This HobbyKing P-51 'Galloping Ghost' is a model that came into the shop recently for review. At a 1016mm wingspan, it's a neat little hand toss model. Assembly was super quick and the finish is really nice. While the model doesn't include all of the modifications that were present on the full scale, it still looks cool in flight and is a nice homage to the full scale. The model can be flown on a 4s 2200mah pack that gave 4+ minute flight times. For hand launching, a stiff under arm toss works well with the power at about 2/3 throttle. There is a high performance upgrade as well which will be covered in a separate video. :) #GallopingGhost #TheRCGeek #HobbyKing

If anybody has had the Parkzone P-51 , that was a fun flyer , many of us had one and stuck in a faster motor ,higher amp esc and flew it on 4s . This kinda would replace that . Im going to buy one when they come in stock at US HK

@royperry4219 3 года назад

The Parkzone P-51 was an outstanding foamie. I still have two . I ordered a HK P-51.

@calebshuler1789 3 года назад

@rafaeltorres2886 2 года назад

It's on Back order in the U.S. I ordered one on 8/10/21 it's 9/2/21 and they don't know when they'll get more. Ok they have more now and I got mine I'm going to install a standard reciever with Hobby Eagle stabilizer.

@volksyes9477 3 года назад

Love the plane and great review as always, also why do I have a strong feeling that you will clip the wings of the high powered version. Just like the real one did when it was still around. I could be wrong. But yeah keep them coming 🤘🤘

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

We’ll see because they really clipped the wing on the full scale, haha! It would be fun to clip it a touch and also remove the radiator scoop underneath just for fun. My concern would be successfully launching it though, I’m so bad at hand launching, haha!

@volksyes9477 3 года назад

@terryperrott9913 3 года назад

Very sleek, when you CG'd it how come inverted ?? Any particular reason?

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

It was just simpler that way. Cg-ing inverted or right side up, it doesn’t matter.

Hey! When are the videos from WBAC coming out?

Should be the next week or two. 😊

@motiv311 2 года назад

Just bought this.... PS I see some grass and dirt you could land in right next to your "runway"

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Cool! The grass strip on the side isn't very wide at my field and the dirt is quite rocky. So, better off just landing on the runway usually.

@lancelatta7456 3 года назад

Looks a bit softer landing right next to the concrete runway. Aim for that strip of grass on landing. I hand launch a lot, overhand like you are throwing a paper airplane works way better for me. Another good video. can't wait to hear about the motor upgrade.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thanks! A good idea, but the area next to the runway isn’t as soft looking as it looks, haha! It’s also not very wide either unfortunately. Otherwise that would be the way to go for sure.

@anthonydennis4834 3 года назад

Do I see a new soon to be released F-14 in the background on the table at 0:43?

Where can I get that gauge you used to adjust your Ella run labs etc. etc.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Unfortunately it’s a piece of hardware that great planes made that has been discontinued. I’ve been trying to figure out how to source something similar to sell them, but so far no luck. 😕

Hey Chris, ole' buddy, how could I get a set of those decals you made...I can pay in US currency, that I actually earned while working an actual job, in the aviation field! PS, have you seen the vid where it goes 180mph?

I only have the numbers, if that’s what you’re looking for? Shoot me an email through my contact form and we can talk more about it.

@yarsmythe 3 года назад

Looks like the same mold as the Tower Hobbies P-51 Racer Red.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Could be. Someone else mentioned that too and looks similar.

@johnw5734 3 года назад

Why is it a cool subject plane? I'm sorry but I just have bad feelings around the ill-fated Ghost. Will you be pulling a 17G back stick and dive into a group of Lego figures.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Bad feelings indeed...despite the very sad end and the terrible loss of those in the crowd, it was an iconic Reno racer and it as well as the victims on the ground should all be remembered.

@johnw5734 3 года назад

@@Thercgeek Yes, you're right.

@TMB5BER 3 года назад

You could say the same about Chris’s Tomcat , after Dale passed , but it’s better to fly it and remember and honour those pilots and people involved while you do it

@guaporeturns9472 2 года назад

@floridamancomedy3151 3 года назад

You should defiantly replicate the Reno air show crash with it, set up a bunch of maniquans, over power the motor and dive bomb them…..sorry that was a bad idea

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

I think I’ll pass on that one... 😉

@gordonfraser6025 3 года назад

Hobby king have got it so very wrong tith the choice of this particular aircraft colour scheme. This is the Mustang that dived into the crowd at the Reno air races a couple of years back. Very bad taste Hobbyking. You could of done any other scheme other than this one.

@Mikeylikesit1968 3 года назад

what about the WW2 planes that killed many people in the war , so its ok to make planes like that. The plane didnt kill the people, its the people that did a poor job maintaining the plane. Real planes crash all the time and they still make models airplanes of those that crashed.

@williamdecker3989 2 года назад

Worst Air show disaster in US history, I agree. I watched the race when it happened. They could have picked so many other schemes than this one! Pilot & 10 killed, 69 injured badly.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

There’s been mixed reactions emotions across the board to the scheme. It was an absolute terrible disaster, but it shouldn’t be forgotten either and the airplane still represents a very notable piece of aviation history.
