The P51 Mustang from RBC Models displays excellent flying performance with the speed 600/8,4V motor on 8 cells 1700mAh, a 12x10 gear prop and the Master Airscrew gearbox.  With this combination, you have plenty of power for easy hand launching without stress, and 6.5 minutes of flying time with easy loops and rolls.

The P51 Mustang is a complete kit that frames up quickly using an unconventional but straightforward and innovative building style.  The fuselage is built conventionally by adding ply parts and triangle stock to the fuselage sides.  The tail feathers are then added from parts that are CNC cut to ensure proper alignment.  Also supplied in the kit are the vacuformed cowling and canopy.  The canopy is supplied smooth as we found it easier to add pre-painted self adhesive tape to the canopy for simulating the canopy ribs.  The wing is quickly assembled by simply adding ribs to the main spars, completing the bottom sheeting, adding required wing internals (control cables etc.) and completing the wing by adding the top sheeting.  For covering, jap tissue and filler dope is recommended by the manufacturer, but film covering also works well.

The model in the picture is painted with Humbrol with an all up weight of 2.86lb (1300g) including the pilot.
