Its unique design resulted in it delivering some of the best performance among all fighter aircraft flown in WWII. The E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.2m is a scale replica of the legendary U.S. Army Air Corps fighter that delivers an experience to make flying history's most famous fighter more enjoyable than ever. The 3S and 4S compatible power system includes a specially tuned motor and an upgraded Spektrum 70A Smart Lite ESC. And the BNF Basic version also includes a telemetry-capable AR631 receiver with AS3X technology plus optional-use SAFE Select technology to make it even easier to fly. That makes this P-51D the smart full-house warbird choice for a wide range of pilots! Updated and upgraded to be the easiest-to-fly full-house Mustang model yet, capable of scale-like, sport, high speed, and aerobatic flying Specially tuned motor compatible with 3S and 4S batteries without the need for modifications or upgrades Popular 3S and 4S 2200–3200mAh batteries deliver excellent performance and flight times 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides real-time battery voltage, current, RPM, and other data via compatible receivers and transmitters Compatible with the Spektrum DXS transmitter included with many of the most popular E-flite and HobbyZone trainer airplane models Spektrum AR631 receiver with fly-by range telemetry and industry leading DSMX technology Easier to fly with innovative and optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection The unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive AS3X technology Functional flaps for shorter takeoffs/landings and improved slow-speed performance Operational electric retracts plus scale-like strut covers, wheels, and tires Full 6-channel control with six factory-installed servos and linkages Lightweight yet durable composite-reinforced EPO construction Factory-applied “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” trim scheme This updated version of the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.2m delivers outstanding warbird appeal whether flying or just standing still. It’s now finished in the iconic “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” trim scheme of George E. Preddy Jr., the top P-51 Mustang ace during World War II who downed six planes in a single day. This replica features a variety of scale details including molded-in panel lines, a pilot figure, four-blade propeller and more. Plus, its functional flaps and retractable landing gear add to the scale flying experience. The 3S and 4S compatible power system includes an upgraded 70A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, and the BNF Basic version is equipped with an AR631 receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. Best of all, no glue is required for final assembly so you can have it ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Easy landings and take offs. - I bought the Elite P51 after having owned two Eflite F4 Corsairs. The Corsair landing gear, as you may have discovered, is the weak link. the gear frequently collapsed. Frustrating and disappointing. NOT SO with the MUSTANG!! The Elite P51 mustang is a much sturdier aircraft with robust landing gear. As long as you don't lawn-dart it into the ground, it will keep going up giving you a Full day of fun at the flying park. NOTE: I put an included a bad landing in the video so you can see what the plane can take. It kept on flying! Highly recommend over the Elite F4 Corsair. Review: Intermediate plane! - My son has gotten into flying RC planes and this one is pretty awesome! Great quality! Would recommend for a person that has some RC flying experience or it could get damaged! ## Features - Updated and upgraded to be the easiest-to-fly full-house Mustang model yet, capable of scale-like, sport, high speed, and aerobatic flying - Popular 3S and 4S 2200–3200mAh batteries deliver excellent performance and flight times - 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides real-time battery voltage, current, RPM, and other data via compatible receivers and transmitters - Spektrum AR631 receiver with fly-by range telemetry and industry leading DSMX technology - Factory-applied “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” trim scheme ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BSP9HKS1 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Batteries are Included | No | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #148,705 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #158 in Hobby RC Airplanes | | Brand Name | E-flite | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 36 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Hobbyist Skill Development, Understanding of Physics Principles through Hands-on Experience | | Included Components | P-51D Mustang 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 51.1 x 15.3 x 9 inches | | Item Type Name | Airplanes (B&F), Electric | | Manufacturer | Horizon Hobby | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1500.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 14 | | Manufacturer Part Number | EFL089500 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | P-51D Mustang 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” | | Model Number | EFL089500 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Nonstandard Battery batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Remote Control | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Set Name | Bind-N-Fly Basic | | Size | 51.1 inches | | Subject Character | Army | | Theme | airplane | | Toy Vehicle Form | Airplane | | UPC | 605482163290 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![RC Airplane P-51D Mustang 1.2m BNF Basic Transmitter Battery and Charger Not Included with AS3X and Safe Select “Cripes A’Mighty 3rd” EFL089500 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vgJziIScL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Looking to buy a war bird rc, this is the only one i have interest in so far. my only question is what material is this made of?** A: The planes made by Eflite are generally made of foam.
