    E-Flite P-51 Mustang Unboxing, Build, Maiden Flight, and Review

    This is my E-Flite P-51 Mustang Unboxing, Build, Maiden Flight, and Review video. It shows me unbox, build, fly, and review the new full-house Dallas Doll P-51 Mustang from E-Flite.

    This is the BNF Basic, which means it doesn't come with a battery or a charger. It does come with a receiver to bind to your Spektrum radio such as a Spektrum DX6 like I used in the maiden flight in this video.

    This is my first park flyer sized P-51 and it is the first plane I have ever owned that comes complete with flaps and retracts, which was a bit intimidating to say the least.

    Horizon Hobby and E-flite did a good job overall this RC plane in spite of the cons I have noted below in the flight review notes. I am still in awe of how well it flies. It was modeled after the "Dallas Doll" North American P-51 Mustang Warbird and this one certainly looks the part.

    Flight Review Notes:

    Cons
    - Paint flakes off way too easy and glue is required
    - Arrived with dinged up flap
    - Slightly underpowered
    - Used up more battery than other HH warbirds

    Pros
    - Tracks really well right out of the box and required no trim
    - The AS3X did not interfere with the flight
    - Quick and easy build overall
    - Comes with flaps and retracts


    My overall conclusion is that If you are on the fence about buying this like I was, jump off and get your piece of World War II history today. None of the issues I had with this plane impacted the flight performance in a negative way.

    Here is just the maiden flight for those that don't want to hear me talk lol

        I bought it directly from Horizon Hobby's website. I think it is available quite a few other places though

                    It is on sale right now with coupon code on Horizonhobby.com for about $230. Where do you live? I am not sure where CCK is.

                    I hope this helps.

                        CCK stands for Choa Chu Kang. =)

                        I'll go check out HH and compare to RCS price then.

                        Thanks guys!

                          So I was able to get out and fly my new E-Flite P-51 Mustang today after not being able to fly since the maiden over a month ago. In many ways it felt like the maiden all over again as you can see by how poorly executed my take-off was. It was still a great flight and I still have the grin on my face
