    First reviewer to talk about the excess torque on take-off. I've struggled with this, but I've sort of minimized this by shimming the landing gear to tilt them forward.

    Hey Brian, thanks for the straight up honest review of the Arrows P-51. One thought to mention, is that all of your efforts of working through this model are what model planes is about. We have been spoiled with great innovations over the years with the progress of technology. True modeling used to take time and refinement of each model to get it to a state of fly ability. Modeling is a craft. Thank you for sharing your insights and experience with us all. A bit of history. I started on control line with my father and uncle. Thanks.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 2 lety

      You're 100% right, and we are totally spoiled these days, which makes my life easier, but also makes a plane that's rock solid, but requires even the smallest amount of work, to SEEM, in comparison to be no-good....I choose to reject this notion. This plane is great, but does require a bit of effort to work through the battery choice and CG. Hope this message wasn't misunderstood.
      Thanks for being here with us Jeff!

    i used a 12" metal ruler heated on the stove to slightly expand to opening. the roof of the cavity is thin so be careful up there. the battery cavity floor is thicker and will tolerate more. i believe that melting is better than removal. be conservative with the heat till you figure out how hot. a slow melt at a lower temp is safer than an impatiently fast melt with a hotter ruler

    @Bill14886 Před 2 lety +1

    Brian it's real easy to open the battery pocket to except a 4s. Old butter knife , bend it and heat it up with a propane torch. I used a thin piece of sheet metal and plyers to hold it. Melted a little at a time until perfect. Added a nice layer of white duck tape so it's slick . Easy to install and remove battery. I fly mine old school. No AS3X or safe. I even pulled the tail servo and fabricated a longer servo arm. Hogged out a lot of foam to give myself lots of tail and rudder travel. I also installed metal gear aileron servos. Awesome Flying but still takes good reflexes to land on a short runway.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC

    Hi Brian,
    I wanted to add a tip on the Arrows P-51. I measured the Spektrum 3S 2200 Smart battery and found a Spektrum G2 4S 1800 Smart battery with the exact same dimensions, but slightly heavier. It works great! It is also 50C, so it is really snappy on this battery! I set my timer to 6 minutes and start setting up a landing at 5 minutes. For me, 6 minutes works well! 👍

    Brian, excellent work by you and the camera crew, as usual. Just to keep every new viewer from asking, maybe it should say somewhere in your video description: " YES, the Eflite June Nite P-51 is easier to fly than the Arrows Mustang." Personally, I was interested in the Arrows for its size and transportation advantage over my June Nite, but I'll take the better flying plane any day, even if it means having to call a UPS truck to drive me to the flying field...

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před rokem

      I don't want to take anything away from the Arrows P-51 1.1m - it has many strengths, but it is harder to fly and harder to setup than the 1.2m from Eflite. That being said, it's not bad flying, it just takes more tweaking to get it up to snuff with it's bigger sister from another mother ;)

    Great timing and great work Brian, Im seriously looking at this Mustang and cant seem to find any YT video other than yours that shows the quirks this warbird has. Just got the hang of my Dynam Bf109 1.20m so you could say Im familiar with P-factor, but it seems like this one has a stronger tendency. I dont remember having to use that much rudder to overcome it. Just the same I think I will get this one cause its so "purrty"😊

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 2 lety +1

      I was very surprised just how strong the P-Factor was, and as for "quirks" - we try not to cover for any of these things, but rather take them on, and fix them so you can see if the effort was worth while - I suspect you agree, it was ;)

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 2 lety

      Not enough control input to offset....there's the moment when airspeed makes controls go "Alive" while the SAFE and AS3X will help, they won't totally compensate for the immense P-Factor, especially if you don't have enough rudder.

    Brian, I got myself one of these after watching the latest Top Gun movie. The P-51 shown is so gorgeous, I couldn’t resist.
    Now, after breaking it in half twice on grass field takeoffs, I’ve opted to watch your experience only to find out that I should’ve watched these before! 😂.
    The plane sucks to takeoff on grass fields. It doesn’t give time to correct and although between all those flights I had luck with some takeoffs, they sure weren’t pretty.
    I’ve opened up the foam to fit a 3200 4S in there, but the one thing I see nobody talking about is the ESC and motor handling that much more voltage.
    Using a wattmeter, I measured 50 amps at peak RPM. The ESC on this plane is rated for 40. What are your thoughts?

      My fear is having the ESC fail, making the rest of the electronics fail on me.
      Our field (Beattie Field in RI) is quite close to the Highway, thus safety is strictly enforced (with good reason).

      Definitely made a HUGE difference! Not only the CG, but the additional oomph of the 4S helps get out of trouble easily.
      Arrows should make these changes; else this plane is nearly impossible to fly nicely on/from grass fields.

    I got my first big rc plane, it’s the Carbon Cub s2 1.1mm, I crashed it, broke the nose which it is fixable with glue, I am nervous about flying, do I just have to fly and crash a few times before I can get used to flying a big plane?

    This plane regardless of a heavier battery will probably stall on take off if on a grass strip. So much up elevator will be needed to avoid nose over that takeoff will be at too low an airspeed and unless you are quick to kick opposite rudder instead of an instinctive right aieleron, the left wing is going to eat grass. This is typical of the Arrows warbirds line up. Don't even attempt grass.

    Its the P-51 platform that just flies poorly.
    Severe P factor makes impossible to flat turn right & gives severe throttle yaw coupling. Non streamline stubby body & wings make it touchy & unpredictable. Politely called MAUVERABLE ..I guess since WW2 P51 pilots themself didn't know which way it was going, how Germans figure & that made it a success.
    I prefer Spitfire everyday over P-51, though it has its own idiosyncrasies. It not being a US plane, unfortunately never get any small Spitfires, let alone 2s brushless.
