    New Micro Plane Review/Unboxing/Maiden Flight

    Hi guys!

    Recently bought the new Ultra Micro P-51D from Parkzone. The unboxing/review/maiden flight video is now complete and ready for you all to view. This video includes two flights in addition to the unboxing/review.

    I hope you all enjoy!

    Hi Lynden,
    Thanks for your video. I have also got myself a UM, the P40 AS3X. PZ is really coming up with more and more of these cute critters.

    I noticed in your video, you subbed that you managed to trim the plane. I do hope it's not trimmed using the S-trim and D-trim on your radio. Manual mentioned that mechanical trimming must be done with a pair of tweezers / pliers to pinch and/or pull the tiny metal loops on the linkages to adjust the trim.

    With all the advantages AS3X brings, one the the peeves is the fact that you can't simply just click in the trim on our radios. On my maiden flight, I discovered that an insane amount of software trim on the radio was required to adjust for a very teeny weeny slight left roll tendency. Took it back, whipped out my tweezers, gave the loops a small squeeze, flies perfect now w/o any trim.

    I guess any amount of radio trim will tend to fight the AS3X's active flight control. My P40 also tends to need some pushing down on the elevator to tease it for a descent to landing. The AS3X is essentially fighting the plane to hold it level. Unlike un-gyroed planes which glides in smoothly once you ease the throttle. In this sense, the AS3X's control felt slightly 'unnatural'. Therefore, i found it essential to maintain some power and push it down somewhat to force some semblance of a smooth glide approach.

      Wow, I didn't know that we can't just click trim on our radios. That is a bugger.

        I forgot to thank you for watching my video. I appreciate it! Also, you are right about PZ coming up with some great new planes. I would have them all if my budget allowed

          Here is another video showing it flying "scale". I am impressed with how realistically it flies.

            I took this video last night and it turned out better than I had hoped. It makes me laugh and enjoy this lovely plane all at the same time. Best of all I got to spend it with my great girlfriend!

                  So yesterday I shot some new video that does a pretty good job of showing the personality of this still WWII Warbird

                  Enjoy!

                          It is a Spektrum receiver, so it should work, but I am by no means an expert in that realm. I would be very surprised if it didn't work.
