FlightlineRC P-38 Lightning "Pacific Silver" Flight Review 

I have had my old E-flite P-38 going on 9 years now and still fly it regularly. After seeing this model it will be added to the flightline.

AWESOME video , love watching them great job!! Keep em coming!! Plan on flying my brand new P40 with A3-L soon and can't wait!! Great job!!

cool plane perfect size this one's coming to England soon sweet ;-)

Man, love that plane! P-38, personal favorite.

Very nice!do the wings come apart for easy transport to and from the field ?thanks

Hello?..... That's 3 positions not 2 on your flaps. landing, medium and full.

Ok, ok, ok. This is hands down the best flight demonstration of any product I have seen. You guys nailed it! Great flying, great plane, tons of history right back to Lindbergh. I can't wait until they come up with a bigger one - on two 6s batteries! Keep up the great work! Thanks for posting.

at rec CG if i had 2 3ooo's were you said my CG is off by about 10mm.so? i put 2 4000's at 2nd hole got perfect CG just saying but is it me or is the CG always 10mm off in the book so you crash and buy another? LOL

What is best training plane to buy that train me to buy this plane? Thanks

P38 with a selfie stick! I want one.

if I want to fit a3l gyro in my bf 109 is the setting still the same? ( I use dx6i radio)

You're such a great pilot. Love watching your videos!

Wonders if that pickup truck is in every vid lol

Not all gear doors are closed. Nose gear didn't retract fully, causing the front landing gear door to be stuck in the open position. 9:17

Super awesome Super fast Super review. I love it !

WOW!!!! What a Beauty ... Great job as always ......

You mentioned the elevator was mixed with the flaps as prescribed by the manual. The manual I have states that the elevator neutral position is 4mm up and the recommended elevator L/R is 1.5mm down and H/R 3mm down. This still has the elevator as up when the flaps are deployed at both positions. Your video clearly shows the elevator neutral point starts as "0" neutral, not 4mm up.

Such a beautiful plane. Liked the FPV footage, would like to see more of that! So you're getting 8 min of mixed flying on 2x3000mAh 4S? That's really pretty good. If you opted for a non-scale style prop, would it increase the efficiency even more? Great video as usual!

You convinced me! I'm getting one! Thanks man!👍

One thing I have learned is the tempture has a lot to do with flight time. I have found out in cooler weather I seem to have more flight time where as in hot weather it is less.

Hello your P-38 look amazing now I want one doze it have a fonctionnal rother ?

I'm guessing this plane is not well suited for aerobatics ?

I maidened mine last week. I set it up exactly as specs in manual. All it needed off the bench was a click or two of Ail. trim, and it flew like it was on rails. Very satisfied with this plane. It looks like the real-thing when she banks and catches the sun on the silver paint. Warning…she comes down like a meteor at low power with zero flaps. It was windy that day gusting to 15kts and I had to land with a stout bounce without them…was glad I went ahead and installed the upgraded oleo struts, however…the larger 3" DUBro tires mounted to the upgraded main struts DO Not fit the main wheel wells…I almost toasted a retract when the tires bound up on the wells. The 2.5" DUBro fit the nose well with no problem…only the mains were too big, (when mounted to the "upgraded" shock absorbing struts. The OEM tires are not quite as cool, but they fit the wells perfectly. I am really liking this plane! SHe is not a fast-roller, but neither was the real one. If flown to scale, you will be very pleased with how this model flies.

I think that it's the perfect size. Any smaller and it would not have the same presence

very cool!!

This plane won't look good in the video but it will look very well in person.

Beautifull

Camera on the front changes the flight characteristics.

I want one!

Hey guys, how easy is this to transport? Do the wings detach easy?

i got this plane and am looking to extend the range so I can fly head tracked digital FPV. Any thoughts on battery?

This is perfect for the begginer.

Cool plane people! I would have liked it to be a bit smaller (like 1100-1200mm).. but still: very nice plane!

My dream plane since the 1st day i got in the sport 4 years ago. I might be a little “risk adverse” waiting 4 years, but I’d like to get it down in one piece, 2 pieces at worst. I got the landing gear upgrade, extra props, extra spinners, and an extra nose. If I’m going down, I’m going nose/prop/spinner first.

Looking a the prop to ground clearance it doesn't look like it would fly from a short grass runway :(

Nice 👍🏿

It's still a foam airplane and foam is for coolers not airplanes.
