Volantex RC - P-51 Mustang - Red Tail 750mm - Sunny Calmer Flight "2" 

Anonymxs. _ Agreed

I'm very happy to have her in my life ;) I'm also very fortunate that she films for us!!!

Your wife rocks!

everything fits good here :)

for sure!

you're welcome - thank YOU G Bro!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Kevin Trappen Welcome

Thanks for stopping in Kevin! Glad you're here with us!

Thanks!

WHAT!!! An Avian Rx in this plane??!??! I bet it's way better! Did you add flaps?

@@BrianPhillipsRC No flaps. It would have been really short flaps and besides she flies slow as she is. But I did add LED the other day so a pretty sweet bird now and man it's fun to fly.

Great to hear! I felt she flew kinda poor, especially in comparison to her little sister, the 400mm "micro" series P-51.

@@BrianPhillipsRC The Eachine micro does fly really good. I managed to do a 15 min non stop flight with it.

​@@BrianPhillipsRC Does a 3s battery solve the problem? Thinking about getting this plane as I dont want to shell out for a UMX P51 as I'd have to get a new tx

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching - Come back for more ;)

Thanks Chris! It was that!!!

Thanks DragonBall King!

Hi there Joel!

enjoy your beaver ;)

I think it's pretty straight forward. Open the plane, plug a servo in, and then actuate it with the switch on the Transmitter. IF it works, you'll be ready to cut them in, or add some split flaps :)

yes, and it's hard to get rid of on this plane, since there's no way to get the CG right with such a small battery opening.

Yes 2 blade works great on these warbirds 4 props is extra 3 prop on these when one breaks makes it shake unless it’s positioned like the P39 or spitfire tri prop

Interesting...

I don't have any plans to use a bigger lipo. Sorry you've been waiting for so long. That seems like longer than it should be. Maybe you should talk to Banggood and see what's going on.

Thanks!

I haven't investigated enough yet. You can turn it off with one of the channels, but I haven't done it myself. You may also need to make a THREE or more position switch. That might be why you're not having luck???? DeviationTX is way more frustrating to use than Spektrum, but I'm super bias to it as that's how I learned.

Try putting on the ground and powering it down, then plug in the power and hold the sticks down and away from each other. Soon you'll hear everything "center". I suspect this will resolve your gyro issue, but give it a try.

Sometimes they take FOR-EVER and with Chinese new year, the whole country just about shuts down!

@Arduino Stein conspiracies everywhere!!!

It's the "gyro / stabilizer" working ..... The gyro in this plane is not top quality .... Simply switch to "Expert Mode" that disconnects the "gyro/stabilizer" ..... Cheers Lisbon - Portugal

This is the stabilizer over-correcting. It's generally called oscillation

@@BrianPhillipsRC exactly ...!

kurt mccune I was thinking about getting that because of how cool it looks with the gear and it’s not a expensive plane because no retracts

@@CaptainJohn ..I agree.. but i know me and by looking at my shelf, with so few days here actually wind-ably fun to fly i already have favorites. if its not as good for whatever reason beyond my tunability, ie Tx, Its going to be a shelfie.. I'm fairly new to planes been racing quads, i'm sure if i really wanted to i could probably change Rx.

kurt mccune Oh yeah, well hopefully some not so windy days come in for ya!

Sorry Kurt for the super slow reply! I think I accidentally skipped over your comment the other day!!! My bad! I agree that using the spektrum gear is way more reliable and definitely a competitive advantage. I can't believe how much easier some of these planes are to fly with a proper Transmitter, BUT....if you're new to the hobby, expecting someone to buy a proper transmitter, if a pretty high bar for the average consumer....so I like the RTF options for someone that's just getting their whistle wet.

Sport Cub 500 - better, but easier too. If you want more of a challenge you will want the P-51

I have this plane and I dont recall seeing a separate gyro board in it... it appears all built in to the receiver. So, if there's not a satellite type hookup jack (like Mr Phillips showed on the OMP planes the other week), then you'd have to remove the stock receiver (w/it's gyro) to add in your AR620. If I remember when I get home from work, I'll open mine up and see if there's any marked port/jack for satellite type receiver hookups. ETA: when I say 'satellite', my understanding in this context is that this is a 'secondary' receiver on the plane, piggy-backed off the primary one... not a 'GPS device'. If that understanding is incorrect, forgive me...call it whatever it should be called then. I am just referring to the notion of a 2nd receiver being connected up. It has a 5th servo connx, maybe that can be used for a piggyback receiver?.. I have no idea. I'm not real versed in the tech details..the manual that comes with the plane is very thread-bare. The servo connectors are the normal 'JR' style I think?.. the black, thin 3-on-a-line orange-red-brown wire-colors type we're all used to.. which would plug in to any normal 3-pin-per-servo receiver. I have never used s-bus, so can't speak to that, but if you're an s-bus guy, you surely would already know how to convert a 3-pin servo plug to use for s-bus.

jamesohoh7 Wow thanks for the help, I’m not sure. I’m not worried about the “AS3X” as you may call it. I like planes with no stability because I’m wired... but yes I’ll have to look into it

I would NOT. This plane is not a good flyer without a gyro in my experience...there something about the size. It stalls fairly FAST, and lands even faster. If you're an experienced pilot, you could definitely do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Brian Phillips Thanks, I’m not a super pro flyer but my first RC plane was a harbor freight p-51 with no stabilization and I didn’t crash it 1/10 if the times. But yeah thank you just wondering!

If it's the same size and capacity, that's no problem at all!

It's a proprietary board. I don't know for sure if you can buy it separately. If I got a PNF I'd get a Lemon-RX receiver for it... ( 7Ch DSMX Rx,Stab,DivAnt amzn.to/2GTlQze / ebay.to/2XNteGf eb ) This will give you the ability to setup a better stabilizer.

Slow down the plane, and it'll oscillate less, but you can also change the hole position on the elevator or ailerons to make the output less...this will help, but you may already be in the outer most hole. If you're already in the outermost hole, get creative and make the control arm longer...you'll be super surprised how well this works,

It won't fly away, unless you stop flying it ;)

You mean, how much trim?

@@BrianPhillipsRC yep thought the bigger battery would make it noise heavy

Nick, the maiden flight for this plane was pretty windy, an it did okay. The landing gear would want to come off for grassy field landings, in my opinion. You can land on grass with the gear installed, but it will nose over immediately. P.S. Sorry for the slow reply...I must have missed the notification from your comment - Sorry about that Nick!

@@BrianPhillipsRC The warehouse in the U.S. is empty right now. I might move on in something else. There's now way shipping costs can be equally to planes price point. Thanks Bri. I know the big virus epidemic has customer's on alert. Been waiting for a kit from China for a long time now. Cheers bro. Say hi to the Misses for me. Love you bro!

They have changed this one for years, and it's been a long time since we filmed this particular plane. It's possible they've changed the canopy.

Not sure, sorry. It's small enough that you'll probably loose sight of it before it disconnects from the Tx.

The onboard gyro is part of the Rx, so if you're installing your own receiver, then you will only be able to use yours. BUT I bet it will fly BETTER than the stock stabilizer.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian I think I will l fit a standard receiver

It was somewhere around 4ish VDC per cell, so about 0.2VDC per cell...about 1/3 the normal charge after flying. Generally, 3.80 VDC is the accepted "storage" charge level, so I was surprised to see it at this higher level.

Wow..how much this model?

Tape is good. I use hinge tape. It has lines through it. I wonder if Bri will get shipping costs down. I really like the park flyer mustang. 😂 It's over $150 shipping cost. Because of the epidemic? Update . It has to be escorted by F16 Chinese fighter. .Embargo stuff.

nick kennedy - I spoke to my contact at Banggood, and she said they don't have any discount, BUT they're working on getting a container to US Warehouse for better rates soon ;) :) :)

Ross Pierce - I would just use clear scotch tape, and stick it along the tail, then press it into the gap as you transition from the fuse to the rudder, then do the same on the OTHER side too. You'll be amazed how well it works.

Thank you for the reply much appreciated

I don't recall, but this plane is a tough one....CG is ULTRA sensitive, and have to fly at 75% of full speed to land, but gear are weakly attached...so better be a smooth strip! Good luck! When you're ready for an AMAZING experience...get the 1.2m from EFlite. bprc.me/P51 bprc.me/NX10 2200mAh 4S 30C bit.ly/3cGIe3G S2200 bit.ly/3b2wp7y

Thanks :)

High wing makes the plane fly easier, since it wants to "hang" level (or more level). This P-51 would NOT be a good beginner plane. It's kinda "hard" to fly.

@@BrianPhillipsRC got it , many thanks!!

I have another larger plane on my list, but not sure the timing. I'll be doing something newer soon, so stay tuned :)

Yep - we're all so lucky she helps me out!!!

This plane is pretty tough to fly compared to others...something about the high wing loading of the 750mm size...I don't think it's 3S compatible, and the smaller the ESC and Motor, the more likely you'll catch her on fire with a larger pack...so I'd suggest no, BUT I haven't tried it myself. If you really want 3S power, you MIGHT consider this... P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku ...which is a bit more, but a TON better. Also, this is a BNF... I just don't want you to be dis-satisfied.

@@BrianPhillipsRC. Ok, yeah.! The eflite p51 1.2m it's nice, and I got those batteries 2200amh, but I have the spektrum dx6 R.C. , For the eflite mustang will I be able to use the safety select, flaps and retract lending gear.? Thanks.

You don't...just plug in the battery and place it on a level surface ;)

UMX Turbo Timber is amazing, and this plane is a tie for the worst P-51 I've ever flown. Don't want to burst your bubble, but this plane is the worst one... We have tons of other P-51 reviews and they're pretty much all better. This one for whatever reason, is super popular.

Also, if you're an experienced RC pilot, you could easily fly this, but you'll be annoyed with it's performance compared to an eflite 1.2m which is 100X better.

@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for the input!

I've got links in the description, please check there, as the prices change from time to time - sorry about that!

Not sure, it's in the video.

It calls for 3S, I thought...

MrHelidude I believe it’s called that for many reasons. Mainly because only the Tip stalls in certain parameters. Wingtips stalk first so the plane will “roll” to the side with the stalled wing because lift is depleted. A normal stall can also Result in a roll but its not nearly as aggressive. Hope that helps

Thank you. Always hear it at model flying places. Must be an RC term as in real planes we just mainly refer to a stall as a stall (which may result in a spin - incipient spin ). www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Aerodynamic_Stall_Awareness_and_Avoidance ++ www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2508.pdf

MrHelidude - yeah, it's a "made up" thing, but it communicates exactly what I mean to say. Stall induced spin...like the F-14 in Top Gun ;) only Goose doesn't die!

Ha ha. Thank you. I am not trying to be silly and picky but it's just that we always hear that term when someone crashes their model radio control aeroplane and always wonder why do they add the extra word "tip" to the word stall.. We don't hear that in aviation. Thank you Brian and many happy greetings ..... 🙃 Love your videos and the filming is just awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fella ThaBarber Did you ever get it back?!

Range test is not an included feature on these awesome RTF transmitters - LOL :)

Captain John - How do you think I got mine?!??!?! LOL

theoztreecrasher - perfect directions ;) Loved it!

@@CaptainJohn no!...im just going to get another one🤘🏾

こんにちは！ 購入したい場合は、ビデオの説明にリンクがあります。 がんばろう！ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hi there! If you'd like to buy one, there's a link in the video description. Good luck!

LOL - I think it was a bit too far away in this video, since there was snow still on the ground :)

I have and have been shut down more times than I can count on my fingers and toes ;) I'm already very lucky to have her involved to the degree that she is....most would be happy to get the spending approval I've worked out, let alone dragging her into filming and the like - I'm pretty blessed to have her around.

Sounds like my wife too:) Good luck. And thanks for all your very informative videos. I am new to the hobby and I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks again:)

My buddy, Esteban was in denial about how blind he really was, and got glasses, then he said he could see so much better that his depth perception was greatly improved....not saying that this is your problem, but might be worth looking into??? Seeing is very helpful. I have had LasicPlus twice (1st time and touch up)...as I was BLIND before (Well, not legally Blind, but almost)....Best $3,500 I ever spent! Also, a trick that works for me (most of the time) is to see an object out a waze, and then use that as a size reference...like my mailbox, or the fence post...I know about how big they are, and that tells me when I'm close. It's not totally foolproof, but it's a great way to gauge distance. Either way, I love flying, and do it a lot! Hope I'll still be flying (legally) in a few short years ;( remote ID - what a farce!!!

I've solved the tail wagging by adding adhesive between the servo board and the main wing, I suspect it was adding some oscillation feedback to the gyro.

I can't blame you for not wanting to do business with them, if that's been your experience. I'm sorry that your experience has been crap, but gotta keep in mind, with Chinese companies (ANY of them....) you have to take it with a "Buyer be ware" kinda attitude...then just hope for the best. I know that's crappy, but this is the world we live in :(

I agree with you Paul good prices but stuff arrives like they towed it from the tail of the plane then dropped off using a touch n go with a parachute. Anyone know of a company that use banggood that ships have way decent and not a combat drop? Thanks, Craig

That would be more historically accurate ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Yes sir it would.
