Eachine P-51D Mini Mustang Stabilized 4 Channel Stunt Trainer Plane Flight Test Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- This ready to fly fighter plane is a ton of fun for intermediate and above fliers. Fast and maneuverable, it can be flown fully stabilized while still allowing stunt aerobatics. If you get into trouble in a stunt, just let go of the sticks and the plane will quickly and automatically level itself. Find it here bit.ly/MustangP51D
Interesting side note, the plane is painted out as "Bunnie" "Miss Kentucky State", of the 332nd Fighter Group (Tuskegee Airmen) bit.ly/BunnieP-51D
Pros
- Ready to fly with included transmitter.
- True four channel airplane with throttle, elevator, rudder, and aileron control.
- Three selectable flight modes. Beginner mode includes full 6 axis stabilization (3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer). Also includes angle restrictions that prevent the aircraft rolling or pitching over. Intermediate "Midd" mode also includes 6 axis stabilzation, but turns off pitch angle restrictions to allow manual stunts. Expert mode turns off all stabilization for fully aerobatic manual flying.
- Controller also includes a stunt button that allows the airplane to automatically conduct loops and aileron rolls.
- Quick disconnect propeller saver automatically disconnects the propeller in a crash to prevent propellor or motor damage. Propeller can be quickly reattached after the crash to continue flying.
- Constructed of flexible and crash resistant EPP foam.
Cons
- Although fully stabilized to lessen the chance of crashes, it is a bit fast for beginner pilots. Beginners might have difficulty flying this as they won't have much time to react and correct beginner's mistakes (particularly if they lose orientation).
- One key return feature did not seem to work with mine.
- Brushed motor airplane. Its motor will eventually fail some day.
- Short flight time of about 5 minutes. Although this comes with two or three batteries, it is very important to allow about 15 minutes of rest time between flights to lessen the chance of overheating and failing the brushed motor.

You can *find this plane* here bit.ly/MustangP51D
Do you think it can carry a micro VTX AIO?
Controller to the "drone"? You should say airplane.
I know this is an older video but do you know if there’s a place I can buy the original transmitter separately?
I ordered this plane 2 years ago and it's a great experience with it especially when you have no experience at all with flying planes
Awesome little plane and great review. My son had less than 1 hr stick time on 3 channel trainers, 8 years ago. He picked this up and flew like he had been for the last 8 years. Great little plane!
My favorite RC plane, especially when you move the servo rods on the rudder and elevator to the max/inner position it can do inverted loops.
It now has a 400mah battery instead of 380 1 year ago.
Awesome. Just ordered one! My first fighter plane ✈️ 👍😊

My first plane and I'm now starting to fly on expert after about 3hrs of flight time. It flies amazingly. Takes crashes well and handles heavy wind with safety on.
is it fast?
@@thefirewolf4856 relative to its size, yes.
@@thefirewolf4856 diving i guess 50mph or 70kmpu straight 30mph or 50kmpu
@@TheLiamis you must be insane that you start flying on expert after 3h of flight time
@@kubsonixd6845 it's only 50 bucks and if you mess up flick it to beginner and it corrects it's self.
Great review, I have just ordered one, I am in the UK. They seem to be sold under the brand Sonik and Volantex, but as you say they are the same as your Eachine. We are still lock down from flying models here but hopefully soon as will be able to have some freedom to get out again. Hope you are well, and safe. Mike
this plane has got to be my favorite rc plane ever
My version came with 400mah batteries strange, although I do have to say expert mode is very hard to handle in wind, I honestly didn't think it would be that difficult until I gave it a try. Until I can find an area with little wind, I'll have to stay out of expert mode for now.
Just got mine yesterday. This is my first plane ever. Looks really cool and fun to fly. I can't believe you can buy a ready to fly rc plane for under 100$.(transmitter included as well)
Oh yeah. There have been great advancements in RC planes the past few years. Here are a couple more beginner planes that you could not have purchased with their advanced features just a few years ago. th-cam.com/video/4dlZgUhRVK4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/s1iu5Nwbkws/w-d-xo.html
What an amazing and informative video. Thank you so much. I ordered the 3 battery kit and I would have definitely flown this back to back if I didn't watch this video.
same i bought one to try out with my friends and i got the three battery pack one so that we could just use the same one and take turns with it without having to wait for battery's to charge maybe in the future they will come out with a revision that will use a better more durable engine
WOW, CAN IT HANDLE A MICRO CAM? THIS IS THE ONE I WANT TO GET...AWESOME FLYER! THANKS FOR SHARING!
😊
Everything needs a camera 👍
And they are getting smaller and cheaper , i don't know why everything doesn't have a camera already 👀
👍
definite possibility, placed so the fore/aft CG is the same, the extra 3 grams (roughly) of the AIO fpv could be OK. might also bump up from 350mah to 380-400mah, the little more weight down low compensating a little for the weight of the cam higher up. might mean carving into the canopy some, view of the nose and spinning prop on your screen to be expected but it'd still be pretty cool.
Folks. I've been flying RC craft as long as Quadcopter 101. In fact, for 40 years. You cannot slap a camera on everything. If you want video, then a quad is the way to go. FPV a plane? Got to go minimum 2 cell. I have my Sky King F-959 with a camera. That happens to be a Quadcopter 101 favorite too. It does OK as a small FPV platform but please folks, don't go smaller..
Great review as always!! I bought this based on your review and I absolutely love it! What a great flyer!
Orsm glad someone explained about reversing servos
Great flying little plane. The weak point is the flimsy controller horn and the breakaway propeller hub. They will both break before the motor he mention for sure in my experience with 4 of this type of plane. Btw. Hand launch the plane and don’t ever try to land this on a concrete runway. Just found a nice soft area and soft land with motor off before landing/crash. It is 100% impossible to land without flip over.
These days I always launch, fly over, and land in grass. It makes for a much more longer lasting plane IMHO.
Re One Key Return function. "The aircraft remembers the direction it was pointing when it took off..." You sure about that? Might it not be the direction in which it was pointing when the activate button was pushed after binding or even the direction it was pointing when the motor was subsequently armed. Granted they are usually all the same but if say someone set it up on a table then placed it on a runway for launch they might be in for an interesting surprise. Similarly for someone landing and then taking off in a different direction and expecting it to "remember the direction it took off." Kudos for emphasizing the reading of the manual first though. Adding an occasional description link to your excellent "How to determine orientation at a distance" and "Headless explained" videos might be thought indulgent by the experienced elite but would undoubtedly help a lot of us wombats in the lower skills & intellect echelons. For TH-cam it might even be a "First!"
If you need to rely on a Return function to fly.. You should not be flying. That function is a joke without GPS.
@@MrPolymers Hey me old china, thanks for your input. Always interested to hear & learn from the experienced elite. What's the chances of youse experts imparting a few lessons to a gang of incompetent old farts & auxiliary young sidekick if we come along to the "Gym where my RC club flies' sometime? Might advance the hobby and even introduce some "fun for us advanced flyers!"
Oh, and dress code? Boaters and the old school tie? :D
I got the spitfire version of this and its great I'm thinking of getting the whole collection its so good
Yep, the Spitfire is pretty cool th-cam.com/video/eYllujMRXGM/w-d-xo.html
P-51D best plane ever! Awesome flyer! Thanks for review.

It's one of the best mini sized plane for sure! Great for experienced beginners that want to move up to intermediate level and higher.
@@user-fd4il6pi9i p51 better
Hope you still get money from that affiliate link, your landing at 20:18 sold me on the plane XD
Would've aced it on flat ground.
Excellent review as always! Thank you!
control surfaces... for these types of toys and more, use the trim buttons like this....
press one as far as it'll go one direction till it stops working/beeping, then use the other button to count how many beeps till it stops. then back to the 1st button for half as many beeps. NOW look to adjusting the control surfaces to be neutral/centered. not hard, hopefully you wont have to make any adjustments but you'll know centered will be correct with full adjustment left right up down to be "clickable" when needed.
Yeah I forgot to mention to center the trim buttons first.
Actually a lot of Transmitters give a long beep when the trim hits center as does this one - handy for folks who can't count. ;-) Sensible point though.
Thanks for the great video! I ordered the plane and unfortunately it arrived without the screws for attaching landing gear. I saw from you video that you got the screws. Could you please share with me a photo of the screws and size so I could try to buy them locally? I am contact you because the seller and Eachine were both unable to tell me that. Thanks a lot for your help!
You Could throw it to fly it thats what i do i remove the landing gear since it drags the plane
yeah, I'm ordering it for my brother s a Christmas present. ill send you the picture and the size and stuff m8
@@danny_on_wii8744 I got the size already, thanks. Unfortunately the propellers are faulty and do not stick. When I put full throttle, the propeller gets loose and flies away. Anyway, if anyone has a solution to this issue please let me know!
@ your prop holder the white plastic thing misses one of the 3 clamps or your prop is scraping the frame. Happened to me too.
I got 3 prop holders and 4 props.
Something to do when you are bored out of your mind with Corona.Love it !👍
Really insane how you could get that into air with that soft landing gear
Very good video! Thanks for sharing
my tail was bent very badly out of the box like yours appears to be. I straightened with hot water on the tail and holding until it cooled.
My wing was bent out of the box. i straightened the wing using hot air from a hair dryer. But lately it seems packages that I've been receiving from China have really been beat up in shipping. I'm not sure if Banggood is using a new shipping vendor to the USA to overcome the tariffs (it seems many of my packages are going through Belgium to arrive in California)? But if so, they should consider finding a new shipper.
just proves the Samsonite gorilla is still employed!
Very nice video keep up the good work😊
Got XK spitfire on order. Should be interesting.
It reminds me a bit of a plane version of a bugs 3 mini fast fun, but u have to know what u r doing before u take to the air its a lot of fast furious fun, but not for beginners
Awsome
Great review mate. You're a great pilot too. Scary fast little thing.
This plane is great fun. Which plane would you suggest to advance to next? Thanks.
You should do a review on or a guide on the blade 230s v2 helicopter by horizon hobbies as i find it difficult to find a good video on the flight modes hope you can do one soon.
great video :)
Very nice P51D! It flies very nice with just a brushed motor. This looks like a very good candidate for a brushless conversion so I wish they would send me one ;-) See you in the Air!
Brushless conversion? Now you're talking
@@bigriceburner ;-)
Hi Quadcopter 101. I noted in your review you mentioned using rudder in addition to aileron. I've watched some youtube videos and done the tutorials on RealFlight 9 and they say to do turns pretty much exclusively with ailerons and a bit of up elevator. If anything, I have read rudder should be used in a counter input direction to ailerons. However, I have noted with the Volantex Sport Cub 500 that a bit of rudder in the same stick direction as aileron seems to make the plane turn a it quicker. Is it ever "proper" to use rudder in the same stick direction as aileron? How did you use rudder when flying the Mustang?
You talked to me a couple hours ago would this plane be good to because it look good
It is very good. But I don't recommend it for beginners as it's also very fast. Beginners might have a problem keeping up with it, not having much time to react.
Awesome planes but like you I cannot get the one key return to work - would be helpful for the old fella whose sight is fading a bit . . .
One key return is not return to home. When activated, it merely turns and flies 180 degrees from the direction it was pointed when it took off. A GPS system is required for true return to home. Unfortunately this plane does not have GPS.
.wish I they would've put a 4 or at least 3 fin propeller on it though, like the real ones had, though..
wow that's small for the price,years ago you could get larger planes for the same amount
Should I put a txo2 fpv camera on one? Also I would want to get this and the each one F4U for formation flights possibly
Mine has decided to turn in to a 3ch plane and switched the rudder to the right stick while having no function on left stick except throttle. Not sure if it's a tx or RC issue.
mines done the exact same mate... the rudder is on the right stick and I have no ailerons at all! I'm not sure how to sort this issue have you?
Watch Brian Phillips video on it he explains how to fix that
He sounds like a pilot
Cool! thank you for good video
I’m having a hard time with the landing gear for my volanteex mini p51 !! Embarrassed, but I don’t know how to install!! Please HELP!! JT
great video, thank you
does it come as a Spitfire?
I would love to see them do a WWII fighter plane series of these (Spitfire Warhawk Messerschmitt Zero ...).
@@Quadcopter101 man that would be awesome. Some of my buddies and I that are in airline pilot training bought these and it's such a blast!
Great review. Do you think this is the best small / cheap RC plane? I also watched your review on the XK A430. Which one do you recommend? Thank you!!
This one is very good, as is the A430. But neither is for beginners. My brushless A430 broke into many pieces after a crash (not very crashworthy plane). This one is more sturdy in a crash, but has brushed motor which will fail eventually. That being said, have you seen these yet?

@@Quadcopter101did you paint the front of the plane, why I asked because mines is green, yours is a grayish color...
Not too shabby.
I really want a Freewing Avanti S, but first I need to get back in the rhythm with a little crash & burn affordable flier. :P
This seems somewhat close to what I'm looking for I suppose.

Would you help me?
I bought an E51 from Eachine identical to what you posted in this video but I'm not able to configure the control.
I followed each step of the manual but it doesn't work.
1- I put the battery on the plane first. Inside, the LED flashes.
2- turn on the control. The LED flashes and then stops flashing.
3- (problem) the plane is flashing the internal LED.
I need to know how to configure the control. Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, move the left throttle stick full up then full down to arm the throttle. After you do that, slowly move the left throttle stick up and the motor should start. If the motor still doesn't arm, then the plane's battery is not fully charged, or you need fresh batteries in the controller.
@@Quadcopter101 I've tried it all. I believe I believe the plane is defective. I already hired the seller to refund me
Nice plane.
i ordered this plane the day before i watched this video
And what do you think of it?
Looks like the left wing got creased in that crash near the star decal.
No, the package was crushed in shipment. The wing was damaged (bent 90 degrees) in shipment. I used my wife's hair dryer to straighten it out. Worked like a champ in under a minute.
You didn't say if the transmitter came with this rc
P 51...????
Yes, it is ready to fly. That means the transmitter is included and already setup to fly with it out of the box.
I have seen there are Volantex and Eachine of P51-D (and other rc plane) with exactly same design plane. May I know are they different manufacture? If they do which one is better? Sorry because I'm just still a beginner in this hobby
They are the same. Just under different brand names.
Ah I see. Thanks for guide Quadcopter! I have seen F4U, T28, BF109, P40 and their latest Spitfire. May I know which one would you recommendation for their mini lineup which gave you better experiences overall?
@@nikhanif7356 The Spitfire. It's an amazing flyer. th-cam.com/video/eYllujMRXGM/w-d-xo.html
@@Quadcopter101 Ah I see. Thanks for your recommendation Quadcopter! Gonna make order for that one soon. Practicing RC simulator on PC now even with many crash lol. Greeting from Malaysia!
Last to say last lol. I love this little plane, it’s definitely next on my list..
ok I don't even know what your channel does (this is the first video I have watched), but anyone who calls out "firsts" people gets a subscribe from me lol
very tiny...seems very well made..carbon in wings and tail is a nice upgrade...
Can you fly it without wheels? (more flight time?!)
Is there any way to connect extra servos?
What drone should i buy jjrc x9p or the jjrc x12?
How do I repair it? The propeller doesn't work anymore. Just engine sound but no movement.
th-cam.com/video/C1cg7kdJkzQ/w-d-xo.html you're going to need to cut it open to gain access to the motor and gearbox.
If that was fpv
Yes
Can you review the f4u from the same company like is it also for beginners.
Got one on the way.
conmo se separan las alas del fuselaje,gracias
i mean it didn't come yet
would you say this plane is a beginner plane?I kinda want to buy it buy i know nothing about rc airplanes
As I mentioned in the video, I don't recommend this for beginners as it's too fast. A beginner would not be able to keep up with it.
I recieved mine and the rudder control on the right hand side wher the ailerons should be, and I'm not sure how to send it back over to the left hand side as now I've no ailerons as it's not working even on the left hand side! does anyone know how to switch it back over if this is even possible?
It sounds like your controller is defective. Have you contacted customer service yet?
@@Quadcopter101 Because the Transmitter and receiver in this are also used in the 3-channel planes, when there are no aileron servos connected the 4-channel planes revert to 3-channel control with the rudder switched to the right stick. Check that the servo plug for the ailerons is seated properly or if the wiring/servo is open circuit. There is also the possibility that it could be just a chip glitch so try pulling the battery, re-powering the plane, sitting it on its feet and then restart the Tx (inside 5 seconds to do a re-bind of the Tx/Rx as per the manual.) A couple of posters have had this work if nothing else is kaput. Or it could be your Tx is defective - try a different Tx if you have 1 to hand. Or V761 protocol on a multi protocol radio.
47th! Also you sold me on the plane
So, after I press the aerobatic button, what Should I do for a roll and what for a loop?
After the beep, hold the rights stick either left or right or up for a few seconds it will start the sequence
Hi great vids. Do you know if you can get mode 1 models? I haven't seen any yet.
Aaaah a rare mode1 flyer, mode 1 is dying off, it's weird for the gaming flying generation...
Mode 2 for life lol i tried both, mode 1 is nothing like an actual airplane stick, mode 2 is..
Also,moving the stick up makes the plane go down...
If you buy something to fly, get a plane that you can bind to your mode1 transmitter, the rest is mode2 inverted
Is this normal that plane always goes up, even at med speed? I must say I removed the gears, is this the fault?
try adding a little weight up front near the nose. Try sticking a small piece of putty on the nose, or even a small wad of chewing gum.
Can you take off from the ground on beginner mode? As soon as I increased the throttle from a static position, the nose knocked the ground and prop broke off.
Yes it easily takes off from the ground. Sounds like your elevator pitch control may have accidentally been reversed. Check your pitch control to make sure that it's not reversed. Pull back on the right stick. Does the elevator move up? If it instead moves down when you pull back, replug in the battery and place the plane on the ground. Before arming the throttle, move and hold the right pitch stick back until the control's reversed (i.e. the elevator moves up when you pull back on the right stick). Then arm the motor by moving the left stick up and down to set it. Make sure to also check your other controls to make sure that none of them have been accidentally reversed. You can reset them the same way.
The video at 8:38 shows how to reverse the ailerons. But it's can be done the same way for the other control surfaces (rudder or elevator).
Landing gear needs to be bent to put wheels more towards leading edge of wings and full up elevator on take off.
How far is the controller range?
Use a jumper T16 and bind it to the plane
Hey, can you try out drone SG907, I want to see its performance, thanks!
It should perform similar to the SG901, but with automatic return to home and landing. Here is the SG901 th-cam.com/video/GXJPLe5HsC0/w-d-xo.html
flying distance?
My transmitter wont seem to bind with the plane. The light in the plane doesn't stop blinking. Any ideas?
Are you doing the following startup procedures? Plug in the plane first, then place it on the ground. Then turn on the transmitter. Move the left stick full up then full down to arms the motor. Then move the left stick up to take off.
@@Quadcopter101 yup I tried that, as well as plugging in the receiver followed by the plane. The plane and receiver actually bound at first, but halfway through my second flight, I lost control of the plane entirely. Since then I haven't been able to get it to bind.
Just to check the obvious, Have you tried using fresh batteries in the transmitter?
@Quadcopter101 are you going to test DJI Mavic Mini ?
Not anytime soon. None of my sponsors have it in stock yet.
@@Quadcopter101 it looks like a nice small drone btw, what do you think?
@@Gerald-iz7mv It is somewhat pricey for its capabilities. But we'll see how it performs once it comes out.

Thoughts on this vs the XK A430?
This!
How long it can flight?How far from you it can go?
10-12minutes , range about 300m, more than you can fly because it becomes really small fast and is hard to see
For somebody who has never flown before would you recommend this or the sport cub 500? Thanks.
Actually, both the P-51D and Sport Cub are a bit too fast for beginner pilots. You may have a hard time staying ahead of them, and may easily lose orientation. I would instead recommend the Super Cub. It's a slower and more gentle plane to fly. th-cam.com/video/QAr_0i-UAjs/w-d-xo.html
However, if you could afford $20 more, I would instead recommend either of the two following better four channel brushless motor planes. Both are appropriate for beginners. th-cam.com/video/s1iu5Nwbkws/w-d-xo.html

Sorry Im a dummie! 4 channel! 6 axis gyro! Thanks buddy!
Damn it!
Can you open it up to replace the motor?
You'd have to cut it open, and then glue it back together.
Yes you can you can buy all the gear from bangood don't cut it open use alcohol gell on the glued parts glue falls apart plus you can fly these on a jumper T16 radio lot better longer range
Does it break easily?
Not at all even the propshaft wont break, since the prop detaches, clicks back on very ez
