#rc #airplane #p51mustang
Just maidened mine. The intent was after increasing throw to go down the runway and see if she would track stright and then stop. Well she took right off. So easy when you have rudder control tracking her straight.
I have the original release and the gear doors were very stiff and brittle. They both popped on landing. Easy fix with your demonstration! Thanks Brian.
Thanks! So you made for more rudder throw, and she was easier to launch??? AWESOME!!!! She can be a handful, but then that's not always a bad thing ;)
Purchased one Brian, and from your master link to HH. Thanks for the effort (both of you) to put out these instruction videos. Sadly, it arrived DOA with a loose pin on the fuselage side of the aileron connector. No ailerons or cool lights... I am just so glad the loose pin did not make enough contact to fool me, then punish me in the air. I’d have had a nasty crash and probably never known the reason why, so here is a tip for others who get this model: Do what Brian did and test all those connections with a servo driver. I love the one built into the battery checker. As for the connection from Fuselage to wing and anywhere there are pins (as opposed to sockets), push gently on the pins with a toothpick or some such, and check that they don’t slide back into the connector or wobble about.
OK, so that’s disappointing, but here’s the good part. After the mildly annoying process of using the contact form to get the process started, and the also frustrating delays in communication due to a busy tech support department, they got back to me, reviewed the description and photos I sent on the phone, and immediately put in an order for the connector and screw I needed to effect the repair. Those parts arrived FedEx yesterday. I’ve yet to fix and fly it but felt ready to post an important data point, and here it is. Brian often raves about Horizon’s support, but honestly, and don’t be insulted Brian, you have to take that with a bit of skepticism. People who are sponsored by, or have financial relationships with, or are provided products to review, often get support that the general populace will never experience. I know this not just as a suspicion, but as a fact. I founded Measurement Computing Corp and we had flags for large and influential customers. Who wouldn’t? A customer who represents a chunk of your income, or has the reach to burn your reputation, is a customer that is going to get special treatment. I have no idea if Brian does, but one has to wonder. Well, with regard to Horizon Hobby I’m not wondering anymore. The support from Horizon is great, they’ve been great to me, and I don’t mean a damn thing to Horizon beyond being a regular customer. So that’s my endorsement. I hope you experience the same great support I have.
Thanks for the comment Brendrix, and firstly, sorry you had a bad pin!!! I understand yours and other's skepticism. You have to remember that before I was working with Horizon Hobby, I was in the exact same boat. I've JUST last week, called to ask for a motor on my little UMX A-10...one of the leads melted on ONE of the motors! Easy diagnostics, and then a couple pictures later (that weren't even asked for) and I had the part in the mail a couple days later. I need to install it, and it's a pain in the butt to have to deal with this, but it'll be made right. I've been in arguments to the point of wanting to pull my hair out with Hobbyking, and a few other select companies (I even had at least ONE like this at HH - but we kissed and made up, interestingly enough!). A lot of the issues experienced in RC Hobby originate from operator error (I'm included) so the hobby companies have an uphill battle deciphering if the customer want free parts, or if they had a problem that was caused by them, the MFG...which is tough, but HH is one of the best if things don't go perfectly. I've had good luck with a few other companies, don't get me wrong, but I've had terrible luck with others. Ultimately, I'm as cheap, and hard headed as they come. I generally fight until I get what I need, while many will roll over too easy, or others come on WAY too strong and prompt a defensive "No" from companies.
At the end of the day, I need people to know that if they do everything right, and even if they do some things wrong, Horizon Hobby will be one of the best at being there to make it right. They might say no once in a while, but I might be fudging a bit once in a while...there it is ;)
Glad you're getting this beauty airborne soon!
P.S. One last tip - Keep the thing from ground looping to death - keep her on her mains as long as you can on landing! Good luck!
I'm an Aerospace Engineer. The CG is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. The root is the portion of the wing touching the body. This is a straight-line distance, not curved as in over the wing chord.
yes, I have since corrected my way of measuring for CG. This was an incorrect way of doing it, as you mentioned.
Thanks
Hey Brian, Jeff Here!!! Haven't flown the Ranger 1220 yet, because of weather. But With the Huricane on us, I decided to start this Build and had it all done and ready to Fly in less than one day!!!
Little confused at first with the binding and having safe activited, using an NX10, but with your help, got all the little bugs out.
And as an added feature, have all the switches with Audio descriptions and settings.
Thanks again for everything...
Jeff
Thank you both again!!! The flying, explanation, and camera coverage!!! Camera crew has " nerves of steel"!!! Bravo-Well done!!!
Our pleasure!
Had my Maiden yesterday! Flies wonderfully! However: I had the same issues as you:
• One of the retract strut covers broke on my first flight only they didn't give me any spare ones!!! Currently trying to sort that out with Horizon now.
• That 3mm of down elevator is nonsense. If it wasn't for safe mode my first flight would have been really hairy. Mechanically put the elevator level for the second flight and BAM. Perfect level flight. Flew like an absolute dream. Like the 1.2 June Nite but with a much firmer stance in the sky. Flies on rails.
• Ground control: What ground control!!!!! You cannot keep this thing in a straight line! Learned that you have to very slowly increase throttle for take off, and abandon take offs if it shows any sign of straying off path.
All small things though really. I consider my first two flights a massive success. Got a little work to do on my dual rates and expo. I followed both your settings for this and also referred back to your settings for 1.2m June Nite and decided for something halfway in between. Worked out that I want to soften the ailerons, but not rudder or elevator, so I think I'll just put more expo on ailerons on my mid rates and fly on mid rates all the time. Once I get comfortable with a plane I don't really use different rates, they are just good for the first few flights till you are sorted.
Thanks for these videos I just wouldn't know what to do without them!
Gonna buy a Viper next so the other night I watched all your viper videos!!!!
YEP, glad I'm not just a BAD pilot ;) "• Ground control: What ground control!!!!! You cannot keep this thing in a straight line! Learned that you have to very slowly increase throttle for take off, and abandon take offs if it shows any sign of straying off path."
So glad you were able to get a starting point from watching my videos ;)
This is just such a fun video. Admit I only watched the first flying part of the video and am saving the rest for when I actually buy one. The fact that you take off from your driveway, land in the street, almost clip your mailbox - that is REAL rc flying...not some groomed field. I just love this. I'll explore more deeply into your video if I buy one. Thanks for putting this together for us!
You're welcome, and very glad you stopped by. We review them, and call them like we see it ;) Unless I crash it screwing around, and even then sometimes too, I'll share what we experience. We don't want to make a "Horizon Hobby" Factory review video...they have a RUclips channel for that ;) We want to show the "REAL DEAL" and help guide those in the market for a new plane, to the RIGHT one. There's a bunch of choices, and we are glad to help you choose well!
You are by far the best RC pilot I have seen on RUclips and your reviews are right on. I have been flying the HH P51 D for a few months now and still haven't mastered the landings yet. Hard main gear wheels is part of the problem, but I have learned to soften the landings by touching down on one wheel first. Try it sometime it really does work with this plane. Thanks to your wife for great video recordings.
Thanks, will do! I did that by accident with my new P-51D 1.2m June Nite (review coming in the next few days - insider secrete!!!)
Brian I want to say out of all the people I watched set this up you were spot on with you adjustments to the elevator. I went by the manual and wish I had listened to you to start with. I got her back down but will be making the adjustments you did and I’m sure I will enjoy it much better.
Awesome! Glad you agreed - I couldn't believe the manual suggested that down setting!!!
Well after watching you I manually trim most of it out still had a touch. The minute I took off I was like you should have listened to Brian. Lucky I was prepared and then trimmed it all out with the radio. Just glad I was prepared after watching.
I'm getting hooked on your videos man. I love the personality and your flying skills are amazing. You exhibit truly great control of your planes.
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words! We put a lot of work into these videos, and we're so glad you're enjoying them! It is longer than a feature length film, so I hope you like them - LOL!!!
He really does! I LOVE his videos they inspired me to get the sport cub s2
@@mr.stombrat4140 You cannot be disappointed with that plane. It's great.
@@Mrzizzy69 it really is I love it
@Georgianna Degler yeah nobody cares take your spam elsewhere please
Brian glue (foam tac) shelf liner on your battery tray rather than Velcro. It allows you to slide the battery when your sorting your C of G
But when you tighten your straps your battery is secure plus you don’t have to stick Velcro to all of your batteries 😉 You can pay me later !
thanks David!
Brian, she is gorgeous. Thank you guys. Megan is not only the head of the camera crew but now safety director for air operations. Brian she needs a raise in pay lol
LOL - Very nice!!!
Best camera crew on youtube!
Totally agree - Thanks Ken!
Hi Brian, I struggle with take off on this P-51D. It has such power that it torques on take off! It is an awesome plane to fly with really outstanding colour and is very striking. I fly at a designated flying zone in Aus and families stop to watch because of this plane. CG is always critical but in this plane I find that the stall zone is deadly if the CG is not perfect. A really long landing strip is also good LOL
I'm glad to hear this, as I too have had a heck of a time with ground handling. It's like spray and pray ground handling...you give her hell and hope she'll transition from the tail wheel to the rudder authority in time, but before you know it, you're in the air and flying!!!
Landings are very sketchy, I could drive it down the block on the mains, but as soon as I try to drop the tail wheel, it's just a total guessing game!
I love how you are so passionate with flying RC planes, It makes me just want to go out and buy a $1000 Spitfire!! Thanks!
Do it!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah, will when I get money:):):):) I LOVE RC flying!
I got the 1.2 m I have not flown it yet. Those landings are freaking me out. Great vid man!
This one is WAY harder to land, than the 1.2m. I have videos of the June Nite too ;) Here's the playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLXTH0DstRDc5DaxlODTRhbpEuVsKk01mj
I'm here for the commentary lol. Never Stop! That mustang is a completely different species of aircraft, never seen something fly like that.
I'm glad you're here Ahmad!
Just when I thought your videos were long you release a video over three hours, good thing I am in quarintine and not at work or I would never have the time to watch this video.
LOL - Now this whole pandemic makes sense, right??? Three hours of pure bliss though ;)
Well now, I've been considering this "tin-pony" or the FMS 1700 since its inception, and it's this video that finally sold me on this version! Thank you, I relate to and share your joyous enthusiasm so fully, and am reminded to stay playful! My very favorite part of your whole movie however, are those magnificent hands...Stunningly beautiful and with such lovely elegance of motion the camera operators hands captivated my attention with their brief cameo.. But then there's your flying, Awesome! I can't wait to get mine so I can practice-up! Cheers, Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the whole thing!!! This plane is amazing, and my camera crew is wonderful!!!
Brian you're so lucky your wing just slid through so easily. I jimmied it in and out for an hour and gave up. Gonna try tomorrow again. Still blown away by the size of this thing.
"I jammed it in and out for an hour and gave up" - wow...TMI - LOL - I'd try tomorrow even if you had success ;)
WOWZERS!!!
Okay, now, in all seriousness. Why couldn't you get it in? Are you talking about the tail or one of the main wings??? If you're having trouble, you need to look into the alignment of the connectors. Take a servo extension cable and drape it between the connectors and make sure they connect. If they do, now test the wing....are all the servos working? Was one backward??? Get some more information about if it was capable of alignment.
Also, If I'm not mistaken, can you just pull out the wing connector plugs and see if they'll go into each other? If not, that's your issue.
@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL didn't realise that's how it came across. I'm talking about the main wing installation, it seems like the servo pins on the fuselage are slightly out of alignment and I'm not sure how I can fix that. It's also really hard to see the alignment on this thing. I'm thinking to take out the wing connector plugs, try and see if they go into the fuselage, and then stuff them back into the wing again. I was watching RC informer's assembly video and he seemed to have the same problem that I did with the wing installation, but he bent the servo pins somehow and got it to work, which I'm sure I would stuff up some how.
Well that’s a nice classic warbird 👍
God bless take care stay safe
Sure is & Thanks ;)
I absolutely love that smart battery checker!
As soon as I saw you using it I had to check it out and I bought it. Best tool I’ve ever bought.
Totally Agree!
First official crash today too haha put the umx cub into the ground motor stopped working, worst timing too with the parts discontinued, I ended up buying another cause I love it so much
You will have some good spare parts now at least, but now you're official ;)
Brian, I saw you on the Horizon Hobby Air Hangout with Jason and the other gentleman, you did a great job, as one of your early subscribers, I've learned a lot of the years and you have helped countless pilots, I'm happy you're getting the recognition you deserve :-)
Awesome, thank you! I saw you, and talked with Jason about your landing gear door woes, which is why your comment was highlighter :) We did a "test" before the LIVE (on Wednesday) and we talked about that issue. I really like Jason, as he's one of the few that will acknowledge a problem at HH. I was saying that when he first stated over there (well, turned out he had been there before, but came back).
This is a very good thing, since so many think HH is loosing it's customer focus.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I agree, Jason has personally done more than any other person to bring Horizon Hobby's customers back into the fold, he's straightforward, honest and a true gentleman.
Brian buddy I love your attention to detail. Makes a (OCD) RC lover like me feel so happy and fulfilled watching your videos my friend THANK YOU take care and keep you and your family safe. Mike from England
Thank you Mike. I want things just SO, but I've also learned to strike the balance between being too picky on a plane that might not last too long ;) LOL
Wow...never flown a RC plane but that's one beautiful bird...had a few small helicopters but never moved up to the planes, this is my first view of your videos so subscribed for sure as your attention to detail and making sure watchers get good info on the planes and all the technical information. So glad I found your vids...stay safe be watching more for sure...got to get me a plane for sure. All the best stuart from uk 😁
Thanks Stuart, and welcome! We've got 1500+ videos, so might take you a few months to catch up ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC I will deffernetly try hard to watch as many as possible for sure 😁
Get the mini p51d from banggood, 75 dollars ready to fly, transmitter,3 batteries and transmitter included, my favourite rc plane now, very crashproof, flies 12min , has stability assist,and goes 30ish mph great for beginners
You know I didn't realise how big this plane was until I saw it scaled up underneath the a10 in your video. I bought this bird and the box is just absolutely humoungous. Going to assemble it tomorrow.
It is HUUUUGE ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC yup finally assembled it and got the wing in after a 100 tries. Completely underestimated the size of this thing.
@@BrianPhillipsRC btw thanks Brian for showing us your detailed assembly videos. It really helps those of us who tend to goof things up on assembly.
“ Get outta that ditch “ 🤣🥺 great recovery 😎
She doesn't listen very well - LOL!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC 🤣😂
1:12 I love that motto 😎
For sure - we want to share our full experience ;)
Thanks for the in depth setup of the transmitter I am new to flying had my first flights this weekend with a sport cub s and a DX 6e and your videos really helped me setup my radio
Excellent! I have been reviewing these planes for a few years now, so I bet when you get ready to buy another one, I may already have footage to help you out :) The key here is that you're new, and you have a ton of questions - that's normal, and you'll need some help. I want to help you. There are all sorts of people who will, but there's also a lot of people who won't...try to get someone who will help you out, and you'll have a much better time of it.
Good luck!
Its a tricky beast, I figured it would be easier to handle onroad, but its tricky, I have designated this one to more open landing spots, curbs are bad..
YES. It's a LOT harder to fly than the 1.2m June Nite, for example.
This plane is so cool....its very stable and silent....loved it...thanks for the video dude
Glad you liked it, and thanks!
Been flying this warbird in Realflight 9.5 and even though I land it 100% of the time, it was impossible to do without bouncing it like you did. Took lots of practice to get to land smoothly without the bounce. It’s hard to master, but I’m working on it, still only landing it without a bounce 1 out of 4 landings. The key is about 1/3 throttle with full flaps as I shallow glide down and cutting throttle just before the wheels touch. Hardest plane to land smoothly in Realflight for me so far.
yes!
Yes I’ve been waiting on you to get one oooo yaaa .. I had to replace all my servos for my Ailerons and flaps also my landing gear motors .. My Servos for my landing gear doors to.. I went with all Metal servos .. you’re awesome Brian I’ve been waiting on this video for the P 51 for a long time from you LOL I’m glad you wait for everybody else and I get to see you fly and your true reviews love them all..
LOL - everyone else gets one before me :(... I'm so glad to have it!!! I can say one thing...and don't kill me for saying it...I think the 1.2m is almost as enjoyable to fly. It's a lot easier, and less expensive, and almost as awe striking. I think the pucker factor on this beauty is still strong. Maybe after a few more flights, I'll be more at ease. I can say that I've flown the 1.2m Blondie at full speed in very close proximity AT NIGHT more than a time or two, but I was very used to that plane, and it has seen a LOT of life!
That being said, this plane is Awesome!
Brian Phillips .. LoL Not gonna kill you for saying it 🤣I have the 1.2 June night I love it ..And yes that p51 rolls fast on landing and takes off quick. .. What do you think about me putting in that 100 amp ESC Because I have an extra one that’s That’s the same as the one that’s in the mustang and a 637 receiver I was thinking about putting that inside of the June night would I have to upgrade the motor??
I loved the paint scheme on this plane I had to get it!! :) I haven't got to fly it yet. But I will when the weather is nice again!! I have watched this video alot... I like how you and the camera crew work together on everything and Yes, I agree Sometimes you just don't want to land when the planes are so much fun... Expensive crash on this level/type of plane!!! Keep this plane flying untouched, It's too pretty to mess up at all.. Smart Tech is AWESOME!!! :)
Agreed! Thanks Scott! Good luck when you take her up finally!
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew. This is a long video. As always it is well done. Ive been thinking about that same plane but its a little pricey. I just may have to have it. You always show the skills at the sticks and excellent radio setup. Mrs Megan is always perfect on the camera. Well done, just having some fun RC'n with friends and family members. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys.
I understand totally the price point concerns you have, especially if you also need to buy a $110 SMART battery too!!! ...BUT it's a beauty, and so many well done features. This is not like the disappointment that was the EC-1500, and that too was quite expensive. This plane is just well done on all fronts. BUT it's not the easiest P-51 I've ever flown...that being said, it's for sure the most capable, and biggest. I know my nerves are playing a part in this, since it's a long awaited, and expensive plane ;) When I get more comfortable with it, I'll be taking off and landing from my driveway.
P.S. I must also say that I don't even take advantage of one of the best features of this plane...it's transportability. It comes apart easy, and quick, something that many people NEED.
Who is this toy KING!
Are you asking or nominating??? :)
Nominating of course !
100% on the elevator correction. Initially when I was testing the deflection full up elevator looked to be neutral to me. Then I watched the rest of the video and saw what happened upon first flight. Sometimes as the pilot you can't always believe what is in the manual, better safe than sorry.
just picked up this beautiful P-51 warbird up today at my local hobby shop
I hope you enjoy it!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'm sure I will. I used your link and ordered 6 of the 6s 5000mah 30c smart batteries. cost more for the batteries than the plane lol. ($722.63) I have my eye out on the FMS Beaver so they will work with that one as well.
thanks Brian and camera crew! always learning things from your videos. i like the hot glue trick for the CG spot!
Our pleasure! Thank YOU!
You say nervous, ah don’t worry about it, cause I had all the nerves for you. LOL it loves the ditch. Maybe floats should be the first MOD. All that messing around with the EXPO, I normally follow your set ups. I think you normally go 10,20,and 30%. I think! This was a great video. Thanks again.
Yes, she loved ditch diving!!! LOL
As for screwing around with Expo...yep. My HIGH Expo, and low rate setting made this plane fly like a total beauty! Only wish I could get her to behave with the tail wheel down.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know Warbird-trail drager what can we say! But it looks SO good. I keep telling myself it's not that expensive, but my wife says oh yes it is. Well we've all hear that before (with do respect)
Damn Brian...stop it already 😉 Awsome flying.... still waiting on FedEx 1 week late A10... Fms... 70mm in runners... P51...i have the 850....but really want the bigger one. Stick it bro. .. that thing punches threw the skies .. plane to see another day...go around again...glide it in on road.. dang can we join you looks like enough room for a few planes ..lol nice video Megan 1👍👍👍
I have room outside, but in the basement...it's another story - LOL!!!
Need to find the time to watch THIS one! May hafta get one..
LOL - it's long
OOOOH YA BABY! Love the sound of it! I love the warbirds most! Oh boy, almost went for a dip 😨! ☠Semper Fi! 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸🖖
So close! BUT got lucky!!!
Great to see you on the HH Hangout show Brian but sorry I just ain't got 3 hours to optic this vid . Will come back to it from time to time. Back flying again here SE Qld in Australia.
No worries - Flying weather is here for us, so I totally get it!!! Glad you watched the Live event. It was less painful than I expected ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC , it's winter here now which is our best flying time but we can fly all year round, the benefits of a sub tropical climate but hot and sticky in high summer with wind nearly every day. You did a good job on HH. Congrats.
And here is a little help with landing a P51 you need to come in at a steeper angle while giving just enough throttle to hold your glide path your flaps at full will keep you steady,
you will be very pleased.
Thanks for the tip!
All I can say is .... “oh my goodness”
When you both buy & build , you do it in a big way. Hollywood next!!
You should see the corner where I keep all my packages...it's FULL ;) Loads more coming ASAP!!!
What Pandemic.... it’s an RC Pandemic!!
Wonderful, cannot wait. It is 20:30am Monday here zero wind and full sun 60f so flying the A10 & Twin O... then I can settle in to watch your movie length video
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'm a Hollywood Producer, just sayin'.
Oh man, that Blue is it! Nicely done.
I agree it's a beauty. At first, I was not into the blue, but once I pulled it out of the box, it looked so much better!
Best rc plane videos! Hands down!
Glad you think so! We appreciate your comments Hayden!
Yoooo the beginning of this video had me 🤣😂🤣 dope vid 💪🏻
Thanks John!
Nice mini series Brian 😆 That is a great looking Mustang.It does need a little friction on the gear to slow it down.🍗🦊
I've been thinking about putting a zip tie on the strut to engage the side or top of the tire, just enough to slow her down, but which could be easily removed if I don't like the way it works. When I figure it out, I'll be sharing a video.
Brian set your timer to turn on and off with your throttle cut switch. You’ll always know the actual time under power. I learned that trick from CoeShow619 and it works great! Btw great videos you’ve inspired me to work harder as a newer fixed wing pilot so I can get some of these awesome planes.
I keep hearing this tip. Glad we're an inspiration ;)
I grabbed the pushrod with needle nose pliers and tried to move it with no success. I will keep working on it. Hopefully I can get it working without new parts. Lately Bangood has been in the slow boat from China mode and it seems everything is a month or two to receive. I just received a UMX Turbo Timber from HH so this may get me moving on that. Still have to buy a transmitter. Thanks and enjoy that P-51.
When you fly the Turbo Timber, you will quickly forget the repairs you're making :)
What transmitter are you thinking about? Any of these???
Transmitters...
ix20 - bit.ly/2Rv1d3M
iX12 - bit.ly/2yOEDN7
DX9 - bit.ly/3eh3klx
DX8 - bit.ly/2xmsD5f ------ I would do this or better (above), if you're getting obsessed [like me].
DX8e - bit.ly/34uxoWn
DX6 - bit.ly/2Rvik5z
DX6E - bit.ly/39Ym1Y9
DXe - bit.ly/2XsApFi
TS8G Plus - bit.ly/39Vxwzy
I was leaning toward the DX8 with future aircraft needs in mind. As far as being obsessed I am a retired airline pilot and airplanes have been in my blood for 50+ years. I have watched the RC hobby for much of that time but it was usually too expensive or difficult until now. Your videos moved me to jump in first with the mini Trainstar and then the Sport Cub 500. Been having fun [and crashes] with the Sport Cub. The Turbo Timber looks like a fun step up to improve skills with for a while. Really like that P-51 though!!! I cut the wing off the Sport Cub last night and it looks like the elevator servo arm was rotated 180 degrees and impacting the rudder servo arm. Jammed. Don't have any idea how that happened.
Go for the DX8 - you'll NEVER look back!
DX8 - bit.ly/2xmsD5f
...and to be totally honest, the DX9 has such a big price jump, that you can just upgrade later when you get to more sophisticated aircraft.
Glad to hear you found the issue with the servo. I figured you were bound up. If it fails to work again, there's a gear inside that micro servo that's broken. You may take it apart and visually inspect it to learn, first hand, what happened....if you can't just take off and run with it after "centering" it manually.
Hey Brian, love the depth of your videos, and another great one here! You mentioned getting an ix20, I can assure you, if you can swing it, you WON'T regret it! Thanks for the great reviews. Mike.
I'm working on it now, but it's going to take some convincing, and quite a load of cash...plus, I was a bit concerned I may not be able to share HOW to setup these beauties, in a very relatable manner on my channel. The DX18 works just like some of the others, DX8, DX9, etc...so I don't want to lose that. Also, I know there's some features on the iX20 I don't need....but if I'm gonna upgrade, it's gonna be for that ;)
Nice you finally got it, I remember when you said it was a nice plane but a little expensive but I still got it lol and just flew it today as well it’s definitely a nice plane had a hard landing and wing scraped a little.
yes, I remember saying that ;) I also scuffed the right aileron on the first or second landing (Can't remember which one)
This plane is expensive, but I think it's a good value. It's BIG, and has all the features that I clamor about to Horizon Hobby, so I can't complain. I just want to figure out how to get her to behave when I drop the tail dragger.
Megan... sorry... camera crew ;-) You have a big child at the throttle. :-)) And to Brian..... Nice Video again.
Yes, she is fully aware ;)
HEY. . . . . . .🖐! I DID NOT GIVE YA PERMISSION TO FLY MY MUSTANG🛩 . . . . .🧏♂️ !!! BRING IT BACK TO MY HANGAR. . . . . .ASAP👉⛺!!! LOL LOL LOL. . . .Whats the deal with ya saying "my 4 minutes???" Those were some awesome high speed passes as well as touch and goes!!! Is there any way ya'll can apply a layer of clearcoat over the surface area of the whole airplane to help protect the painted surface from scrapes? Would a clear coat do any damage to the styrofoam at all??? Thanks for sharing this video.
Im tempted to go git a big P-51D Mustang like this one & go straight from my Sport Cub S2 to this! Ive just gottuh have my favorite plane in the whole entire world!!!
I'm getting ready to buy next month P-51 d
I mentioned this on your other comment, but if you're considering this P-51 1.5m, but having trouble with other planes, I would HIGHLY encourage you to get the 1.2m FIRST. You'll have a LOT easier flying plane on your hands ;) This 1.5m is not the easiest flying Eflite plane we've ever flown...it is a LOOKER, and it flies good, but BOY is it CRAZY on pavement...if you're on grass, you'll be WAY better off...fyi.
P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI
Can you put a gerbil in there next time? I think that would be hilarious, and because gerbils are close to vermin as any, I think the peta crazies would let it go. So, please make this consideration please. I beg you. I used to have gerbils, but they went to heaven in my Boeing 787 last week. Take good care maestro.
I swear I already answered this comment...
Stick your tiny self in the prop at full throttle, cruel man
DutchSweetShid it was a joke. Let’s try to be a bit smarter today, it’s the first day for you to try to change yourself.....
@@hy8389 im also joking i thought about building a hamster wheel in the cockpit wich would power a light lol
Lets all go fly with Brian ... Megan will record it !... lol nice job i really enjoy your channel, enjoy your Holiday. Brian i would wall mount one on mother's day but lost my mom and wife....so i just buy now... no wall hangars... All good hey back to that glider...Asw 28.. i had fun with mine trashing it...thank god for your fix it video. Any chance of re-visting I enjoy your modified version 👍😉
Sorry to hear that! As for the ASW28, I love it, but haven't flown her for a long time. We've been so busy flying everything else - good problem to have!!!
Just finished watching this entire video. You are right! This bird is gorgeous!! Wish I had the property size. Afraid I’m stuck with UMX Timber sizes....BTW rebuilt mine 3 times....I keep hitting trees.
You get a gold star Fly Bar!!!!! 3 hours + AMAZING!
I thought only my prison following would get 100% view times?!??! LOL
I want to setup a bigger landing strip (for full scale) in the back...and for this type of thing.
Brian Phillips all you need is a grass strip to fly most of your big planes. Saw your A380 crash. Don’t trash it..fix it. You also need aluminum shock type landing struts for it to really stick the landings....that and better foam or rubber wheels.
Dear Brian and camera crew thanks for the honest reviews I enjoy your real self when your reviewing you tell the pros and cons if you don't already have the Freewing F-22 Raptor you need one, rc motions have them but you can search or a better price. This 99mm EDF is so much fun to fly and it has slow flight down to perfect. It has every channel possible and the retracts are awesome. I just ordered the e-flight P-51d you sold me on it and I can't wait to get it. Take care and I will be watching your reviews. Thank you. Question what lipo battery charger would you pick as the best?
Thanks! I love the F22, but haven't bought anything from MotionRC for a long time. I want to review the AL37 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad, but they can't work with me for now...so I'm not going to do any free marketing for them - which make me sad ;(.....
As for the charger...
Option 1 - Power Supply - bit.ly/3eV2E5G + S1500 - bit.ly/2W08OJd = AWESOME COMBO, but pricey!!!!!
Option 2 - S2100 - bit.ly/2KCWLwh = GREAT OPTION, and DUAL!
Brian Phillips So you’re saying if MotionRC doesn’t pay you you aren’t going to review their products?
6:35 cameras crew kick ass
She is amazing ;)
Nice flight bro I like this p51 very nice
Thanks a lot! It's a BEAUTY!!!
Excellent video, extremely informative!
Glad it was helpful!
That thing is beautiful man
totally! It's harder to fly than I expected, but might be nerves from being expensive, and big ;)
Primo spot to fly. Good stuff
Thanks! We sure love it!!!
i love this one....I have her sister.....maybe need this one.......watching thinking.....
Nice!!!! She is also beautiful!!!
Your commentary cracks me up. But this plane is cool just watch Pilot Ryan's Flight videos as well. This may be My Birthday present to myself this June
I hope you'll buy if from my link, and not that jerk - Pilot Ryan - LOL...JK, he's a cool guy too - but I was just talking to him, and he asked me to tell you to buy it from MY link ;) He's got too many sales this month - LOL!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC 😄 do you remember me from horizon fest 2019.
3:07:08 in length, Bollywood movie category, just missing the singing and dancing LOL
Also, this plane is blue, so Multirotor Go HATES it ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC I can not hate with that yellow
Alright Brian I need to stop watching your videos I ended up getting one of these after watching your video😂. Great review my friend
I'm sorry ;)
Your next video should be the next plane to get after this one. I have beat up my Carbon S cub and it's great. The only problem is that it is rarely calm enough to fly it. I am now looking for a larger training with the SAFE that can fly into a stronger wind.
I have some videos coming for you!!! If you don't already, setup notifications so you don't miss any new videos we publish. I will be covering some of this very soon!
My 5000 smart pack is flush with the front of the battery tray and balanced perfect on a Dubro CG balancer. Not sure why yours is so far forward.
Maybe they omitted a nose weight???!?!? I had a buddy that had this happen, we didn't realize it until it was crashed and the BALL was missing!
The esc is likely pulled backwards in the nose since it’s not glued in place. Try putting your hand in the fuselage and pushing it way forward but not so far that the orange heat sink on top of it touches any foam n fuselage.
Love you Brian!! Love these 3 hour videos I can just run them all day long while in the shop. AWESOME-GORGEOUS BABY GORGEOUS
Thanks KenBro!!! Keep it on repeat - LOL ;)
Wow that’s stunning.
It REALLY is. The retractable tail dragger is just beauty - it could ruin the 1.2m RC Aircraft enthusiast for 1.5 to1.7m - LOL!!!
You’re a funny dude and the “camera crew” is cool. Sub’d
Thanks Tom!!! Welcome - more where that came from. I think we're pretty close to 1500+ videos, so you got some serious catching up to do ;) LOL
Almost bought this bird but I think I’ll squeeze the trigger and purchase 2.0m “ Draco “ instead , for now 🤩🤩 since I already own two 1.2m warbirds.
AWESOME!!!
Here's my Draco reply ;)
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.

@@BrianPhillipsRC I totally understand all good Captain, can’t wait but in the mean time and between time I’ll keep an eye open for you guys next review. Cheers 🥂
Love the plane, hate hate hate the livery
I kinda agree ;) I wanted it to look like the Blondie ;)
your bird is suffering from the Hughes curse. the original P 51 prototype howard hughes crash landed in a corn field.
I think it was just pilot error ;)
Boy that is a big sucker. A little steep in price for me until I get to be a little better pilot. Your grass is looking great. I was thinking that you should land on the road. Famous last words What's the least that could happen.....That propeller is almost as big as my real Cessna 150's . Please land going straight until stopped. Makes my heart stop when you turn. Just love all the gear action. That battery looks like it could start my car. That engine probably got real hot.
I don't turn, the plane does...I try to stop the turning, and it's got a mind of it's own...that's why you saw me try to keep up on the mains for so long - I was dreading the ground loop, knowing the high probability of ditching it ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Just like mine it will chose the worst place to end up.
Hey Brian, what a video!! Very in depth and enjoyable. You and your camera crew make a perfect team. Don't ever get ride of her or your channel will fall flat on its face.
I may have missed something but it looked like all you needed to do was raise your alarm voltage setting equal to or higher than actual battery voltage to initiate the telemetry alarm. Did you ever get the alarm to work?
Thanks for sharing that beautiful mustang with us!
Thanks, and I agree about if Megan stops filming...
As for the telemetry alarm...I never got it to alarm...so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Why don't you try what I suggested. I saw you changing the alarm voltage but not close enough to cause it to trip.
You must like putting your your plane in the ditch. Twice I saw you put that plane in the Rhubarb lol
This plane is squirrelly as all get out, once you get the tail dragger on the ground. This is one of the reasons I've concluded that the FW190 is a better value in the 1.5m size class. Both are great, but the FW behaves better.
I have to say you have me laughing when I watch these!! It’s a combo of info and airplane porn!!! Thanks for lighting up my days!!!
We're so glad you enjoy it ;) Thanks!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC your welcome
And after a long hard day/week of working with people. They truly make me laugh and appreciate funny good people!!
Awesome video. You 2 rock it. , !
Thanks Bill!
i don't even fly, but i enjoy you content.
That's awesome! I'm glad you do Eric. Thanks!!!
Hermoso ese p51 siempre lo he querido saludos.....👍👍👍🇨🇴
Hi there :)
Nice one Brian!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Just bought this tonight from your link, should be here before Christmas. Thinking I would use this to practice before I maiden my Hangar 9 P 51D. Oh and should I upgrade the 9g servos the HH P-51D? Merry Christmas to you and your Camera Crew and Youngins!
I wouldn't upgrade a thing, but the plane is a SQUIRREL on the tail wheel, so better get her up, and taxi her from the mains!!! She's good in the air, but she'll also put some hair on your chest ;) LOL
Enjoy!!!
This is good show Brian, I enjoy your videos and as it is overt you love the subject! This E-Flite warbird has caught my eyes. I wonder whether you can show instructions on how to install/use a transmitter/receiver other than Spektrum (e.g. Fr Sky Taranis) that offer a SAFE feature. In my RC Aero Club, we have interference issues with a nearby cell tower and Spektrum. We experience loss of control and plane crash. Nothing against Spektrum, it works wonderfully overall. I just want to avoid that risk and Taranis seems immune to it. Many thanks and btw, camera crew did a good job as well! Keep making videos!!!!!!
That's a terrible issue to have to deal with. I don't know how you would do this, since I'm not sure what other protocol offerings are. I would be calling the FCC and getting that tower fixed.
not sure if you found out the answer, however in order to make the alarm work on your Tx, you need this www.horizonhobby.com/air-telemetry-flight-pack-voltage-sensor%3A-ec3-spma9556 granted i know you don't use the ec3 plugs, but this is just showing you what you need. Hopefully this helps. If you've already figured it out, disregard. P.S. that can be used on any plane with a telemetry Rx.
So you're saying the SMART AVIAN ESC Doesn't share the voltage of the pack with the telemetry module???
@@BrianPhillipsRC no i didnt say that at all. i was just sharing what horizon told me when i got my dx8. that was to have the low voltage alarm go off from the airplanes battery pack, and make it audible on your receiver they told me i needed that sensor in the link i shared. if its misinformation then let me know
EFlite has a trend of ROCK HARD TIRES that cause bouncy landings. RC Geek swapped tires. I swapped tires on my 850mm Pitts also. it makes a huge difference. grippy soft tires slow down better too
Nice. I heard that, and suspect it will help a lot...plus look way cooler too!
Brian I ordered the E Flite F16 Thunderbird and this arrived !🤣 they kind of screwed up LOL !!! So I’m going to keep this plane though and buy the F16 Thunderbird here in about another week and hope it’s the right plane 👍!!! I haven’t flown mine yet but I will be sometime. I have the E Flite P-51 1.2m June Nite like you do and I have flown mine quite a bit. Any tips for flying this specific plane ? I have mine built! Any thing YOU noticed while building it that I should be aware of ? I also bought a SMART 6S 4000 and I also have a 5000. Which do you recommend? How did you get the perfect CG? Thanks Brian ! Keep up the good videos and flying and camera crew keep up the GREAT filming!!!😁👍
SWEET! Great little upgrade!!! It's only like TWICE the price ;) She's a HAND-FULL, so be careful. She's a squirrel on the ground, so keep her on her mains as long as you can, OR land her in the grass, and you'll be fine...otherwise, she flies great, and looks amazing!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Ok ! Lol yeah, I got it $200 off though 😉. I ordered that F16 Thunderbird and hopefully it’s the right plane this time lol! I’ll be going to watch your video on it for like the 5th time and I’ll comment on it if I have any questions because I know you’ll have the best answer!👍👍👍. Thanks for the info! I agree, it looks beautiful and I sure hope it flies as good as it looks 👍😁
Real life pilot here and also rc enthusiast! What plane do you fly irl?
Awesome vids!
I'm not a Full Scale pilot, but I do own a full scale plane (that I can't legally fly - LOL). My dad is a IFR rated pilot, so that's how we got the pictures from the instrument panel in the Mooney you see on my channel. He belonged to a club, and this was our favorite plane to fly. That time has come and gone, now I'm just trying to win the lotto, so I can fly real stuff at some point - LOL :)
Beautiful Immelmans.
Thank you!!!
Great review as always,film crew is the best,lol.Fedex just got me also,delivered my spare prop and battery checker on Saturday for my new Night X and forgot to deliver the plane,now I won't get that until tomorrow,lol.P51 is nice but please do a vid on the new Night X,thanks bud
That sucks! Did he ditch in your yard and leave a few big ruts in still immature grass??? Mine did :) LOL - They made it right to us, only took about 2 days...I was actually really impressed!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I would have accepted ruts if I got the plane,lol
Love this so much
Question on this Mustang. There is something plugged into the bind port and it's not a bind plug. When I bind this aircraft it binds to my transmitter and stuff moves. If I unplug the aircraft and plug it in again it is in bind mode again. Do I need to remove what is in the bind plug slot on the receiver bind port? Thanks!
I haven't unraveled the wires yet to see what it is. Need sleep. Going to bed.
I have had this happen on a few occasions, only on my LemonRx Receivers, where you were supposed to use the BIND port for the 7th channel. It would only happen with certain RETRACTS, but on this P-51 1.5m, I can't recall anything being plugged into the BIND/PROG plug, but if you added something, you'll want to swap that thing, with another servo, and see if it'll start up without entering BIND mode. If this fixes it, then see if you can make it a permanent swap. If you DID add something to power LED's for example, make sure you're ONLY landing wires on CENTER (Positive WIRE) and GROUND (Black Wire or Brown WIRE) so as not to create a condition that could lead to entering Bind mode.
This is also a bit sketchy. If you find that this doesn't help, you need to hit up HH tech support and let them know what's up, and see if they have some ideas.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian. What is in there was already there. I need to figure out what it is. Maybe doesn't belong there. It looks like a Y harness. I've had this plane in the box since Jan 2020. Just did not have time due to covid. The manual does mention something about an auxiliary BEC and have to remove it from the bind port if you decide to use the bind plug.
Note: When using the auxiliary BEC from an ESC installed in the bind port of the receiver, unplug it to use bind plug
@@BrianPhillipsRC OK the Y connector going into the bind port is a BEC and Auxiliary BEC. The Auxiliary BEC was pulled out. Now it BINDs. :) And if you don't plug it in the right pole to pole that does cause the aircraft to go into bind mode every time you turn it on. Had to remove it and put bind plug in again and bind it. Then plug the Aux BEC in correctly.
Nice plane for sure. The strut covers are another story though. Breaking frequently is an ongoing issue. Providing an extra set in some that are shipped isn’t the resolution, unfortunately, and the actual mounts are not available as a part. Between the strut covers issue and the mounts being unavailable as a part for consumers makes things tough for the customers. The toothpick idea is nice and may work! I think that for $500, the plane shouldn’t have the issue and the customer shouldn’t be left to figure out the fix. The tires are nice but way too hard which causes problems when landing on a warbird that’s inherently more touchy on landing anyway. Softer tire would help in this area.
As always, super video and helpful as well. Hopefully HH will come across with a better design in both the tire and strut covers areas .
Totally agreed! At the $500 price point, I too expect near perfection ;) Soft tires would be a nice addition to the WHOLE of the HH lineup. I've had some el-cheapo Chinese planes with very soft and beautiful tires, so I'm not sure why these are not a standard feature on the HH planes????? Maybe getting those scale looks requires a stiffer foam?
@@BrianPhillipsRC ..... Hey Brian, I have always found you, your wife with her camera work, and the videos and their content to be great. There’s one issue, brother..... you fly everything so well put can make the hard wheels on the Mustang seem like nothing. I also really like that in this particular video you left the scene in where the Mustang coasted into the ditch . You could have edited that out and created a perfect scene with a perfect landing. You didn’t and I appreciate that. Thanks for being real in the videos. You’re right, this plane is , to quote you, “gorgeous”. How many times did you say that word in the video? I’ll watch again and count, brother! You couldn’t be more right. Finally, have you ever hit those power lines across the road?
My best to you and “The Camera Crew”. I actually think I heard you say her name once!
Brian just started following. I have tons of questions on radio set up and mixing. Love the P51. Ordering mine soon. Also consider the Eflite Air Tractor. It’s a fun bird.
It will be mine soon ;) Can't wait!
Start asking, and I'll help how I can.
Brian Phillips first I setup the Safe select on my Air Tractor. Followed your steps. Used hear switch. Only thing is I can’t turn it off. Stays in safe mode all the time so I disabled it for now.
Played with mixing ailerons and rudder. What percentages should I set?
Another is can’t get the elevator to trim on center and ailerons are a tad out of adjustment.
Running a 3200 4s 50c in it. Waiting on my checker to come in(saw yours and bought one lol) Trying to set up radio to tell me voltage remaining in telemetry but I might not have right equipment. These are just a few. Thanks. Your videos are very informative
Brian, I ordered mine the first day of release and have been flying ever since, the outer gear doors are definitely an issue, very fragile under-sized pins, I would love for you to come up with a very durable solution to repair or modify the outer gear doors. I have probably gone through seven or eight sets that break in the air. I'm conscious they are fragile and do my best not to deploy whenever the plane is moving fast, just a little gust of wind will snap them off. You are very clever with coming up with modifications and fixes, so let's see what you come up with :-)
So, did you get the upgraded ones??? I assumed I killed mine on that "drift" landing.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I've ordered the doors where I can find them, some directly from Horizon Hobby and some from other online Horizon Hobby dealers, I just got 6 packs last week, nothing on any package says anything about being upgraded, do you still have the package the upgraded ones came in, if so what does it say, is it a different part number?
@@BrianPhillipsRC Unfortunately the drift landings are very common with this bird, not so much with my FMS 1450 P-51D, many pilots have the same problem and also experience landing bounce, the trunnions are also brittle and fragile, made of cast metal, another weak spot. I believe the big prop adds some ground-effect adding to it being tricky to land. The hard tires add to the bounce, these are just some items for future modification by the factory. This P-51 is all new and there will be some things to improve, I would still highly recommend, what an awesome airplane :-)
