprise ;)
I have been recently racing the sky angel rare bare and am looking for a first 6s plane what would you recommend.
We review so many planes that are 6S. This might be a good one to just scroll through and than ask specifics about the plane in question.
Super cool warbird, absolutely my favorite!!! We've come a long way from the day's of flying the A330-600 in the paved parking lot struggling with crosswinds, avoiding light poles and trying not to hit concrete curbs during the landings. 🍻🍻🍻 Oh those were days🤣🤣🤣
I agree we've come a long way, but I loved those days!!!
Nice 👍🏾.. I love that plane it’s what I started back flying with amazing plane.. I fly on 4s 3200 with no Esc upgrade .. Nothing heats up😁
Nice 👍 This plane is great!
Stumbled on your videos. Love the honest and sincere reviews. Now need you to do a review on the HSD F-16. Mostly cause I just got it and want to see your opinion! Lol
I haven't started working with HSD, but if they wanted me to review their stuff, We'd definitely be game. Give me a plug when you talk to them, and see if they want to have us review something ;)
Little does he know Zane was in the background filming this video and sent me a clip before the vid came out🤣🤣🤣
That little cheater!!! LOL
Brian wondering if you help me out? Just set Safe on this plane on my NX6, channel B. I always have Safe on position 0 and AS3X only is on 1 and also 2. With every plane I've set up, Safe always has limited movements and AS3X gives max throws. However on the P51 Safe has huge throws. Position 1 AS3X has LIMITED ELEVATOR but max throws on rudder and ailerons and position 2 AS3X has LIMITED RUDDER but max throws on elevator and ailerons. AS3X only on B postion 1 and 2 have never been different on all my planes and this is my prefered easy access "panic" switch. Safe and AS3X can confirm works. Can you shed any light on why I've got different range of movements in my AS3X modes? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Setup the plane the way I set it up and then see if you have issues. Go through the RADIO SETUP part of this video, and you can follow step by step. You will be fine with the NX6 (it will give you the 7th channel you need).
Get this working, then see if you have the same question.
When is the draco video coming? ;)
We have the Draco now, BUT we aren't allowed to review yet. This is not our choice. We will ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT ASAP! Please understand, our hands are tied...We can't even publish photos :(....
All I can say, is if you decide to buy anything from us in the mean time, just follow the "Master Link"...and you can navigate to whatever you decide you can't live without, or any of the other links below too.

keys like that on the case are to keep HONEST PEOPLE HONEST. A screw driver could pop that lock in a heart beat .....don't get me wrong Brian i do appreciate the long explanations they are most helpful but i DO get a kick out of your distractions when it comes to details....reminds me of my dog all i have to do to distract her is yell SQUIRREL and she goes off when you do it i yell squirrel and pee myself laughing. You and Megan are doing a fantastic job informing and educating us all and i sooooo appreciate it since i now have an NX8.... best rc channel on utube by far keep up the excellent work..... i now have 6 planes due to your excellent teachings.... bravo god bless and pray for spring im in ontario canada
Thanks Ray! We appreciate you being here with us all the time too!!!
Against the DX radios this new ones are JUNK ! When something works why you got to change it ??
I order the the 10 channels and had issue right out the box , send it back an order the ix-20 .. SAME STORY , ISSUE OUT THE BOX .
Both was send it back . Very disappointed Spektrum
I'm super bummed to hear you're having issues - What was wrong? I've had only a couple very minor glitches here and there...and we've been using the heck out of both the NX6 and NX8.
What is the link to the bigger battery that you use in your NX8? I can not find the battery.
Ohh....the 6000mAh!!! Here's it is...
Bigger Tx Pack - 6000mAh 3.7V - bit.ly/3bZ0nHW
I finally broke down and bought an NX8. Got it today and im about to transfer all of my models from my dx6e. Got the orange grips because I liked the looks but I cant bring myself to rip the grips off my brand new nx8. Maybe later I guess. Lol. Probably getting this plane soon also. And a bigger heli. And some g2s... 😂
Awesome! So glad you took the plunge!
Hello à vous ::: c le top cet Avion une bombe !!!!! Stéph de France
Hi there!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hello !
Bro I gotta ask... What the hell is a Cornhole??? 🤔🤣🤣
Is that just an outside snap at the top of a vertical upline or something more like a lomcevak?
Pretty much, it's a made-up "slop" maneuver. I'm pretty sure it's already "something" + "something else" but we like the terminology, and people seem to get a kick out of it, so we just kinda keep doing it ;) LOL
Hey Brian,
Considering a mustang would you recommend the 1.5 or the 1.2? Which did you find more fun to fly?
1.2m for sure. 1.5m is harder to fly and land BY A MILE.
P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI
@BianPhillipsRC! After so many years of marriage, you guys are flirting with each other. 🙂
Yep, Megan is not just the "camera crew", she's the love of my life! I'm blessed to have her supporting me, and you bet we still enjoy each other's company from time to time ;)
good night Brian without a doubt is the most beautiful war plane of all thanks Brian
This P-51 is excellent! Great rendition from Horizon Hobby, and she flies so well!!!
I got mine a few weeks ago and just waiting on the right occasion to fly. You make it look really good and as always a very enjoyable video.
Awesome! Great plane, and so glad you're enjoying the videos!
I really hope the Rakeo review does not include its abilities, or lack of, the grooming of the Eagle(F15) killing zone.
Note: Have enough for the 20 but now saving for the "extended stay" accommodations! LMAO
LOL - I've been trying to get Esteban's dog house done for him, when he gets the Draco ;) (Esteban is my good friend and only Latin cameo on the channel so far :)
When you say show us the full flight envelope when on the first turn what do you mean Bri? U mean flying slow and fast and everything inbetween? 😊 👍
Can we see the Mrs flying a few? 😊
That's right...showing the speed and controllability of flight at slow and very fast speeds...at least that's the way I would define flight envelope.
Megan doesn't fly. She claims "she can't"...but she says that about a lot of things, and she CAN...
Which video of yours did you use a paper clip to prevent the canopy from coming loose?
P-39 1.2m - you made me think!!!
Thanks for your instructions 2 yrs ago ---- Now I cant stop buying planes
Awesome!!! ;)
Thanks for the great video. You could have flown escort with the P51 while i was flying my UMX Radian the other day, a pack of crows were chasing me. Almost got me too. Too late on Nx8 review, i just got a RadioMaster TX16s.
LOL - almost got you!!!
a NX8 should be next big purchase before I buy another plane.
Good call!
I just came back from 2 successful flights including my maiden. Both using 3S, one flight was 5 min and the other 6. I felt that the 3S was underpowered for this plane so my next flight will be on 4S.
Congrats! 4S will make her scream!
I hope every one of you, buy stuff from his links and tell everyone about his, and camera crews chanel. So them be the biggest rc chanel. Keep up your super work, love also the building part and all advices.
Thank you so much Martin!!! We really appreciate your kind words ;)
My NX6, after the last wifi update, died. It only flashes when powering up. I've emailed, called, (on hold for + 1 hour, hung up) every day. Can NOT get an answer either way. It's hard to support a manufacturer that don't/won't answer to return a product if their making. All I need is a RO number. (Reason I asked you about the open tx transmitters).
Great video as always my friend! 👍
Why not call, and request a call back. I HATE to hear you're having issues...
Call and request a call back; Do it today. If they don't get it fixed, let me know. They need to fix this like yesterday...but don't expect quick reply from email ANYWHERE NOW...it's log jammed EVERYWHERE :(
@@BrianPhillipsRC
Will do this afternoon! While I'm charging my packs to fly tomorrow afternoon! 👍
Just called back! Sending it back tomorrow morning!
Thank YOU sir! U r a gentleman and a scholar! 👍👋👋👋
Those videos are the absolute guides.
Not only to decide for a purchase, but when I assemble a new plane I watch it before to be sure that I didn’t miss something. More than often you are more complete than the manual. And your tweaks are a must.
After all this, after flying the plane for some time, I come back to see the type of maneuvers you do and try to mimic.
Thanks a lot !
Glad you like them! Thanks Michel!
Thanks again for flying Our Best Patriot WarBird Plane .Yyou two have a Great Happy Easter weekend. Brian take Care of the Best Camera Lady
Thanks, you too! Happy Easter to you, but sorry it's so late!
Great review! Would you pick this plane over a e-flite Viper 70mm as a first plane or the other way around. I guess I wanna know which one is more easy to handle and land? I can fly almost anything in a simulator but need to buy a real plane now:).
I have only 1 plane but if you want to start big, the Carbon Cub S2 1.3m is good, it has amazing grass landing, but the best is the Aeroscout 1.1m, it has a prop in back so if you crash it won’t break, it’s a tricycle so it’s easier to land and won’t flip forward on landing, both the E-flite Viper and P-51 are good but the Aeroscout and Carbon Cub are best starting
I crashed my Carbon Cub and fixed it, just a tip: expect to crash, laugh it off, and then fix it. Don’t get discouraged if you do, you will inevitably crash, it’s part of the hobby.
@@gannonelkins5134 Thanks for your reply. So you don´t think it´s a good idea to get either the Viper or P-51 as a first plane? I can fly almost any plane in RF10 flightsimulator without crashing. Don´t know if that makes a difference. I just like the looks of the viper and p-51 over those you suggested.
@@manstuff6073 Im not to sure, if you can fly on the simulator you probably could fly the P-51 or Viper so it’s pretty much your choice really, whatever you chose, good luck!!!
Neither. You will be a one and done if you pick either.
Here's a list of great choices as "Beginner" planes...but even still, they're a BLAST to fly, and you'll be in the hobby for more than a fraction of a plane - seriously, I know you want this and the viper, and you'll be flying them with skills in no time, but take my advice, please, you'll thank me later ;)

Oh yeah, RF9.5 or older will make a good simulation, but it's NOT real life...REAL FEAR plays a huge part in your success or failure, and it's HARD to replicate. You, if you're normal, will be shaking on your first few flights...not an exaggeration. You will need to learn to control your nerves. It's exhilarating when you first "get it" - but you'll have to take my word for it for now.
18:20 ohhh I just got it... Raco "d"
:) LOL!
I bought 3 planes after your reviews and thank u for what u do and Thx for your response. On your video at 1.56.37secs. You talk about trimming. Can u do a video on trimming on this plane? I take off and my P51 loses steering before i take off such as going to left or right. also, I think it's also all over the place in air. I would like to know more on trimming.
The reason you're struggling to trim is you're thinking of trimming on the ground vs in the air. They are two different beasts...especially with he P-Factor of a warbird.
Get it flying, then trim it out. If you have a bad behavior on landing, then make the mechanical trim on the tail wheel, but on TAKEOFF, you're probably experiencing the pull and torque from the power of the prop trying to "SPIN" the plane into the wrong position, and this is a common occurrence with warbirds. You will have to spend many many takeoffs to get this under control, if you're new. It's hard, but when you get it, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment.
@@BrianPhillipsRC it makes sense. Thank you.
That Mig is awesome! They should bring that one back.
I'm not familiar with that plane?
I’m sorry Brian I think I replied to the wrong person.
Have ever had to take out a warp in a foam stabilizer?
I have had a few, but never actually taken the warp out. It's supposed to be easy, and I've fixed foam before, but not to straighten a stab.
I noticed you don't use your taildragger wheel to steer on your takeoffs. But you fly with rudder. Interesting. Beautiful plane. I just threw a bigger scale one in the trash that never flew. I built it with my son but it's nitro. And nowhere around where we moved in O.C. CA, allows gas powered engines. So I took everything out and saved the electronics. It took me a while to get the landing retracts perfect too. So it was a sad day totop. But seeing this video pop up today made me 😊 happy. Plus the more fun in the second hole comment was great too 😀😃🙂
Why'd you throw it away?!??!?! I bet it was an awesome plane!
Glad we could brighten your day with talk of the 2nd hole ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was a gasser. Had to drive 2 hours to be able to fly it. It wasn't quite finished yet though. Sitting in the garage making me sad.
Hey I just got this plane love it and followed along on your set up, I’m caught up on the safe sect setup. I’m using a dx8e and all the programming was much the same to your nx8 but however when I set aux2 to safe select toggle for on/off it doesn’t seem to turn the gyroscopic features off. I know it’s connected as it runs through the power up twice when plugging in the battery just can’t get it to switch from safe to only as3x then to nothing. I would greatly appreciate any help!
You NOW have to go into FORWARD PROGRAMMING to turn it on.
@@BrianPhillipsRC by forward programming do you mean designating it to the D toggle as you had done in the video, because if so I have that set up and it changes ax2 in the monitor menu when I flip through the toggle. However it still (when flipped over) wants to correct to level in all three toggle positions. If that’s not what you mean by forward programming I would love to hear more about it as I’m newer into these more advanced planes, thanks again!
i spotted DRACO :)
At what time?
@@randylinn502 22:59 listen to what he´s saying and look at the box in the door behind him at says draco on it :) and the fact he keeps his smile until he shows the box of the plane ;) Cameracrew jiggles too :)

@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you for the best content related to this hobby!
Be interesting if you could store screen shots of the data on the transmitter so if you cannot look down, you could reference later
That would be cool, if you could keep a chronological time, recording....like a black box for telemetry!!! That would be COOL
Hey Brian, just received my nx8 and when I try updating the firmware from 3.03 to the newest 3.06 it just goes to the spectrum screen with the status bar then it just flashes off and on while the status bar never moves?
I had mine do some strange stuff, but I assumed it was a poor connection to the internet.
Might want to call up Horizon Hobby tech support on this one. If it's working, you'll be fine to use without the Latest and Greatest. Then when you update, everything should come over just fine.
@@BrianPhillipsRC just wanted to let you know I figured it out after I finally visited spectrum website. I needed to update to 3.05 before I could do 3.06 per their instructions. I did just that and the newest 3.06 updated with no issues. I appreciate your getting back and maybe this could help others if they come across it. Still loving the channel FYI
Really bad form to bind at the field IMHO but I have experienced a self -incurred prop injury due to bad throttle cut - cut into my arm and severed two tendons and a major nerve and took me out the hobby for 6 months - I watched a lot of your channel during my recovery so that was a positive at least
OUUUUUCH!
6-months?!??!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why should I dispose of my battery after a crash?
If the lipo is damaged, it might be a good idea, but make sure you're careful. You don't want to have it catch your garbage on fire, or the garbage truck on fire (Seriously....this is a thing).
The idea is to discharge the cells to nothing, if you can, then I usually run a nail through the cells, with all sorts of PPE on to protect my face, eyes, and hands...or I shoot them.
P-51D model Mustangs have always been my favorite of all airplanes. I wished i had an R/C Mustang. . . . . .Someday. I have my little Hobby Zone Sport Cub S2 trainer!
You CAN do it. If you want too, you're probably 6 month to 1 year away from doing it from ZERO experience, if you're highly motivated, and put in the time. To be clear, I'M NOT EXAGGERATING... This was my 3rd or 4th plane was the 1.2m P-51 BLONDIE (this one with a different paint job, and NO SAFE). AND I was landing it in my street in front of my house. Seriously, you CAN do it.
Step 1) Sport Cub S2 UMX bit.ly/3cDYUW1 - ruclips.net/p/PLXTH0DstRDc5gY8qX_x8kAJq3glGMXjDy
Step 2) Real Flight 9.5 bit.ly/3q5rSUF - I suggest this since you can fly EVERY DAY...even when weather sucks, but I suggest it second, so you can have a REAL plane to motivate you. Simulators are great, but you'll need to be MOTIVATED to keep doing it.

If you don't cut corners, and you fly the wings off the Sport Cub S UMX and AeroScout - there is NO reason why you can't be flying that P-51 in SAFE in less than one year. I'm not BS'ing you.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thankya for being so positive! Ive studied all thru junior high & high school on airplane & helicopter flight, aerodynamics, & flight controls. I was an airplane mechanic/maintanence/jet engine mechanic during my time in the U.S. Navy, Naval Aviation! Working on & being around the real birds every single day was an awesome experiance to say the least! Ive had 3 nice, R/C choppers in past years & was so-so at flyijg them. Much harder than flying an aR/C plane for dang sure! Ive always wanted to try "fix wing" & the friday of Labor Day weekend 2 weeks ago, i was watching R/C Saylors on youtube. They were introducing the Sport Cub S2 & talked bout how easy this plane was to try & fly even for 1st time flyers. After watching their video on this bird, i was hooked, & i wanted that lil plane so bad i could taste it! Next day on saturday i was at Hobby Hut model hobby store in G.J., Colorado & i found the Sport Cub S2. . . . that bird was immediately mine, lol lol lol! brought it home & ive been playing with it off n on this past week, learning, & having fun. Oh yes. . . . its had its share of minor crashes but its still kept on flying even after thourough inspections. . . . .until yesterday morning when a paniced nose dive in the grass field behind my house here broke the plastic propeller. . . . . .so now im grounded until my order of 3 extra props & 3 extra batteries from Horizon Hobbies comes to my doorsteps! Ive been trying to find "carbon fiber" made 130x70 props for the Sport Cub S2. . . .no such luck as of yet. Do you yourself know of any i could find somewhere or at least some stronger more durable made props of that size??? Like i said earlier, ive been having alot of fun at learning to teach my self how to fly my lil bird & theres really nothing hard about any of it for me to be honest with ya because as I've stated above, I've had the "learning knowlede" & "work experiance" on aircraft in my back pocket, so thats been purty helpful indeed! I wannuh get my girlfriend into the hobby as well. . . .but she needs a big confidence booster! I just hope i can be that for her. Thankya for your reply & for your help as well. Ive watched a few of your youtube videos as well & i must say youre an awesome R/C pilot. Hopefully i can be as awesome as all you "🔥hotshots🔥" out there. I wannuh graduate to a bigger, heavier plane soon so that i dont have to wait for a 3-5mph breeze or none at all here in colorado just to fly my lil one! I look forward to more of your videos. Keep up the great work & fly safe. Take care. . . . . .Rodney.
Hey Brian this video helped me alot. What size screwdriver do I need for the 4 wing hex screws?
I can't recall, but I assume it'll be 2mm like almost all the planes we do..
Here's a link to the set I use... WIHA Metric Driver Set amzn.to/3gykJIb

Hi Brian & camera crew, I'm a new boy to the flying world, well sort of I did a bit some 15/20 years ago and oh boy haven't things changed in the hobby, I'm over here in the UK and at the moment it's cold and not nice to be outside flying, anyway I've just got myself a NX8 when I first bought it it had a problem and would not start up & so it went back and the SD card was corrupt anyway they have sorted it, now i'm another one that's got you as a tutor, and I'm following your channel it's brilliant so don't ever stop, now question could you please explain what is F-Mode as my NX8 is in mode 1 is it something I need to worry about,
Thanks in advance
Regards Paul
Flight Mode - I use them NOW for some Forward Programming, but at the time of this P-51 I don't think we had needed to use F-Mode (flight mode) yet.
We have some more recent videos where I dabble in the Flight Mode setup more...thinking about it, off the top of my head, I think we did it on the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick and Hangar 9 P-47 recently
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hi Brian thanks for your reply understand, I watch and rewatch and you have convinced me I’m going for the P 51 June nite 1.2 because you said :) I’ll probably watch again especially on the set up, eventually I would like to think I could get upto the 1.5 but like you said need some experience before we can get that far, anyway thanks again keep doing what your doing, and wishing you have a great 2022 for all of your family mate
Kind Regards Paul
