Brian, thank for this video man! I got mine two weeks ago and I’ve kept it on the table half finished because the manual is horrible!! THANK YOU for the detail and going over the build. As far as the prop, you helped me so much! I had no idea with the bad instructions and extra screws, but’s, etc. - I think you may be a tad bit off with the way you put the prop together though! If you look closely, the washers are different widths. What I did on mine was: 1. Thin Nut, then THIN washer. (This keeps the gap smaller) - then Prop. 2. Then thicker washer, then that one-off/weird nut, followed by one of the remaining 3 normal nuts. Thanks again man
I will take your word for it :) We tried three configurations, if I recall, before getting it to even fit reasonably. Chinese directions are bad, like usual....you wouldn't believe how horrible the directions are on our new 54" drum mower...video series soon to be released, FYI...but needless to say, it was a multi-hour endeavor, with 2 steps in the manual... Step 1) Unpack the pieces (then it shows the pieces on a crappy picture) Step 2) Assemble the pieces and then install the skirt. YEP, that's it...and this thing could EASILY kill you!!! Incredible, right?!??!?!
Brian Phillips haha! You rock my friend! Maybe there’s some American business opportunity there somewhere for making solid instructions. Hey keep up the good work with your channel you (and your “camera crew” ;) reach more lives than you probably know!
@@BrianPhillipsRC hello brian... happy new years, in reaching out to you because I. trying to purchase the p51D volantex mustang 750mm red tail, all vendors are out of stock.even banggood..do you know any other vendor that I can purchase from , please??
Your a lucky man to have such a good wife to film all this hobby stuff your doing. Kudos to your wife for putting up with filming hours for you.You should treat her to something for helping you like she does. My girlfriend would never do what your wife does. What a good woman. Your a lucky man.
Thank you for watching! I'm lucky that my wife is so supportive of my hobby!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ¡Gracias por ver! ¡¡¡Tengo suerte de que mi esposa apoye tanto mi hobby !!!
I bought the RTF version on Ebay last week for $119. It does seem a bit underpowered on 2S but otherwise flies well. You are right, you do have to fly it. I'm very new to RC and did 4 flights today with zero crashes. The stabilization system works great and I was actually able to fly it in "expert" mode for a bit without freaking out. All in all I'm pleased with this airplane.
@@BrianPhillipsRC My flying field is fairly tall grass, so all landings were belly landings. Going from trainer type planes to this one is a big change. This thing will definitely stall without power.
@@txdave2 I wan't that same bird. Started 7 years ago with a heavely underpowered mustang wich tipstalled and crashed.. Bought a few high winged trainers back then but the gyros of today make it so much easier.. ;)
Flown by Tuskegee Airman Roscoe Brown so yup,it’s a REAL thing...cheers from the UK,I’m taking my mini mustang out at the weekend,but I’ll have to get this now too...it’d be rude not to...
Ha Ha my natural instinct is to cram and ram my worry is that the servo wires will foul the actual servos. In the end I chose an MX3 evo gyro married to a Flysky receiver with foreshortened servo wires, we will see if I am successful - will let you know as I am breaking new ground with this. I thank you for always responding to me, you and your camera crew are really nice people.
Thanks Brian, and we do wish you luck! REMEMBER, this plane likes to fly pretty fast, so don't try to slow down when landing, just fly her into the ground and then chop the throttle...I know, easier said than done, but if you can pull this off, you'll enjoy this plane (and it's crappy landing gear attachment points) for many flights ;) Good luck Brian!
Great and thorough video. I looove Volantex , I have the 765-2 super cub and it is very well built for the money. I also love that it has an aux switch and an open spot on the receiver. Volantex also gets " The included screwdriver award' ! Wish they would walk down the hallway to XK office and nab the X8 controller for their planes. Been down this road when Nate and Abby reviewed this one, I want it more than a hog wants slop but Banggood is smoking rock with their 88$ shipping. It says at the top of the screen that orders over 45$ ship free but then can't shake the shipping when trying to order. Fix that Brian!!
Brian, dude, I'm sorry. Wanted this plane more than a fox wants into the hen house, but the shipping man, the shipping. So I looked around and found it on the 'bay for 130 shipped. Sorry Holmes. Another shout out to Volantex, my dog broke a stick off of the controller for my 765-2 cub and the controller for the p51 worked! Wich ever plane I power up will work with the one controller! Man I love Volantex! Maybe I'm easily impressed.
I don't blame you GlockPointer...shipping at Banggood for this item is tough... My contact said they were working on getting a container shipment to US Warehouse, but who knows how quick this will happen :(
Hello, How are you and your family? I hope all is well and good. That red tail mustang is a awesome plane for it's size and affordable. Thank you for your video and always great filming camera crew aka Mrs.Megan. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family
Hi from Germany! Thanks for uploading all your videos! Very entertaining and some useful information!I have bought the rtf Version and received it very quick from Czech Republik. First impression was nice, but a closer look showed some quality issues: Lower foam hing of the rudder was cracked, as I could see in buyers comments on banggood. Not nice, but no problem, as the rear wheel mount holds everything in place. As I am a belly lander, I have cut of the rear wheel (plane looks much nicer!) and i dont use the landing gear, which cracks often enough. A bigger downside was, that the right aileron was bent on the inner side, close, where the linkage is mounted. the foam also was very soft. I suppose, that the chinese wanted to break free the linkage of the aileron, which was blocked by excess glue. So they have damaged the aileron. I could fix that by bending the foam back and harden the surface by adding CA glue. On the maiden flight, i noticed, that plane was turning right. Back home, I inspected the linkage of the aileron and had to correct it . On the second flight, I immediately crashed after launching, as by mistake, I have reversed aileron action. Supposingly I have held the aileron stick too long on one side during pre flight surface control. I didnt notice the aileron was reverse and the gyro automatically added aileron to the wrong side. Result was broken prop, spinner and the fuselage nose a bit compressed. then i used the spare prop and the drag to the right side was still there. again i took off the wing and noticed, that the receiver board was not level on the adhesive pad. So i suppose, that this was , why the gyro made auto corrections, that resulted in the slight right turns. I have put the receiver in place, but as i am waiting for 2 blade props and nylon spinners, i didnt have other flights.I have noticed, that the Volantex Mustang is identical with the Ares Mustang, that you have reviewed years ago. Replacement Props and Spinners are available , as well as the plastic cowling for a small price. Volantex doesnt provide anything, except the 4 blades . So in comparison to my eachine mini Mustang and the Mini Corsair, I am quite disppointed by the quality of the Volantex Mustang
Thank you ollibolly! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. This plane is not the best rendition of P-51, but it's a fun plane, and can be made to be pretty cool with flaps, of course :)
Haha Brian i wish it were dedication. It’s a bad back. But the little folding chair for anyone who likes to relax i.e. lazy!! Oh yeah you got the hooked part right bud. It’s a lot of fun. Watched your video on enabling a switch for SAFE. Looking forward to trying that. I had tried before but I was missing the last step of assigning a channel. Hey man you shouldn’t have a problem locating Dan at HH, every question I asked about orders, he has answered it. When I told him about your videos and all I learned, he acted a little shamed. He was like “you know you can ask us any question.” But really no need.....it’s a lot easier to just watch you.
I used to play frisbe golf and the ones who brought chairs used to clog up the course, since we would play fairly quickly...but I can say, flying form a seated position, in my experience, is a bit harder - you must be quite the natural :) Nice! Thanks
Thank you so much for the video. Only thing different with mine was that the China people decided to have the ESC cable backwards when plugging into the Receiver. Crazy haha. You helped me a ton though setup my first EDF! Now onto flying it. Thanks again.
Brian dude!Thats not a bad looking mustang a little bigger than the last one.They are getting close to 1100mm.Still haven’t got my beaver should be this week 👍
This vid hlped me figure the receiver wiring out thx !! Also good to see y'all seem to still have that fire between u,.. playing while the kids are out ;)
Yeah, we still enjoy each other, but the kids were definitely not "out"....they were in the basement playing. We typically have them play downstairs while we're filming, but our new house isn't quite as good at blocking the "basement" noises ;) When we finish the basement we'll have to put lots of insulation in the ceiling to keep the noise down - but that's not going to happen for a while.
I really needed this version of the manual (your video). I just got mine in the mail today, but my first one was the little 400mm, so i cant really follow the vague instructions. Also, great three-point landing, and great video, although I'm very late.
Nice! I love this shirt. It's just the one I wear, because I don't have to worry about ti! This one came as a freebee from one of our suppliers, and I've since then been trying to get a few more.
Really like the idea of showing the planes fly first.........then the unboxing and assembly. It really grabs your attention right from the start. Any chance your wife might fly some planes? So many women today are getting into RC flying and real aircraft........as a flight instructor for over 40 years, women can fly the hell out of airplanes. In fact they make better students (always prepared)! Enjoying your postings. Regards, Jimp
We've been doing that for a while now, flight first, and I think it's good for audience retention. When someone wants to see the whole thing, they can just sit back and watch, but I know that some like the "surprise"....but that's kinda bogus anyway, since you'd have to be clicking on the thumbnail to choose to watch it...unless you get notifications, and blindly watch, like a good subscriber would do - LOL ;) As for Megan flying...she's just not interested. I try to strong arm her into it on the "easiest" to fly, but she can't drive an RC car around the room, so it's just not her thing. She does, however, make a great "camera crew", and has so much better than either of us expected! She also deals with the huge fluctuations in our family schedules. This is the hardest part to show in the videos, since we don't want the videos to "show" this part of the sacrifices of making all these videos. She and I have to get the house ready to film. Many times, she'll have to rush to clean up so that when I get home from a 10+ hours work day, we can film. The kids go down in our basement, where they admittedly, don't have it too bad, but the mess befalls us when we enter the dungeon...again, "Camera Crew" feels the brunt of this effort. The 4 kids are accustom to starting their day late, and ending it late too. This is normal for us, but most people think we're nuts (which we are)...but when you want to make something happen, you have to just do it...which is what I'm good at, and Megan helps to facilitate this. When we decided for her to stay at home with the kids (she had been a teacher by trade) that was part of our trade off. She'll help me to achieve my dreams, and I'll help her reach hers. We make a good team, but without her help, I don't know how I could do it!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes, I started instructing in the 1970s and stayed with it even when I had a real job. I worked with a lot of women because of the AOPA “pinch hitter” course given over for so many years all around the country. They can be taught to land an airplane in a weekend. It is usually their own plane and enables them to land safely should the pilot become incapacitated. I finally retired and got into RC and I find your reviews so helpful. Regards from Kentucky Jimp As the airline guys say, “keep the blue side up”!
Hello..from. U.S.M.C..THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THIS P-51..AND I THANK YOUR CAMERA WIFE..AS WELL..IN FACT..THIS IS WHY I JUST SUBSCRIBED..TO YOU CHANNEL..AND AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEO YOU SHOULD HAVE YOU AND YOUR WIFE END THE VIDEO TOGETHER..THAT WOULD BE NICE..SO THANKS AGAIN..BECAUSE I NEEDED TO SEE THIS BEFOR I ORDER THIS ..MY FIRST RC AIRCRAFT...A MOVE UP..FROM RC TANKS..SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE..😊👍👍👍👍. PS..how does a chicken..get up in a tree..that is just to funny....😆😆😆.. Just elevate the chicken Coupe..above the snow level Maby that will work..
Thanks for watching Emmett! As for a chicken, when they're smaller, and a bit skinnier than you might imagine, they fly just like every other bird, but they do a lot of walking too...these chickens (Game Chickens) are a little more "wild" and they will fly up in a tree and roost for the evening, if we'd not already trained them to come in for the evening. Unfortunately, they are all dead now :( They didn't hold up as good against a pesky fox that was very hungry.
@@BrianPhillipsRC wow .. Now. I have a project for you that I would like to see.. And that is with tha VOLANTEX 768-1 P-51D MUSTANG..WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE..TO CONVERT THE FIXT LANDING GEAR..TO RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR..they don't have to retract into the wings..just retract and lay against the bottom of the wings..???. Will be waiting for your response. My good friends.. ps..I don't think the weight would be any different from the fixed gear ..
Outstandingly Informative, as always, with perfect cinematic camera work. I want this plane but I’m going to stop buying rtf planes and pick up the DX6 next. I’m definitely hooked so I might as well take another baby step toward eventually demanding my own personal runway in the front yard 🤣 Thanks y’all.
Keep this in mind when purchasing a DX6... You will WANT/NEED at least the DX8 for many of the new BNF models that are equipped with SAFE Select. Just a friendly word of warning - I don't want you to waste a lot of money, just to have to "re-buy" 2 additional channels in a few months ;) BUT, whatever you decide - good luck :)
I'm so glad you're taking this advice. It is a lot more money, but you'll thank me, unless you decide to quit flying RC - but we both know isn't gonna happen ;)
Brian Phillips well, I still have the DX8 in my cart at Amazon, as I was waiting for the smoke to clear after a “did you really need 2 new planes in one week” lecture from the wife. I’ll put it off a month or so. In the meantime, I stumbled into a package deal consisting of a never flown sport cub s with a DX6 (used once) for $130. I couldn’t resist. I’m positive the wife will be happy and completely supportive. :-/

I Just have flown it and it was such an amazing experience(it was my first rc flight, hopefully i didnt crashed and did a pretty good landing), but the flight time was only 5 minutes and want to make it longer but i dont know which battery to choose, which one won't be too Big and too heavy, can you help me??
I agree. This one is my worst p-51, and I've had a LOT of them. BUT this plane is SUPER popular, and I'm afraid it's making a lot of "one and done" pilots ;(
The landing gear has a very vulnerable fixing point - we left it off and we propose to simply hand launched, once I have fitted a Gyro (which I like to fit to smaller planes). There is also so much confusion as to what battery is correct with only a 10amp ESC I think only a 2 cell will be correct?
Bonjour très belle vidéo merci !!!! J ai une question svp ,,, es qu'il est possible de mettre une batterie lipo de 2200 mah et de 50 c dans un P51 mustang de 1200 mm.... merci d, avance pour votre réponse. ... Steph ..
@@BrianPhillipsRC Merci pour votre réponse. ..... Quand vous dites taille c les dimensions de la batterie ???? Ou vous parlez des 50 c ????? ... Stéphane . ...
Good luck if you do. This one is pretty tough to fly, compared to the other P-51's I've reviewed. It's definitely flies okay, but you have to land it FAST!
The real question I have is can one actually land this plane on a smooth runaway and not bounce/tip over(control crash)? I know onl the smaller version that is mission impossible, but with that breakaway prop, you can get away with it a lot! but this might damage the prop/motor so I like to know/see some landing! thx
Love the P51 was going to get one, price wise not to bad $218NZD approx ($141USD) reasonableish..But then I saw the shipping which totally turned me off $224NZD approx ($145USD)..That is just plain silly, I could buy probably about 2 to 3 planes off someone else for that price..
You would have to do surgery to get her below 250g, VERY regrettably. This plane is SO close, but keep in mind your lipo will put you way over anyway ;( That being said, this is one of the millions of reasons that the FAA needs to get out of the model RC arena. What a WASTE of Federal money!
This is probably my lest favorite and worst flying P-51 I've reviewed. It does fly, and it can be made to fly okay, but it's never going to be great. I know there's a spot for this in the market because of it's SIZE and Ready to Fly, making it quite a good value, but it's also the worst flying P-51 I've covered, and it's also not especially durable. I'd encourage you to check out these in stead... This one - amzn.to/2uuy7ZT / bit.ly/2XrfKRR (Ready to Fly) Smaller and really nice for what it is - bit.ly/2JQDtDj (Ready to Fly) Bigger, at 1.2m wingspan, and WAY nicer for an intermediate beginner - bit.ly/30hC9ku (Bind and Fly) Quite a bit bigger, at 1.5m for an intermediate pilot - bit.ly/2CB6l22 (Bind and Fly) ...hope I'm not bursting your bubble here ;)
Awesome video!!🔥🔥 I’m seriously considering buying this plane, I’m just waiting for Banggood to start shipping again. Btw, I have that exact same knife😂
Brian can you take a photo of the Gyro-- mine came as a PNP no Gyro and the NX3 Giro I have purchased is difficult to fit in the confined space that there is in this plane. Cable management is really difficult too
Just ram it in there, and make it work...seeing the way they did it won't help. It's a strange multi-purpose brick, and I don't have a way to share pics easy here. Sometimes you just gotta cram and ram, and hope for the best. If the wires reach, you'll be fine, but don't bind your servos.
That funky rudder glitch... it is part of the xpilot firmware (on the 'larger' models, not the mini-stuff). I have the standalone ax601 gyro board and this 750mm p51, does the same thing for both. I also have the little sport cub, and it does not do it. I don't know why it does it, it's a little irritating b/c it seems like you have to over-center the rudder to get it to go back to center after using it. You get used to it, like anything else I guess. Got the P51 on banggood when it was a special for 109.xx about a week ago and $9 or $10 shipped w/in the US. Keep watching their site for such specials folks.. the crazy shipping charges suck, but every so often they have a special where they (apparently?) will have a small stock of items already in the US distributor warehouse and can then ship very cheaply w/in the US. I can't speak to how other countries may be set up of course. Often, the page for the item will have the default of 'CN' selected as the shipping source. Check to see if 'US' is not also available... that's how I found the deal I got.
Thanks for the heads up on that rudder "creep"...not the most promising looking response from any control surface, but seems like a flight controller issue, and for sure the little P-51 doesn't do it. I think part of the crazy high shipping charges has to do with the Chinese New Year. There's a lot of business that shuts down for the whole celebration...similar to Christmas here. Yes :)
@@theoztreecrasher2647 There's a good video or two on youtube about how to wire the ax601 up. One of them (older gentleman who uses a couple of servos sitting on his workbench instead of a plane) shows how to kind of 'bypass' the rudder circuit if the hitch-effect it has bothers you. IIRC, you use a servo Y cable to split the rudder signal between your RX and the gyro.. so that the rudder servo gets fed directly off the RX (and the 2nd leg of the Y goes to the gyro). The idea being.. the ax601 kind of expects there to be a rudder signal and may not 'enable' itself if it's missing. The gyro doesn't care if nothing is hooked up to the output side (on the gyro board itself), but it wants to see stuff on the input/signal side. That's what I remember, but find the vid to be sure. Also, it's not obvious (until you watch that same vid) that the connections to the gyro from your RX are just the signal wires .. so single-wires-per-control-input.. the ribbon cable it comes with can be peeled apart to get separate wires for this use. Finally, don't let my characterization of 'rudder-glitch' put you off.. the gyro works fine as a gyro-stabilizer. You'll adjust to this behavior pretty quick... it's just a thing you need to be mindful of.
Hi where did you get this I bought my first one 750 mm mustang P-51 just like yours from being good but it came without the receiver/controller and also no battery
Hi Brian thank you for the review and standing out in the cold 🥶 camera crew too ...amazed by the quality of this plane could a spectrum receiver be put into this maybe would like to know..keep warm best wishes Chris
Sure, you could put a DSMX Rx, like a Lemon-Rx or a Redcon DSMX (links to both in Description)... You'd have to maybe take the CASE off either pick, so they fit into that spot on the top of the wing, that goes into the fuse...it's a tight spot when it gets closed in!!!
Hi Brian I’m a 42year old ‘child!’ from UK I’ve been flying the xk edge a430 while the world is self isolating and after seeing loads of your videos (totally my favourite guy btw ... and your camera crew) I think I’m competent in flying the a430 and have now ordered this mustang. My question is I really want to work my way up to the A10 you reviewed what would you recommend for follow on plane after this mustang? Like I say I’m 42 year old child and fully committed to financially keeping it that way 🤣 oh and eflite spitfire as well!!! Anyway love your reviews would appreciate any suggestions you have. Phil
Oh, what a loaded question... Being that I'm your "favorite guy" I can't go and give you bad advice ;) Do you have a Spektrum radio? If no, here's where I 'd start... Apprentice 1.5m RTF - bit.ly/2yusxZi ...the reason I'd start here, is that you can fly it, have a blast, and learn with similar radio to what you'll be using eventually with the A-10. You'll be upgrading from the included radio that comes with the Apprentice, but you can use the DXe for a few simpler planes. After you're done using SAFE, you could easily handle the A-10, but it's expensive to make the jump from Apprentice to A-10...I will help you figure out what you need, but it will be pricey!!!
Fab! Yes I actually have a spectrum dx6e so I’m guessing this will just be enough for that kinda plane with retracts and flaps. I will check out your link thanks 😊
How does this compare to eachine 400mm warbirds? Is this worth the extra money. I have flown a lot of rc stuff but i am new to planes and I have flown only 2 ch airplanes and i want to upgrade now. I am really good at flying and pick up everything really fast without any bad crashes so far. So I am just wondering is this thing worth it.
I like it LESS. I would consider this plane to be one of the less good flying planes that we've reviewed, but no matter what I try to tell people about it, they buy one anyway... It's not BAD flying, it's just hard to land, and has it's issues. As for the 400mm warbird series...WAY better, and super fun!

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. I think i know what I will buy now. Only thing that worries me is life of the brushed motor but i can replace it no problem. I usually repair a lot of stuff. Thanks again.
Great demo as usual and great camera work also lady he he .. I wanted to buy it but listen to this. $188.00 dollars canadian plus any tax, plus $129.00 shipping. Sent banggood a note probably won't do any good. They are getting too dang greedy. Too bad. Happy Flying
Dude check Amazon,.. i got mine for $140 & $2shipping. it took 5 days to get her,. they stated arrival 11 days, so came pretty quick. Although some were priced at $190 if u look around the site, most of the time you'll find a better deal. Banggood is becoming greedy as fuk!!! They wanted $38 to ship me a $7 prop then take 3 months to get here,aw hell no! i refuse to do that. If everybody else would also decline, after bout a month or two those prices would go bak to normal.. Good Luck on ur hunt..
Hello I have a question. I want to buy this plane first to start. I have never flown an rc plane. Please tell me if it is good for learning at the beginning or choose something smaller and cheaper at the beginning. I would like to ask for an honest answer and opinions about this plane. I will be very grateful. Greetings :)
NOOOOOO don't do it! There's better choices....this plane is actually pretty hard to fly (well...to LAND). I want to help you out, and there are BETTER P-51's if you are a first time RC pilot. Here's one suggestion. I know it's kinda lame compared to a bigger P-51, but to be frank, I wouldn't recommend the BIGGER ones yet...you'll end up crashing it and being what we call a "one and done" - new pilot buys one plane and quits due to a terrible experience - You may be included to think you'll be the exception to this rule, and if you are I congratulate you, but unfortunately, you won't, and neither was I - LOL - you CAN do it, but I highly suggest starting with something a BIT more "guarantee" to give you a good experience.

thank you very much for describing and helping. these are the price of a hint for me. Let me start with something less about dancing. because it can really jump so that it will crash and the fun is over and I would not want to be discouraged immediately. I will review all your suggestions and then write to I chose and I will ask for help :) thank you again
@@BrianPhillipsRC but I think I will choose this Eachine Mini Mustang P-51D 761-5 EPP 400mm first. what will you tell me about it or advise me? buy two additional larger capacity batteries? it is fun to control and is tough do you have to be careful?
It's been so long since I touched that plane, I can't honestly say. I thought there was a toggle switch on the radio, but if not, you can also move the linkage on the control horns so they're on the other side, if it's running backward, BUT you need to make sure the direction of travel from your sticks is the same as the direction of CORRECTION from the stabilizer / auto-leveling, otherwise you're plane will try to flip over all the time.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hey Brian, it was as easy as pointing the control stick to the proper direction and it resets after a couple seconds that's how I got it out of wack, 😂
Hi Brian, it's me again, lol hope you have'n a good day, great video, can i bind my spektrum dx6e radio to Volantex P-51D 750mm or would i have to change the receiver or could i use the aux port for a receiver like on the OMPHobby S720?
You need a WHOLE new receiver, but then you can use whatever you'd like... Here's a few to choose from... Rx AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c AR637T bit.ly/3pW3u86 AR8360T bit.ly/3dKg4n6 AR6610T bit.ly/33SYkA0 Lem 7Ch DSMXwStab amzn.to/2GTlQze / ebay.to/2XNteGf
@@BrianPhillipsRC Wow thanks for the fast response, I still have the receiver that came with the dx6e, if it will fit i'll try that, keep up the good work. haha i just ordered the umx a-10 oh boy cant hardly wait :D
Really enjoyed the video. Bought this plane and absolutely love flying this beauty! I noticed you mentioned the extra channel for flaps. I’m kinda new to the sport and would like to see a video of how to integrate the flaps on this plane!
I have a playlist link that shows all sorts of plane. I worked with my buddy Esteban, to add flaps to his (SUPER SIMILAR) plane, but different Transmitter and Receiver. You might want to check it out. P.S. I make playlists, so whenever I do a mod, that might be helpful to others, I have all the videos for a particular plane there. As for using that channel, grab a servo and plug it into that channel. You will see it move when you flip that switch. Make sure the pins are lined up correctly... Darkest is GND / Red is DCV+ / Lightest is Siginal Black / Red / White (Futaba) Brown / Red / Yellow (Hextronics) Once you get this part done, you can play with where to put the servo. Then the fun part...making small flaps, then a linkage to make the flaps attach to the servo linkage. I have a bunch of flaps mod videos. I think you'd enjoy watching them. I've literally spend hundreds (if not thousands) of hours on this stuff, so you can learn what you need from almost any mod series. Let me know when you have more questions, and I'll try to help.
Brian Phillips I really appreciate your feedback and checked out a few of your videos of mods for flaps. I noticed that most videos the ailerons are usually further out toward the wing tips, giving you a larger or wider area to utilize for your flaps. Would I need to extend the ailerons on this plane or would the inner part of the wing have enough surface area for effective flaps? Again really love your channel and all your support!
Inboard flaps don't need to be HUGE, but HUGE is more fun ;) To answer your question, no, just leave the ailerons where and how they are, and play with the small space you have on this plane. When you see the impact, you will be amazed!!!
Not sure, but have heard of others binding to another open tx protocol, but I never did. Please keep in mind, this is one of the harder to fly P-51's we've ever had, so if you DON'T find success with it, DON'T FEEL BAD!!! Here's a better option (1.2m OR UMX - both excellent!) bprc.me/P51
I absolutely love the visible cockpit, but when I click on the link it takes me to the banggood site where it shows a colored in cockpit. I won’t be interested if the cockpit is not visible, Can someone clarify please
What about a better plane in general? This is a pretty tough plane to fly.... P51 bit.ly/3ohT4zT (Horizon Hobby - WAY better option) P51 bit.ly/3QpTmRi | shrsl.com/3lrfi (FMS - great option too!) P51 bit.ly/3bgcH8l (Arrows - similarly BETTER option) BUT you'll need to setup the plane like we do in our videos, so when you find the one you like, check out our playlists, or head over to www.brianphillipsrc.com and you can search there too... This 750mm P-51 is one of the worst we've reviewed over the years of doing this channel, but it DOES fly If you need a quick fix, and budget is a concern, what about the little 400mm series?

Mine wobbles in flight. I just got it and put it together . Do you have an ideas why it would do that? I appreciate any suggestions. The rudder servo reans to have a lull in-between center and max as well. Lie it's catching on something but I checked everything and the servo arm path is clear.
Hi, I just got the same model plane as yours. But why it’s the throttle not working? Everything works fine except the throttle. When I put the throttle stick up just nothing happened.
Brian Phillips I put the throttle to 100% and then back down to 0% and it’s seems ARM. but the throttle still doesn’t work. I have tried put that left corner switch in 3 different position and the throttle still not working. Everything else is working just fine. Can I send a video to show you? Thx
So I have this plane, and get this, my ailerons only move with my elevator. (So right stick up and down) but nothing side to side. Ive messed around, even tried plugging it into all the spots and still nothing. Any advice?
We kinda had that happen too. Can you watch right before I take off again...and see what I did. It's been a long time...so might have to re-watch. Did you're have the Y-Splitter connecting the elevator and ailerons by accident???
Good question. I'd be lying if I said I knew, because I don't. There are others who have tried and succeed, but don't think we got our OpenTX Jumper T8SG to work.
Brian I followed your video to the T. I need help though. Mine just will not take off. Goes 2 feet never taking off and the nose sucks right to the ground. If I try to hand launch it...same thing. Plummets to the ground nose dive. Seems like the cg is way off. I have the battery mounted same as you right in the slot. Thoughts? I already destroyed 2 props from it nose diving while take off and the prop cover is destroyed too. Iam pretty disappointed and frustrated at this point. My other jets and planes take off as smoothly as yours. Did I get a defective one or something?
I wonder if you have the CG too far forward? Can you make sure you have the CG right - sounds like you might have issues there. Can you try gliding it into tall grass? If you do, please make sure your battery is in and you can use the controller to get into the throttle if she does well! Good luck Jeff! this plane needs SPEED!!! So don't be shy with your chuck....get it flying! Throw it HARD.
Thanks Brian. So I have noticed some issues with mine. 1.) Tried repositioning the landing gear to move Cg a bit further back. I can't move the battery. It as you know only has the one spot for it to go. 2.) My flaps are not centering back to full level when testing initial startup. No matter what they have about a 5 degree up/down at center. I tried quickly turning the threaded rods. Could it be more an issue with the servo/esc/gyro center calibration position? Tried resetting gyro and turning on and off receiver several times...still aligns up where flaps ailerons are slightly up/down at center stick. Yours doesn't seem to be that way? I also noticed last night while charging the battery on my balance charger that it was heating up and started to swell?! Not good from my understanding of charging lipo batteries. So far EXHobby (whom I purchased from) has been communicating with me but there replies have been less than satisfactory. They are telling me I need to find a smooth paved or wood upward hill to take off from. They also are not taking any accountability towards sending me a new prop or safety nose cone from the damage sustained by this plane chewing up payment right from the first attempt at takeoff. They haven't addressed the battery issue yet either. So far, Iam not very impressed by this company or the possible lemon of a jet they sent me. Wished mine worked as well as yours. I had really high hopes man. Any pointers kindly appreciated. I know it only cost $150 which is cheap compared to other jets but not even getting it to take flight is just frustrating.
I would love to report it's the same, but not 100% sure, since I don't have the "BIG" 750mm Eachine....and I believe this protocol might be different than the "mini" sized planes.
Hello, so as my first flight took a bit of a nose dive, i was wondering if you have a recommended source for replacement propellers? I'm not having any luck finding a 6.7" 4 blade prop.
@@BrianPhillipsRC well think of me like an rc airplane savers thrift store if you ever need to "dispose" of any craft in the future! I will "relieve" you
Would you recommend this one or the Eachine - RTF Mini P-51 Mustang? I want to get back into flying planes after flying quad copters for ages. The planes I flew when I was a kid were not 4 channel and I want a good plane to relearn and improve on.
This one is a whole lot less forgiving than the smaller Eachine. This one is not a hard to fly plane, but it's kinda hard to land it without sustaining damage. Both fly really easy, but he small one is just so dang indestructible!
@@BrianPhillipsRCThank you for the quick reply. I'll probably be going with this one as the smaller one is not in stock so it won't get here in time for my upcoming flyday with my buddies. I have my old rc plane simulator to practice on so hopefully I won't need it to be indestructible.
Great! If you want an easier to fly plane, that's similar, have you on considered this one... Volantex Sport Cub 500 - amzn.to/36z22Or - Amazon / usa.banggood.com/custlink/vDDGQJlpQK - Banggood This plane is a blast, and very good for survivability.
i had the same problem figuring out how the spinner went on as the paint hid the seam .i knew it needed a backing plate and thought it was missing until i saw a video on the spinner.felt really stupid
After loosing my eachine mini i ordered one of these thanks to you and this video really helped me put it together thanks brian you made it easier. Any advice on the landing ? Like it alot other then the twitching and my landings have been kinda rough
To be totally honest, it's not super easy to land this plane for a variety of factors. First, it needs to fly pretty quick, or she'll stall nose down into the ground, soooo, you kinda have to hope for a stiff breeze down the runway OR "fly her into the ground" - kinda sounds obvious, but many times you're looking to stall the plane into a landing, but with the somewhat touchy elevator controls, you have to basically fly the plane on the runway, then chop the throttle. If you're not feeling it, just put her in the grass and salvage the plane. We had this same issue with another 750mm P-51 that Esteban had. We always had to GREEEEEEESE the landings, or face retribution from ripped off landing gear. The four bladed prop is also tough, with the propensity to nose over...then you're looking at dragging or breaking off one or two of the blades. I want to say there's some magic bullet, but there just isn't. I've flown a lot of P-51's, but this particular size has always kinda had this issue. Funny thing, the HH UMX P-51 I can easily fly it along the road on the mains :) Also, if you want it to be easier to land, use the AUXILIARY port and install flaps. You can make a very simple inboard "split flap" that can even be CLEAR, made out of a plastic pop bottle or similar. Just use some tape for a hinge, and one smaller 9 gram or less servo to actuate them. This will allow slower landings. Keep in mind, there will NOT be any elevator correction with flap deployment on this RTF transmitter, so you will need to ride the elevator to keep the nose up when flying her with flaps down. Hope this helps SOME.... Good luck Jared!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah thanks for the info maybe i should try my hand at flaps then because i just suck at gettin it down gracefully .lol Least its sounds like its not just me. Really appreciate all your help and experience it really helps us lightweights out . thanks for all your videos and all the time you must put in to make em. I know i learn alot from them
That might be corrected by some trim, but this P-51 is one of the hardest to LAND "beginner planes" we've ever flown, and I've flown her in 2 brands, and kinda hate them both ;( (keeping in mind, when we filmed this, there were FAR fewer good options, so might have ranked a bit higher...)
Are there any batteries where I can get more flight time out of it? Also, when in expert I see that the elevator seems to have less throw with it. Beginner and intermediate is fine but expert seems to have some issue. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I can't wait to take it up when parks open up again.
You will have a better visualization when you go to flying it, but as for longer flight times, I think they're plenty long for a RTF plane. If you want more, you can squeeze a slightly bigger pack, but it's gonna be harder to land...this plane doesn't handle weight well...also it'll make the plane nose heavy really quick so be careful how much you push the envelope :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the info, I didn't consider the weight factor. I do have some batteries coming in soon which are a little bigger. One review mentioned that the pilot got 7 minutes out of it (I'm assuming he was gunning it at full throttle.). But if the stock battery can last around 10 minutes or longer, I should find batteries similar to that, that way I won't compromise the weight.
Got this plane, mounted and everything seemed allright. However first flight with the gyro on, the plane was VERY shaky and it did wobble a lot (both in beginner and in intermediate) and had to land. No idea how to fix this :(
There isn't a simple way to fix it, other than changing the control horn setting on the ailerons...if it's shaking, then you can reduce the mechanical output and move the controls closer into the wing, at the Ailerons. Other than that, you're pretty much at the mercy of the stabilizer.
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes I figured it out. i contacted banggood and they will give me a partial refund. So I will just buy a new reciever and gyro. Thanks for your help
No I haven't. Are you saying the BIG one to the SMALL one? If so, YES, and it doesn't work...this was by ACCIDENT by my son. If you're meaning the 750mm P-51 to another 750mm P-51, I suspect they will work.
Hi Brian, Great video! I bought one of these recently and after setting it up, everything was fine except the throttle. It would cut out if i went above half way up on the throttle stick although it felt like full power was half way up. I think this is a calibration problem or something. Would you be able to tell me how to recalibrate it if this is the issue? or if there is a different issue with it. Thanks
Sounds like you have a bat battery possibly. Some of these planes have LVC Low Voltage Cutoff...but you might be right about calibrating the ESC. Typically, to calibrate an ESC, you would power up as usual, but you'll have the throttle stick at 100% (something you normally wouldn't do), then when the ESC starts beeping, you'd return the throttle stick to 0%. This would normally calibrate the ESC Throttle Range, but not sure if it will work on this RTF.
It was flying into a pretty stiff wind, but this plane isn't too fast. I've had a lot faster P-51's....but this plane flies nicely, and it's a very good value.
Sir just want to double check...when in the beginner mode...when i move the rudder stick to the left/right and let it go, the rudder stick back to the center but the rudder it self seems like not going back to the center. This only happens in the beginner mode. In intermediate and expert mode the rudder return to the center smoothly. Is it normal?i havent fly mine yet coz worry about this behavior. Please advise.tq sir
This rudder is WEIRD. It should go back to center, but I've not seen it do that on this plane...it sorta "creeps" back. This is "normal" but it shouldn't be ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank u sir i thought i got the defect plane. this is the biggest plane so far for me so a bit worried if it actually a defect and crash on the 1st flight.hehe
@@ifanana mine does the same thing, but in both Beginner and Intermediate mode. Very odd. I think it's an issue with the flight controller/receiver. I'm replacing that with a Lemon RX Stabilizer Plus receiver.
I would NEVER use this Rx if I had a choice...I'd 100% use something else, since you can... Do you have Spektrum Tx already? If not, this is what I would recommend... NX8 bit.ly/3f4JhZl + AR630 bit.ly/3lh5iqD OR AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c
Not sure, and don't want to burn her up just quite yet. I used 2S 850mAh ZOP packs and worked way better. Lot better feel on CG, and lots more flight time BUT...her landing gear are not well glued, so better GREASE the landings with a heavier pack, or you'll be fixing the delicate prop, only after taking off the even more delicate egg shell spinner :(
is that normal when mode is beginner the rudder is not straight? but when expert its straight just wonder if that normal i got my p51 today not yet test maybe on fri
Move the rudder stick on your Transmitter, and let it go...does it go to the left/right, then come back? It's kinda weird the way the rudder works in BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE mode...but in EXPERT mode, the surfaces should just "work" like normal.
Sorry!!!! Updated.... P51 Red Tail amzn.to/3q2vIjF (Amazon) / bit.ly/2XrfKRR (Banggood) This happens from time to time, and I'm so sorry for the wrong link!!! That was for the 400mm P-51....which is a fun plane, but definitely the wrong one! Thanks for the heads up!
Hi Brian, great channel u have! All needed information is in it. I want to buy one of those but I am not sure if I have enough space to fly it cause you're property is huge and hard to compare with mine. I got a space of 344 by 262 feet . Is it enough to fly this bird? Greets
Not this one, but you might be able to fly the MINI. This particular P-51 has gotta be the worst P-51 I've flown. I hate to have to keep saying this, but this P-51 is just OKAY...it's not BAD, but it's JUST Okay. It's hard to fly (land) when compared to most other P-51's I have, or have flow, and I've had quite a few, being the P-51 is very popular. Here's the MINI (400mm wingspan) Planes...

Thanks for the reply. I have seen all you're clips from the mini ones. I allready ordered the Eachine p 51 and the XK A160. Because I ordered the zop 850 mah battery's for the XK I easily can use them in the Volantex p 51. The reason I wanted to buy these one is because the weight is 277 grams and its bigger. The maximum weight here without getting a fly license is 285 grams. I'l give the Volantex a try I guess. Thanks for you're time. I appreciate it!
Brian, the sound when outside and away from the camera is muffled and wind noisy. Can you look into using a remote mike link to the camera. Otherwise a good build and flight. Pity your camera crew also has to get cold filming you.
I've heard this complaint before. We have been keeping an eye out for a better solution, but for now, this is what we can afford (time and money) so we will do our best with what we have. We appreciate you're endurance as we work through this issue.
Brian, thank for this video man! I got mine two weeks ago and I’ve kept it on the table half finished because the manual is horrible!! THANK YOU for the detail and going over the build. As far as the prop, you helped me so much! I had no idea with the bad instructions and extra screws, but’s, etc. - I think you may be a tad bit off with the way you put the prop together though! If you look closely, the washers are different widths. What I did on mine was: 1. Thin Nut, then THIN washer. (This keeps the gap smaller) - then Prop. 2. Then thicker washer, then that one-off/weird nut, followed by one of the remaining 3 normal nuts. Thanks again man
I will take your word for it :) We tried three configurations, if I recall, before getting it to even fit reasonably.
Chinese directions are bad, like usual....you wouldn't believe how horrible the directions are on our new 54" drum mower...video series soon to be released, FYI...but needless to say, it was a multi-hour endeavor, with 2 steps in the manual...
Step 1) Unpack the pieces (then it shows the pieces on a crappy picture)
Step 2) Assemble the pieces and then install the skirt.
YEP, that's it...and this thing could EASILY kill you!!! Incredible, right?!??!?!
Brian Phillips haha! You rock my friend! Maybe there’s some American business opportunity there somewhere for making solid instructions. Hey keep up the good work with your channel you (and your “camera crew” ;) reach more lives than you probably know!

I bought the RTF version on Ebay last week for $119. It does seem a bit underpowered on 2S but otherwise flies well. You are right, you do have to fly it. I'm very new to RC and did 4 flights today with zero crashes. The stabilization system works great and I was actually able to fly it in "expert" mode for a bit without freaking out. All in all I'm pleased with this airplane.
Awesome David!!! Did you have near heart attacks with each landing??? ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC My flying field is fairly tall grass, so all landings were belly landings. Going from trainer type planes to this one is a big change. This thing will definitely stall without power.
Get 3S lipo you'll be amazed.
@@Romin.777 I did get 3S batteries for this Mustang. Wow! What a dramatic difference. Love it!

im so excited to get mine this is my 1st plane
Cool! Good luck ECZ
Not a great 1st plane
Planes are not like drones.
Not good first plane
Bad choice.
Warbirds are easy to stall..
Get a Cub instead..
Not the greatest choice but happy flying anyways!
Flown by Tuskegee Airman Roscoe Brown so yup,it’s a REAL thing...cheers from the UK,I’m taking my mini mustang out at the weekend,but I’ll have to get this now too...it’d be rude not to...
If we ever get rid of this rain up north I will be doing the same. The mini p51 is an outstanding plane to fly, especially at such low price.
Thanks Joel!
Thank you Brian and camera crew, great job.
you're welcome G Bro!
Thanks so much for the vid. 1st plane- biting off more than I can chew. But excited to have it built now. Begin her mode here we come!
How'd that work for ya?
Hello Brian, mustang p51 My favorite Airplane,Great
It is a cool plane!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes😉😉😉😉🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Ha Ha my natural instinct is to cram and ram my worry is that the servo wires will foul the actual servos. In the end I chose an MX3 evo gyro married to a Flysky receiver with foreshortened servo wires, we will see if I am successful - will let you know as I am breaking new ground with this. I thank you for always responding to me, you and your camera crew are really nice people.
Thanks Brian, and we do wish you luck! REMEMBER, this plane likes to fly pretty fast, so don't try to slow down when landing, just fly her into the ground and then chop the throttle...I know, easier said than done, but if you can pull this off, you'll enjoy this plane (and it's crappy landing gear attachment points) for many flights ;)
Good luck Brian!
I like it. Very cool. Or B.P R.C. .makes it cool😎. Your enthusiasm is unquestionable. Thank you for making it fun from my family.
Great and thorough video. I looove Volantex , I have the 765-2 super cub and it is very well built for the money. I also love that it has an aux switch and an open spot on the receiver. Volantex also gets " The included screwdriver award' !
Wish they would walk down the hallway to XK office and nab the X8 controller for their planes.
Been down this road when Nate and Abby reviewed this one, I want it more than a hog wants slop but Banggood is smoking rock with their 88$ shipping. It says at the top of the screen that orders over 45$ ship free but then can't shake the shipping when trying to order.
Fix that Brian!!
I can ask for a coupon code, but everyone is on Chinese New Year, which is why it's like that, I think...
Brian, dude, I'm sorry. Wanted this plane more than a fox wants into the hen house, but the shipping man, the shipping.
So I looked around and found it on the 'bay for 130 shipped. Sorry Holmes.
Another shout out to Volantex, my dog broke a stick off of the controller for my 765-2 cub and the controller for the p51 worked! Wich ever plane I power up will work with the one controller!
Man I love Volantex!
Maybe I'm easily impressed.
I don't blame you GlockPointer...shipping at Banggood for this item is tough... My contact said they were working on getting a container shipment to US Warehouse, but who knows how quick this will happen :(
Hello, How are you and your family? I hope all is well and good. That red tail mustang is a awesome plane for it's size and affordable. Thank you for your video and always great filming camera crew aka Mrs.Megan. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family
Family is good, and glad you stopped by! Thanks ;)
Hi from Germany! Thanks for uploading all your videos! Very entertaining and some useful information!I have bought the rtf Version and received it very quick from Czech Republik. First impression was nice, but a closer look showed some quality issues: Lower foam hing of the rudder was cracked, as I could see in buyers comments on banggood. Not nice, but no problem, as the rear wheel mount holds everything in place. As I am a belly lander, I have cut of the rear wheel (plane looks much nicer!) and i dont use the landing gear, which cracks often enough. A bigger downside was, that the right aileron was bent on the inner side, close, where the linkage is mounted. the foam also was very soft. I suppose, that the chinese wanted to break free the linkage of the aileron, which was blocked by excess glue. So they have damaged the aileron. I could fix that by bending the foam back and harden the surface by adding CA glue. On the maiden flight, i noticed, that plane was turning right. Back home, I inspected the linkage of the aileron and had to correct it . On the second flight, I immediately crashed after launching, as by mistake, I have reversed aileron action. Supposingly I have held the aileron stick too long on one side during pre flight surface control. I didnt notice the aileron was reverse and the gyro automatically added aileron to the wrong side. Result was broken prop, spinner and the fuselage nose a bit compressed. then i used the spare prop and the drag to the right side was still there. again i took off the wing and noticed, that the receiver board was not level on the adhesive pad. So i suppose, that this was , why the gyro made auto corrections, that resulted in the slight right turns. I have put the receiver in place, but as i am waiting for 2 blade props and nylon spinners, i didnt have other flights.I have noticed, that the Volantex Mustang is identical with the Ares Mustang, that you have reviewed years ago. Replacement Props and Spinners are available , as well as the plastic cowling for a small price. Volantex doesnt provide anything, except the 4 blades . So in comparison to my eachine mini Mustang and the Mini Corsair, I am quite disppointed by the quality of the Volantex Mustang
Thank you ollibolly! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. This plane is not the best rendition of P-51, but it's a fun plane, and can be made to be pretty cool with flaps, of course :)
Hell Ya! Brian and crew, out in the snow.
yes, STILL...but sun is out now, and it's looking very nice. Now we just need 60 degrees for about 5 weeks - LOL
Got this too I keep two 400 and this in car I just throw em up where ever I am :) 👍👍
The little 400mm option is pretty good, but this 750mm option is much harder to fly, especially to land.
Haha Brian i wish it were dedication. It’s a bad back. But the little folding chair for anyone who likes to relax i.e. lazy!!
Oh yeah you got the hooked part right bud. It’s a lot of fun.
Watched your video on enabling a switch for SAFE. Looking forward to trying that. I had tried before but I was missing the last step of assigning a channel.
Hey man you shouldn’t have a problem locating Dan at HH, every question I asked about orders, he has answered it. When I told him about your videos and all I learned, he acted a little shamed. He was like “you know you can ask us any question.” But really no need.....it’s a lot easier to just watch you.
I used to play frisbe golf and the ones who brought chairs used to clog up the course, since we would play fairly quickly...but I can say, flying form a seated position, in my experience, is a bit harder - you must be quite the natural :)
Nice! Thanks
Good news! Mine has arrived
Glad to hear! Remember to fly her into a landing...she won't glide down without crashing about 10 feet from the ground. Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks!
Thank you so much for the video. Only thing different with mine was that the China people decided to have the ESC cable backwards when plugging into the Receiver. Crazy haha. You helped me a ton though setup my first EDF! Now onto flying it. Thanks again.
Great job on the video. It was so great i got one. Keep up the great work.
Do it; you'll LOVE it!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I wish mine was as good as yours mine is broken it doesn't fly or work at all and i cant return it what a bad day
Yes thank you!
I was thinking of buying this thank you for the review! Ill have to watch the rest of the video now!
NICE!!!! Thanks!
Brian dude!Thats not a bad looking mustang a little bigger than the last one.They are getting close to 1100mm.Still haven’t got my beaver should be this week 👍
Sure is!
This vid hlped me figure the receiver wiring out thx !!
Also good to see y'all seem to still have that fire between u,.. playing while the kids are out ;)
Yeah, we still enjoy each other, but the kids were definitely not "out"....they were in the basement playing. We typically have them play downstairs while we're filming, but our new house isn't quite as good at blocking the "basement" noises ;) When we finish the basement we'll have to put lots of insulation in the ceiling to keep the noise down - but that's not going to happen for a while.
I really needed this version of the manual (your video). I just got mine in the mail today, but my first one was the little 400mm, so i cant really follow the vague instructions. Also, great three-point landing, and great video, although I'm very late.
As someone new to rc planes I think I might get one of these.
Again Great job! it makes the DC voltage work as simulated 3 phase ac voltage.
yes...like a little VFD ;), only running DC source voltage!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I Rep HVAC.. and drive a similar truck and similar shirts..LOL
Nice! I love this shirt. It's just the one I wear, because I don't have to worry about ti! This one came as a freebee from one of our suppliers, and I've since then been trying to get a few more.
Thankful
You're welcome Ricardo
Really like the idea of showing the planes fly first.........then the unboxing and assembly. It really grabs your attention right from the start. Any chance your wife might fly some planes? So many women today are getting into RC flying and real aircraft........as a flight instructor for over 40 years, women can fly the hell out of airplanes. In fact they make better students (always prepared)! Enjoying your postings. Regards, Jimp
We've been doing that for a while now, flight first, and I think it's good for audience retention. When someone wants to see the whole thing, they can just sit back and watch, but I know that some like the "surprise"....but that's kinda bogus anyway, since you'd have to be clicking on the thumbnail to choose to watch it...unless you get notifications, and blindly watch, like a good subscriber would do - LOL ;)
As for Megan flying...she's just not interested. I try to strong arm her into it on the "easiest" to fly, but she can't drive an RC car around the room, so it's just not her thing. She does, however, make a great "camera crew", and has so much better than either of us expected! She also deals with the huge fluctuations in our family schedules. This is the hardest part to show in the videos, since we don't want the videos to "show" this part of the sacrifices of making all these videos. She and I have to get the house ready to film. Many times, she'll have to rush to clean up so that when I get home from a 10+ hours work day, we can film. The kids go down in our basement, where they admittedly, don't have it too bad, but the mess befalls us when we enter the dungeon...again, "Camera Crew" feels the brunt of this effort. The 4 kids are accustom to starting their day late, and ending it late too. This is normal for us, but most people think we're nuts (which we are)...but when you want to make something happen, you have to just do it...which is what I'm good at, and Megan helps to facilitate this. When we decided for her to stay at home with the kids (she had been a teacher by trade) that was part of our trade off. She'll help me to achieve my dreams, and I'll help her reach hers. We make a good team, but without her help, I don't know how I could do it!
...Oh, yeah...forgot to ask, are you a full scale flight instructor?
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes, I started instructing in the 1970s and stayed with it even when I had a real job. I worked with a lot of women because of the AOPA “pinch hitter” course given over for so many years all around the country. They can be taught to land an airplane in a weekend. It is usually their own plane and enables them to land safely should the pilot become incapacitated.
I finally retired and got into RC and I find your reviews so helpful. Regards from Kentucky Jimp
As the airline guys say, “keep the blue side up”!
Gracias por tu video, me sirvio para poder comprar este avion.
Thank you Brian 👍

SUBSCRIBED..TO YOU CHANNEL..AND AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEO YOU SHOULD HAVE YOU AND YOUR WIFE END THE VIDEO TOGETHER..THAT WOULD BE
NICE..SO THANKS AGAIN..BECAUSE I NEEDED TO SEE THIS BEFOR I ORDER THIS ..MY FIRST RC AIRCRAFT...A MOVE UP..FROM RC TANKS..SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE..😊👍👍👍👍.
PS..how does a chicken..get up in a tree..that is just to funny....😆😆😆..
Just elevate the chicken Coupe..above the snow level
Maby that will work..
Thanks for watching Emmett! As for a chicken, when they're smaller, and a bit skinnier than you might imagine, they fly just like every other bird, but they do a lot of walking too...these chickens (Game Chickens) are a little more "wild" and they will fly up in a tree and roost for the evening, if we'd not already trained them to come in for the evening. Unfortunately, they are all dead now :( They didn't hold up as good against a pesky fox that was very hungry.
@@BrianPhillipsRC wow ..
Now. I have a project for you that I would like to see..
And that is with tha VOLANTEX 768-1 P-51D MUSTANG..WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE..TO CONVERT THE FIXT LANDING GEAR..TO RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR..they don't have to retract into the wings..just retract and lay against the bottom of the wings..???.
Will be waiting for your response. My good friends..
ps..I don't think the weight would be any different from the fixed gear ..
Woah, i think I’m watching a movie
I hope it's a good movie ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC lol, it’s MY KIND OF GENRE!
Nice looking plane
Thanks Tim!
Outstandingly Informative, as always, with perfect cinematic camera work. I want this plane but I’m going to stop buying rtf planes and pick up the DX6 next. I’m definitely hooked so I might as well take another baby step toward eventually demanding my own personal runway in the front yard 🤣 Thanks y’all.
Keep this in mind when purchasing a DX6...
You will WANT/NEED at least the DX8 for many of the new BNF models that are equipped with SAFE Select. Just a friendly word of warning - I don't want you to waste a lot of money, just to have to "re-buy" 2 additional channels in a few months ;)
BUT, whatever you decide - good luck :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Oh man, I wouldn't have known if you wouldn't have mentioned this. DX8 is the new plan. Thanks very much!!
I'm so glad you're taking this advice. It is a lot more money, but you'll thank me, unless you decide to quit flying RC - but we both know isn't gonna happen ;)
Brian Phillips well, I still have the DX8 in my cart at Amazon, as I was waiting for the smoke to clear after a “did you really need 2 new planes in one week” lecture from the wife. I’ll put it off a month or so. In the meantime, I stumbled into a package deal consisting of a never flown sport cub s with a DX6 (used once) for $130. I couldn’t resist. I’m positive the wife will be happy and completely supportive. :-/
I love your enthousiasm. :)

With the "Loads Better", you'll be in it for more cash, but you're going to have a higher probability of success, which means you may WASTE less cash overall. When you're new, you want the BEST, which sounds kinda weird, but it's TOTALLY 100% right on - let me know in a year, if I was right ;) I only know from personal experience, and hundreds, if not thousands, of people's feedback. The "Cheap" options, are FUN and really cool too, but you'll LEARN to fly better with the "Loads Better" options.
P.S. We'll be here to help you how we can ;) Good luck!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you very much for your helpful video and descriptions.
A high winged trainer like a Piper Cub.
I Just have flown it and it was such an amazing experience(it was my first rc flight, hopefully i didnt crashed and did a pretty good landing), but the flight time was only 5 minutes and want to make it longer but i dont know which battery to choose, which one won't be too Big and too heavy, can you help me??
Me and my cousin got these and they suck, if u looking for a starter plane get the 400mm or a carbon cub s2 rtf
I agree. This one is my worst p-51, and I've had a LOT of them. BUT this plane is SUPER popular, and I'm afraid it's making a lot of "one and done" pilots ;(
The landing gear has a very vulnerable fixing point - we left it off and we propose to simply hand launched, once I have fitted a Gyro (which I like to fit to smaller planes). There is also so much confusion as to what battery is correct with only a 10amp ESC I think only a 2 cell will be correct?
I thought the battery was 2S.
Bonjour très belle vidéo merci !!!! J ai une question svp ,,, es qu'il est possible de mettre une batterie lipo de 2200 mah et de 50 c dans un P51 mustang de 1200 mm.... merci d, avance pour votre réponse. ... Steph ..
Probably not. I suspect it would be too large.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Probablement pas. Je soupçonne que ce serait trop grand.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Merci pour votre réponse. ..... Quand vous dites taille c les dimensions de la batterie ???? Ou vous parlez des 50 c ????? ... Stéphane . ...
I might get this one soon
Good luck if you do. This one is pretty tough to fly, compared to the other P-51's I've reviewed. It's definitely flies okay, but you have to land it FAST!
Hello.
Does the propeller disassemble on impact with the ground like the P51 model?
Thanks
No, this one does not "pop-off"
The real question I have is can one actually land this plane on a smooth runaway and not bounce/tip over(control crash)? I know onl the smaller version that is mission impossible, but with that breakaway prop, you can get away with it a lot! but this might damage the prop/motor so I like to know/see some landing! thx
Love the P51 was going to get one, price wise not to bad $218NZD approx ($141USD) reasonableish..But then I saw the shipping which totally turned me off $224NZD approx ($145USD)..That is just plain silly, I could buy probably about 2 to 3 planes off someone else for that price..
I'm glad we could help you make a wise decision.
advertised weght 270gm. What is the actual flying weight? Can you take it down to 250mg without the landing gear?
You would have to do surgery to get her below 250g, VERY regrettably. This plane is SO close, but keep in mind your lipo will put you way over anyway ;(
That being said, this is one of the millions of reasons that the FAA needs to get out of the model RC arena. What a WASTE of Federal money!
Is it recommended for beginners, intermediate or advanced?
This is probably my lest favorite and worst flying P-51 I've reviewed. It does fly, and it can be made to fly okay, but it's never going to be great. I know there's a spot for this in the market because of it's SIZE and Ready to Fly, making it quite a good value, but it's also the worst flying P-51 I've covered, and it's also not especially durable. I'd encourage you to check out these in stead...
This one - amzn.to/2uuy7ZT / bit.ly/2XrfKRR (Ready to Fly)
Smaller and really nice for what it is - bit.ly/2JQDtDj (Ready to Fly)
Bigger, at 1.2m wingspan, and WAY nicer for an intermediate beginner - bit.ly/30hC9ku (Bind and Fly)
Quite a bit bigger, at 1.5m for an intermediate pilot - bit.ly/2CB6l22 (Bind and Fly)
...hope I'm not bursting your bubble here ;)
Awesome video!!🔥🔥 I’m seriously considering buying this plane, I’m just waiting for Banggood to start shipping again. Btw, I have that exact same knife😂
Great! You'll enjoy it for sure!
Wait isint bang good in china do they export from there?
Brian can you take a photo of the Gyro-- mine came as a PNP no Gyro and the NX3 Giro I have purchased is difficult to fit in the confined space that there is in this plane. Cable management is really difficult too
Just ram it in there, and make it work...seeing the way they did it won't help. It's a strange multi-purpose brick, and I don't have a way to share pics easy here.
Sometimes you just gotta cram and ram, and hope for the best. If the wires reach, you'll be fine, but don't bind your servos.
Hi Thank you so mach for all your videos... 🙂.
Do you think i Can plug to this motor 3s 11.1v battery?.
That funky rudder glitch... it is part of the xpilot firmware (on the 'larger' models, not the mini-stuff). I have the standalone ax601 gyro board and this 750mm p51, does the same thing for both. I also have the little sport cub, and it does not do it. I don't know why it does it, it's a little irritating b/c it seems like you have to over-center the rudder to get it to go back to center after using it. You get used to it, like anything else I guess.
Got the P51 on banggood when it was a special for 109.xx about a week ago and $9 or $10 shipped w/in the US. Keep watching their site for such specials folks.. the crazy shipping charges suck, but every so often they have a special where they (apparently?) will have a small stock of items already in the US distributor warehouse and can then ship very cheaply w/in the US. I can't speak to how other countries may be set up of course. Often, the page for the item will have the default of 'CN' selected as the shipping source. Check to see if 'US' is not also available... that's how I found the deal I got.
Thanks for the heads up on that rudder "creep"...not the most promising looking response from any control surface, but seems like a flight controller issue, and for sure the little P-51 doesn't do it.
I think part of the crazy high shipping charges has to do with the Chinese New Year. There's a lot of business that shuts down for the whole celebration...similar to Christmas here.
Yes :)
Yeah, just don't order any beer - LOL ;)
@@theoztreecrasher2647 There's a good video or two on youtube about how to wire the ax601 up. One of them (older gentleman who uses a couple of servos sitting on his workbench instead of a plane) shows how to kind of 'bypass' the rudder circuit if the hitch-effect it has bothers you. IIRC, you use a servo Y cable to split the rudder signal between your RX and the gyro.. so that the rudder servo gets fed directly off the RX (and the 2nd leg of the Y goes to the gyro). The idea being.. the ax601 kind of expects there to be a rudder signal and may not 'enable' itself if it's missing. The gyro doesn't care if nothing is hooked up to the output side (on the gyro board itself), but it wants to see stuff on the input/signal side. That's what I remember, but find the vid to be sure. Also, it's not obvious (until you watch that same vid) that the connections to the gyro from your RX are just the signal wires .. so single-wires-per-control-input.. the ribbon cable it comes with can be peeled apart to get separate wires for this use. Finally, don't let my characterization of 'rudder-glitch' put you off.. the gyro works fine as a gyro-stabilizer. You'll adjust to this behavior pretty quick... it's just a thing you need to be mindful of.
Hi where did you get this I bought my first one 750 mm mustang P-51 just like yours from being good but it came without the receiver/controller and also no battery
Hi Brian thank you for the review and standing out in the cold 🥶 camera crew too ...amazed by the quality of this plane could a spectrum receiver be put into this maybe would like to know..keep warm best wishes Chris
Sure, you could put a DSMX Rx, like a Lemon-Rx or a Redcon DSMX (links to both in Description)...
You'd have to maybe take the CASE off either pick, so they fit into that spot on the top of the wing, that goes into the fuse...it's a tight spot when it gets closed in!!!
sure ;)
Hi Brian I’m a 42year old ‘child!’ from UK I’ve been flying the xk edge a430 while the world is self isolating and after seeing loads of your videos (totally my favourite guy btw ... and your camera crew) I think I’m competent in flying the a430 and have now ordered this mustang. My question is I really want to work my way up to the A10 you reviewed what would you recommend for follow on plane after this mustang? Like I say I’m 42 year old child and fully committed to financially keeping it that way 🤣 oh and eflite spitfire as well!!! Anyway love your reviews would appreciate any suggestions you have. Phil
Oh, what a loaded question...
Being that I'm your "favorite guy" I can't go and give you bad advice ;)
Do you have a Spektrum radio?
If no, here's where I 'd start...
Apprentice 1.5m RTF - bit.ly/2yusxZi
...the reason I'd start here, is that you can fly it, have a blast, and learn with similar radio to what you'll be using eventually with the A-10. You'll be upgrading from the included radio that comes with the Apprentice, but you can use the DXe for a few simpler planes.
After you're done using SAFE, you could easily handle the A-10, but it's expensive to make the jump from Apprentice to A-10...I will help you figure out what you need, but it will be pricey!!!
Fab! Yes I actually have a spectrum dx6e so I’m guessing this will just be enough for that kinda plane with retracts and flaps. I will check out your link thanks 😊
How does this compare to eachine 400mm warbirds? Is this worth the extra money. I have flown a lot of rc stuff but i am new to planes and I have flown only 2 ch airplanes and i want to upgrade now. I am really good at flying and pick up everything really fast without any bad crashes so far. So I am just wondering is this thing worth it.
I like it LESS. I would consider this plane to be one of the less good flying planes that we've reviewed, but no matter what I try to tell people about it, they buy one anyway...
It's not BAD flying, it's just hard to land, and has it's issues.
As for the 400mm warbird series...WAY better, and super fun!

Great demo as usual and great camera work also lady he he .. I wanted to buy it but listen to this. $188.00 dollars canadian plus any tax, plus $129.00 shipping. Sent banggood a note probably won't do any good. They are getting too dang greedy. Too bad. Happy Flying
I think there's something weird going on right now with Chinese New Year, and the Corona virus...who knows??????
Dude check Amazon,.. i got mine for $140 & $2shipping. it took 5 days to get her,. they stated arrival 11 days, so came pretty quick. Although some were priced at $190 if u look around the site, most of the time you'll find a better deal.
Banggood is becoming greedy as fuk!!! They wanted $38 to ship me a $7 prop then take 3 months to get here,aw hell no! i refuse to do that. If everybody else would also decline, after bout a month or two those prices would go bak to normal.. Good Luck on ur hunt..
I can get it cheap on eBay
I live in Western Australia. for me its $206+$40 shipping. 246 Australian Dollars for this...Probably a bit more than i want to spend
Topper Sailboats Australia - YES. Sorry, but if you're spending that kinda cash, get the Horizon Hobby 1.2m ;)
Hello I have a question. I want to buy this plane first to start. I have never flown an rc plane. Please tell me if it is good for learning at the beginning or choose something smaller and cheaper at the beginning. I would like to ask for an honest answer and opinions about this plane. I will be very grateful. Greetings :)
NOOOOOO don't do it! There's better choices....this plane is actually pretty hard to fly (well...to LAND).
I want to help you out, and there are BETTER P-51's if you are a first time RC pilot.
Here's one suggestion. I know it's kinda lame compared to a bigger P-51, but to be frank, I wouldn't recommend the BIGGER ones yet...you'll end up crashing it and being what we call a "one and done" - new pilot buys one plane and quits due to a terrible experience - You may be included to think you'll be the exception to this rule, and if you are I congratulate you, but unfortunately, you won't, and neither was I - LOL - you CAN do it, but I highly suggest starting with something a BIT more "guarantee" to give you a good experience. Flying RC is AMAZING, and totally worth the work you'll put in to get there, but you do have to put in the work...

thank you very much for describing and helping. these are the price of a hint for me. Let me start with something less about dancing. because it can really jump so that it will crash and the fun is over and I would not want to be discouraged immediately. I will review all your suggestions and then write to I chose and I will ask for help :) thank you again
@@BrianPhillipsRC but I think I will choose this Eachine Mini Mustang P-51D 761-5 EPP 400mm first. what will you tell me about it or advise me? buy two additional larger capacity batteries? it is fun to control and is tough do you have to be careful?
Put mine together, not really RTF is it lol? Having a problem with reversed aerolons? 😳😟
It's been so long since I touched that plane, I can't honestly say. I thought there was a toggle switch on the radio, but if not, you can also move the linkage on the control horns so they're on the other side, if it's running backward, BUT you need to make sure the direction of travel from your sticks is the same as the direction of CORRECTION from the stabilizer / auto-leveling, otherwise you're plane will try to flip over all the time.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hey Brian, it was as easy as pointing the control stick to the proper direction and it resets after a couple seconds that's how I got it out of wack, 😂
Hi Brian, it's me again, lol hope you have'n a good day, great video, can i bind my spektrum dx6e radio to Volantex P-51D 750mm or would i have to change the receiver or could i use the aux port for a receiver like on the OMPHobby S720?
You need a WHOLE new receiver, but then you can use whatever you'd like...
Here's a few to choose from...

@@BrianPhillipsRC Wow thanks for the fast response, I still have the receiver that came with the dx6e, if it will fit i'll try that, keep up the good work. haha i just ordered the umx a-10 oh boy cant hardly wait :D
Really enjoyed the video. Bought this plane and absolutely love flying this beauty! I noticed you mentioned the extra channel for flaps. I’m kinda new to the sport and would like to see a video of how to integrate the flaps on this plane!
I have a playlist link that shows all sorts of plane. I worked with my buddy Esteban, to add flaps to his (SUPER SIMILAR) plane, but different Transmitter and Receiver. You might want to check it out. P.S. I make playlists, so whenever I do a mod, that might be helpful to others, I have all the videos for a particular plane there.
As for using that channel, grab a servo and plug it into that channel. You will see it move when you flip that switch. Make sure the pins are lined up correctly...
Darkest is GND / Red is DCV+ / Lightest is Siginal
Black / Red / White (Futaba)
Brown / Red / Yellow (Hextronics)
Once you get this part done, you can play with where to put the servo. Then the fun part...making small flaps, then a linkage to make the flaps attach to the servo linkage.
I have a bunch of flaps mod videos. I think you'd enjoy watching them. I've literally spend hundreds (if not thousands) of hours on this stuff, so you can learn what you need from almost any mod series.
Let me know when you have more questions, and I'll try to help.
Brian Phillips I really appreciate your feedback and checked out a few of your videos of mods for flaps. I noticed that most videos the ailerons are usually further out toward the wing tips, giving you a larger or wider area to utilize for your flaps. Would I need to extend the ailerons on this plane or would the inner part of the wing have enough surface area for effective flaps? Again really love your channel and all your support!
Inboard flaps don't need to be HUGE, but HUGE is more fun ;) To answer your question, no, just leave the ailerons where and how they are, and play with the small space you have on this plane. When you see the impact, you will be amazed!!!
Would a TX16s bind with this ?
What protocol wpuldnitjuse if it does ?
Not sure, but have heard of others binding to another open tx protocol, but I never did. Please keep in mind, this is one of the harder to fly P-51's we've ever had, so if you DON'T find success with it, DON'T FEEL BAD!!!
Here's a better option (1.2m OR UMX - both excellent!) bprc.me/P51
I absolutely love the visible cockpit, but when I click on the link it takes me to the banggood site where it shows a colored in cockpit. I won’t be interested if the cockpit is not visible, Can someone clarify please
What about a better plane in general? This is a pretty tough plane to fly....
P51 bit.ly/3ohT4zT (Horizon Hobby - WAY better option)
P51 bit.ly/3QpTmRi | shrsl.com/3lrfi (FMS - great option too!)
P51 bit.ly/3bgcH8l (Arrows - similarly BETTER option)
BUT you'll need to setup the plane like we do in our videos, so when you find the one you like, check out our playlists, or head over to www.brianphillipsrc.com and you can search there too...
This 750mm P-51 is one of the worst we've reviewed over the years of doing this channel, but it DOES fly
If you need a quick fix, and budget is a concern, what about the little 400mm series?

Mine wobbles in flight. I just got it and put it together . Do you have an ideas why it would do that?
I appreciate any suggestions. The rudder servo reans to have a lull in-between center and max as well. Lie it's catching on something but I checked everything and the servo arm path is clear.

Thanks :)
Hi, I just got the same model plane as yours. But why it’s the throttle not working? Everything works fine except the throttle. When I put the throttle stick up just nothing happened.
Up 100%, then DOWN 0% (or some say -100%) then it will "ARM". You probably already figured this out...
Do the control surfaces move?
Brian Phillips I put the throttle to 100% and then back down to 0% and it’s seems ARM. but the throttle still doesn’t work. I have tried put that left corner switch in 3 different position and the throttle still not working. Everything else is working just fine. Can I send a video to show you? Thx
So I have this plane, and get this, my ailerons only move with my elevator. (So right stick up and down) but nothing side to side. Ive messed around, even tried plugging it into all the spots and still nothing. Any advice?
We kinda had that happen too. Can you watch right before I take off again...and see what I did. It's been a long time...so might have to re-watch.
Did you're have the Y-Splitter connecting the elevator and ailerons by accident???
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’m not sure what to do, what do you mean by y splitter? I’m lost, I’ve tried plugging it into all of them
Hi Brian, just bought this plane. What protocol do I use with my radiomaster tx16s? Thanks in advance.
Good question. I'd be lying if I said I knew, because I don't. There are others who have tried and succeed, but don't think we got our OpenTX Jumper T8SG to work.
Imagine an fbi agent hearing "My flying buddy Escobar" 😂😂😂
LOL yep!
Brian I followed your video to the T. I need help though. Mine just will not take off. Goes 2 feet never taking off and the nose sucks right to the ground. If I try to hand launch it...same thing. Plummets to the ground nose dive. Seems like the cg is way off. I have the battery mounted same as you right in the slot. Thoughts? I already destroyed 2 props from it nose diving while take off and the prop cover is destroyed too. Iam pretty disappointed and frustrated at this point. My other jets and planes take off as smoothly as yours. Did I get a defective one or something?
I wonder if you have the CG too far forward?
Can you make sure you have the CG right - sounds like you might have issues there. Can you try gliding it into tall grass? If you do, please make sure your battery is in and you can use the controller to get into the throttle if she does well!
Good luck Jeff! this plane needs SPEED!!! So don't be shy with your chuck....get it flying! Throw it HARD.
Thanks Brian. So I have noticed some issues with mine.
1.) Tried repositioning the landing gear to move Cg a bit further back. I can't move the battery. It as you know only has the one spot for it to go.
2.) My flaps are not centering back to full level when testing initial startup. No matter what they have about a 5 degree up/down at center. I tried quickly turning the threaded rods. Could it be more an issue with the servo/esc/gyro center calibration position? Tried resetting gyro and turning on and off receiver several times...still aligns up where flaps ailerons are slightly up/down at center stick. Yours doesn't seem to be that way? I also noticed last night while charging the battery on my balance charger that it was heating up and started to swell?! Not good from my understanding of charging lipo batteries. So far EXHobby (whom I purchased from) has been communicating with me but there replies have been less than satisfactory. They are telling me I need to find a smooth paved or wood upward hill to take off from. They also are not taking any accountability towards sending me a new prop or safety nose cone from the damage sustained by this plane chewing up payment right from the first attempt at takeoff. They haven't addressed the battery issue yet either. So far, Iam not very impressed by this company or the possible lemon of a jet they sent me. Wished mine worked as well as yours. I had really high hopes man. Any pointers kindly appreciated. I know it only cost $150 which is cheap compared to other jets but not even getting it to take flight is just frustrating.
Does the transmitter/radio appear to be the same as the Eachine plane? The radio included package carries a $90 shipping charge I’d love to avoid.
I would love to report it's the same, but not 100% sure, since I don't have the "BIG" 750mm Eachine....and I believe this protocol might be different than the "mini" sized planes.
Thanks for the clarification,
theoztreecrasher ;)
Hey Brian ! Thanks to you and your giggling camera crew !
Do you get to keep all those planes ?
I keep them, as I'm a hoarder - LOL
Hello, so as my first flight took a bit of a nose dive, i was wondering if you have a recommended source for replacement propellers? I'm not having any luck finding a 6.7" 4 blade prop.
You can get them from Banggood
bit.ly/38YsGVe
Keep in mind, they aren't super fast on shipping, so maybe get a few ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you, ordered 5 and a new nose cone, wooops.
you must have a room or two just stacked with airplanes! send a couple my way would ya
We have about 1600 - 1700 square feet of our house consumed by planes right now. (not an exaggeration)
@@BrianPhillipsRC well think of me like an rc airplane savers thrift store if you ever need to "dispose" of any craft in the future! I will "relieve" you
Would you recommend this one or the Eachine - RTF Mini P-51 Mustang? I want to get back into flying planes after flying quad copters for ages. The planes I flew when I was a kid were not 4 channel and I want a good plane to relearn and improve on.
This one is a whole lot less forgiving than the smaller Eachine. This one is not a hard to fly plane, but it's kinda hard to land it without sustaining damage. Both fly really easy, but he small one is just so dang indestructible!
@@BrianPhillipsRCThank you for the quick reply. I'll probably be going with this one as the smaller one is not in stock so it won't get here in time for my upcoming flyday with my buddies. I have my old rc plane simulator to practice on so hopefully I won't need it to be indestructible.
As for the wheels I will probably make better new wheels or skids for the front with wire foam and my 3d printer.
Great! If you want an easier to fly plane, that's similar, have you on considered this one... Volantex Sport Cub 500 - amzn.to/36z22Or - Amazon / usa.banggood.com/custlink/vDDGQJlpQK - Banggood
This plane is a blast, and very good for survivability.
i had the same problem figuring out how the spinner went on as the paint hid the seam .i knew it needed a backing plate and thought it was missing until i saw a video on the spinner.felt really stupid
Don't feel stupid, we've put together hundreds of these things and it's NOT CLEAR ;)
After loosing my eachine mini i ordered one of these thanks to you and this video really helped me put it together thanks brian you made it easier. Any advice on the landing ? Like it alot other then the twitching and my landings have been kinda rough
To be totally honest, it's not super easy to land this plane for a variety of factors. First, it needs to fly pretty quick, or she'll stall nose down into the ground, soooo, you kinda have to hope for a stiff breeze down the runway OR "fly her into the ground" - kinda sounds obvious, but many times you're looking to stall the plane into a landing, but with the somewhat touchy elevator controls, you have to basically fly the plane on the runway, then chop the throttle. If you're not feeling it, just put her in the grass and salvage the plane.
We had this same issue with another 750mm P-51 that Esteban had. We always had to GREEEEEEESE the landings, or face retribution from ripped off landing gear. The four bladed prop is also tough, with the propensity to nose over...then you're looking at dragging or breaking off one or two of the blades.
I want to say there's some magic bullet, but there just isn't. I've flown a lot of P-51's, but this particular size has always kinda had this issue. Funny thing, the HH UMX P-51 I can easily fly it along the road on the mains :)
Also, if you want it to be easier to land, use the AUXILIARY port and install flaps. You can make a very simple inboard "split flap" that can even be CLEAR, made out of a plastic pop bottle or similar. Just use some tape for a hinge, and one smaller 9 gram or less servo to actuate them. This will allow slower landings. Keep in mind, there will NOT be any elevator correction with flap deployment on this RTF transmitter, so you will need to ride the elevator to keep the nose up when flying her with flaps down.
Hope this helps SOME.... Good luck Jared!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah thanks for the info maybe i should try my hand at flaps then because i just suck at gettin it down gracefully .lol Least its sounds like its not just me. Really appreciate all your help and experience it really helps us lightweights out . thanks for all your videos and all the time you must put in to make em. I know i learn alot from them
i have this plane but the rudder pulls to the left in beginner mode without me doing nothing, you know why?
That might be corrected by some trim, but this P-51 is one of the hardest to LAND "beginner planes" we've ever flown, and I've flown her in 2 brands, and kinda hate them both ;( (keeping in mind, when we filmed this, there were FAR fewer good options, so might have ranked a bit higher...)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for responding :)
Are there any batteries where I can get more flight time out of it? Also, when in expert I see that the elevator seems to have less throw with it. Beginner and intermediate is fine but expert seems to have some issue.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I can't wait to take it up when parks open up again.
You will have a better visualization when you go to flying it, but as for longer flight times, I think they're plenty long for a RTF plane. If you want more, you can squeeze a slightly bigger pack, but it's gonna be harder to land...this plane doesn't handle weight well...also it'll make the plane nose heavy really quick so be careful how much you push the envelope :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the info, I didn't consider the weight factor. I do have some batteries coming in soon which are a little bigger. One review mentioned that the pilot got 7 minutes out of it (I'm assuming he was gunning it at full throttle.). But if the stock battery can last around 10 minutes or longer, I should find batteries similar to that, that way I won't compromise the weight.
7 minutes is a long time in RC flight world. I promise ;) More chances to takeoff and land.
Got this plane, mounted and everything seemed allright. However first flight with the gyro on, the plane was VERY shaky and it did wobble a lot (both in beginner and in intermediate) and had to land. No idea how to fix this :(
There isn't a simple way to fix it, other than changing the control horn setting on the ailerons...if it's shaking, then you can reduce the mechanical output and move the controls closer into the wing, at the Ailerons. Other than that, you're pretty much at the mercy of the stabilizer.
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes I figured it out. i contacted banggood and they will give me a partial refund. So I will just buy a new reciever and gyro. Thanks for your help
Hey Brian, thanks for the video. Have you tried to bind the Eachine P-51 transmitter to this Volantex P-51? Hoping to buy the PNP version.
No I haven't. Are you saying the BIG one to the SMALL one? If so, YES, and it doesn't work...this was by ACCIDENT by my son. If you're meaning the 750mm P-51 to another 750mm P-51, I suspect they will work.
@@BrianPhillipsRC RTF it is! Hey, thanks so much for getting back to me man! I really appreciate that.
Hi Brian, Great video!
I bought one of these recently and after setting it up, everything was fine except the throttle. It would cut out if i went above half way up on the throttle stick although it felt like full power was half way up. I think this is a calibration problem or something. Would you be able to tell me how to recalibrate it if this is the issue? or if there is a different issue with it. Thanks
Sounds like you have a bat battery possibly. Some of these planes have LVC Low Voltage Cutoff...but you might be right about calibrating the ESC.
Typically, to calibrate an ESC, you would power up as usual, but you'll have the throttle stick at 100% (something you normally wouldn't do), then when the ESC starts beeping, you'd return the throttle stick to 0%. This would normally calibrate the ESC Throttle Range, but not sure if it will work on this RTF.
Brian Phillips yes I have both tried this and bought a new battery and both don’t work. I have ended up emailing banggood.com
Usually the plane is supposed to be fast but I think the wind blew it or you didn’t give it enough throttle.
It was flying into a pretty stiff wind, but this plane isn't too fast. I've had a lot faster P-51's....but this plane flies nicely, and it's a very good value.
I’ve seen other you tubers have this plane and it was quite fast
I was flying in wind...the ground speed will be much lower in high wind, unless you're flying with the wind, then it will be crazy fast ground speed.
i've been contemplating but you convince me to get it
Okay, good luck!
Sir just want to double check...when in the beginner mode...when i move the rudder stick to the left/right and let it go, the rudder stick back to the center but the rudder it self seems like not going back to the center. This only happens in the beginner mode. In intermediate and expert mode the rudder return to the center smoothly. Is it normal?i havent fly mine yet coz worry about this behavior. Please advise.tq sir
This rudder is WEIRD. It should go back to center, but I've not seen it do that on this plane...it sorta "creeps" back.
This is "normal" but it shouldn't be ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank u sir i thought i got the defect plane. this is the biggest plane so far for me so a bit worried if it actually a defect and crash on the 1st flight.hehe
@@ifanana mine does the same thing, but in both Beginner and Intermediate mode. Very odd. I think it's an issue with the flight controller/receiver. I'm replacing that with a Lemon RX Stabilizer Plus receiver.
I also bought you p51. tested everything. when i go full throttle the esc shuts off and beeps.. why
the battery is charged
What battery? What is the exact charge per cell?
the battery that came with it. each cell has 4.04V
Do you know where I can find the receiver for this plane I found every spare part but that one
I would NEVER use this Rx if I had a choice...I'd 100% use something else, since you can...

I'm sorry, no...BUT I do show it on the video starting at 52:00 ...hope this helps Andrew ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC - Thanks! Your mic dropped off a bit watching it on the phone, but it's much more clear on the PC.
I have one of these. I fly it on a 2s 850mah from hobby king. Do you think it would be ok on 3s 🤔
Not sure, and don't want to burn her up just quite yet.
I used 2S 850mAh ZOP packs and worked way better. Lot better feel on CG, and lots more flight time BUT...her landing gear are not well glued, so better GREASE the landings with a heavier pack, or you'll be fixing the delicate prop, only after taking off the even more delicate egg shell spinner :(
Shit I fell in love with it
I'm glad you did. It's a beauty, but need to get out in the calm and see how well she performs with the 850mAh 2S pack.
is that normal when mode is beginner the rudder is not straight? but when expert its straight just wonder if that normal i got my p51 today not yet test maybe on fri
Move the rudder stick on your Transmitter, and let it go...does it go to the left/right, then come back? It's kinda weird the way the rudder works in BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE mode...but in EXPERT mode, the surfaces should just "work" like normal.
Kinda looks like the prop is to small for that plane maybe. I like it though. Very cool
The plane on the website looks different than this, is it the right link?
Sorry!!!! Updated.... P51 Red Tail amzn.to/3q2vIjF (Amazon) / bit.ly/2XrfKRR (Banggood)

Hi Brian, great channel u have! All needed information is in it.
I want to buy one of those but I am not sure if I have enough space to fly it cause you're property is huge and hard to compare with mine.
I got a space of 344 by 262 feet . Is it enough to fly this bird?
Greets
Not this one, but you might be able to fly the MINI. This particular P-51 has gotta be the worst P-51 I've flown. I hate to have to keep saying this, but this P-51 is just OKAY...it's not BAD, but it's JUST Okay. It's hard to fly (land) when compared to most other P-51's I have, or have flow, and I've had quite a few, being the P-51 is very popular.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen all you're clips from the mini ones. I allready ordered the Eachine p 51 and the XK A160. Because I ordered the zop 850 mah battery's for the XK I easily can use them in the Volantex p 51. The reason I wanted to buy these one is because the weight is 277 grams and its bigger. The maximum weight here without getting a fly license is 285 grams. I'l give the Volantex a try I guess. Thanks for you're time. I appreciate it!
Brian, the sound when outside and away from the camera is muffled and wind noisy. Can you look into using a remote mike link to the camera. Otherwise a good build and flight. Pity your camera crew also has to get cold filming you.
I've heard this complaint before. We have been keeping an eye out for a better solution, but for now, this is what we can afford (time and money) so we will do our best with what we have.
We appreciate you're endurance as we work through this issue.
