"nother" new one...

[Edfrombama]

Good morning to all-
Well, fellers, I just can't get enough of those little Eflite UNX mini-fliers. They are so easy to bind and fly, and that suits me right down to the ground. I don't do well with much complication in my setups and bindings at all. simple pleasures for simple minds, I reckon.

Anyway, I received the Eflite P-51 Detroit Miss livery today, and I just natural-born had to take it down to the flying field to see what she could do.

Fellers, this little plane goes like a scared cat. Very fast and pretty good on rolls and loops, and it does go up and it keeps on going up for a while. Handles well, not bad to control, but landing this plane requires the pilot to bring it in lined up with the landing area and under quite a bit of power. No slow her down and let her float with this plane- got to bring her in with some speed to control the descent.

This is a very good little plane- and it looks just as nice as it flies.

I will try to get some pics-

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Most war birds you have to bring in hot, sounds like your hanger is getting quite the collection.

Thats a cool looking plane!!! I bet it needs some speed. The wings don't look very big to me in the photos.
Sounds like another winner!

Very cool Ed, looking forward to pics.

Stang? Yeup, War birdies are tricky. Low wingers are also tricky, they can fly groovie, but airspeed is the key, I got a little buddy to match your merican bird, its know as Der FW-190D shes the fastest in zie Luft-Waffel. LOL!

That's funny about the landing speed. Isn't the real plane the same way? I remember watching a documentary about the P-51 and some of the pilots were talking about how it wasn't a plane for novice pilots.

The P-51 has been my favorite plane since I first saw the red/white/blue one in the Tower Hobbies catalog in 1980. Like this livery.

That was when my dad bought his first RC balsa plane kit. I distinctly remember that was where the catalog naturally opened up to because the catalog developed a memory from me staring at the P-51 every time I grabbed the catalog. I never could convince dad to buy the kit though. I remember it was an expensive kit back then, and dad said that it wasn't for beginners.

Fellers- Here's a pic of my little P-51 as I was running her up for a little breezy, gusty flight today. She did just fine, by the way.
