#rc #airplane #p51
So i maidened this today. It was nerve wracking bc im a beginner and probably shouldnt fly this yet but i did it anyway. After 30 minutes of figuring out ground handling, a few nose overs, and a lot of cancelled take offs i finally committed and i was off. Safe was on and bc i was flying up and down a lane with both sides having 50 to 70 foot trees i went pretty high and immediately went mid flaps and dropped the gear so i could land. Hands were shaking so bad that the plane was fishtailing slightly due to rudder input. I circled a few times then landed, with a nose over ending my maiden. 2 more flights later the plane is still without damage save for a scuffed up prop. Im so excited to fly again tomorrow when i have more room. This video is the most comprehensive and beginner friendly guide/review of this plane ive seen and i really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put in!
I'm so excited for you Matthew! I completely get it, and you're nerves are what make this hobby SO REAL! You will feel so alive when you fly these things, and if you don't, might want to check your pulse ;)
AWESOME! Good work, and keep it up...get a spare prop if you think you're gonna keep nosing over. They're not too bad, but you WANT ONE...Also, if you break off a blade, and you're left with 3...just break off one more and you can make it fly some more ;) Two opposing blades will actually fly great still, provided it's balanced close to even...we've done it a million times.
Good luck...
P.s. If you want to order parts, you can follow the link in the video description, but just click on the plane and then scroll down and you'll see "REPLACEMENT PARTS" or you can follow the "master links...(see below) and then just search like any other time you visit the site. This will help support us, as you have done in the past - THANK YOU!!!

Seriously, good for you. Keep flying, but don't kill the plane. Don't be afraid to land in the grass, but you'll have to fix stuff...if you need too, put the gear UP and belly land it SLOOOOOOW ;)
i fly the P51-D i have both the EFLITE P51-D 1.5 AND THE FMS P51-D RED tail 1.7MM as for the nose overs i never use the flaps to take off always use flaps up and go into the power real slow power into the plane and hold that right rudder on landing use flaps to slow it down but at the last second before the wheels hit the ground i flaps up to avid the nose over i fly off grass so i never use flaps on take off only to slow the plane down before touchdown
I can relate! I just did my maiden yesterday. It was my first hobby grade rc plane flight. I was shaking. 😂. Had a couple nose overs, but was a great flight on safe as well. Will turn off safe on my next flight. I'm feeling confident, or stupid, only time will tell. 😂
Watch you so much feels like we are friends. Love the looks of the four blade propeller
I recognize your name Tim - but if you ever see me in person, remember, I don't know what you look like ;) LOL It's happened a few times, and it's weird for me - LOL!
Got to thank you. I've watched so many videos on transmitter programming but never got the gist of it. Your video finally tripped the switch of understanding. Took a bit but I now have my Carbon Cub S with 3 rates dialed in and my June Nite programing was right the first time. Watching you program was the key for me. Thanks again. Expo is next.
So great to hear! Thanks Mark!
Well as I had commented on your reply yesterday I'm about to watch this video again to set up my new radio The NX6. Thank you again for having the patience to give such in-depth reviews and instructions. My best to you and your family.
Thanks David! Good luck. Great plane, You will LOVE IT!
I was looking forward to your NX6 review, got that and a beautiful P-51D thrown in also. Brian, really appreciate the time and effort you and your wife put into these reviews, believe me, they're the best on youtube.
Thank you for stopping by P Rigley! We're glad we could help you out! The NX6 is way better than I expected ;)
Great video, I can’t wait until I can fly like you!!!
Brian, I want to thank you and your wife for your hard work, bringing us extremely detailed and thorough reviews of these aircraft, where the alternative would see us blindly guessing as to what plane to choose and what we were getting into. I was unsure as to whether I wanted to start R/C planes as a hobby, so I used your video reviews of the Eachine warbirds to pick them as my starting aircraft. With the maiden of the Eachine P51 I experienced R/C flight and was left speechless. Suffice to say I'm hooked, and again, because of your video reviews, I'm going to buy a Mini Apprentice RTF as my next plane as a learning step-up from Eachine warbirds. And again, because of your hard work and this video, I'm going to buy this June Nite P51, put it into storage, and then build and fly it once I've decided I've become good enough with the Mini Apprentice. I just have one question: will the DXS that comes with the Mini Apprentice be good enough for this June Nite P51 and other planes? Or should I invest in a better transmitter? Thanks again for everything...
You're one of the main reasons we keep doing this. So glad you're getting hooked!!!!
As for the DXS - If you're getting hooked, I need to tell you about the "Dark side" of RC - now you need an expensive transmitter ;) If you KNOW you're hooked, which it sounds like you are - you might want to consider getting the NX8 or NX10 now, and then you'll be set from some time to come. I don't want to mislead you in any way, but at the end of the day, the RTF's are going to set you up with more items you will end up "discarding" as you advance through the ranks, whereas, if you buy BNF you can save a lot of cash through your first few planes. You might even find that this "investment" (terrible choice of words - this is a hobby, NOT an investment...but you GET it) will pay you back in cost difference between the RTF's planes you might otherwise get and same BNF planes you get instead.
Just run the numbers, and remember that you'll have a LOT better transmitter that you will NEVER regret buying. I've had a number of high dollar transmitters (talking about what I BOUGHT...not for review), and I've never regretted any of them.
Tx bit.ly/3f4JhZl - I suggest you seriously consider the NX8 - it is VERY good...you don't want to get the one with the reciever (Seems it would be a good deal if you were getting an AS3X/SAFE equipped rx...but this one is not)
....oh, but YEAH, you can technically use DXS...but I wouldn't - you'll need flaps and SAFE select controls, and EXPO to make her fly the way I share.
Good luck! Keep at it!!!
What I love is the way you're telling us what you're doing on the controls, I used to do silly things like forget I left the flaps down the whole flight or forgot to restart the timer, you have kind of trained me to fly the way you do, much more like a real pilot. The long videos are awesome we get a real in-depth idea on battery and flight times, shout out to the camera crew 😎👍
So glad to hear you say this. Some love the long videos, and some hate them ;) I guess I will stick with the long videos since they're having the positive impact we want to make in the RC community!
Thanks RADIO FLYER!
100% agree. Oral checklist. 1 in 100 times camera crew calls out something the pilot forgot to do proving that its not all for show. All it takes is one slip and you need 40 stitches in your ankle, or worse. We all know when youre flying, you are likely not flying while asleep and thoughts and calculations, and anticipations are being made. Its great to hear the brain dump during flight....and even in the shop during builds, upgrades and repairs.
keep it up! The plane, and the good work.
@@BrianPhillipsRC oh definitely don’t shorten your vids. You are my go to channel not only for the entertainment, but what I really love are the radio setup portion. Since this Covid hit no one in my area is taking in new people in to their flying clubs, so I’m on my own and never fly rc before, but between RealFlight 9.5 from Horizon Hobby and your videos I actually trained myself to fly my Turbo Timber, and you have taught me to program my Spektrum radio(with your videos). Did I mention I’m 57 years old too? So yes, it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks 😆. Thanks again for your excellent videos, don’t stop, and don’t shorten. Please.
Brian I always learn something new when I watch your videos. That explanation you gave about deflection criteria as it pertains to the amount of torque applied to the servo strength and how it compares to the difference between accuracy and amount of deflection. In the many, many tutorials and videos I’ve watched and listened to, you are the only one that ever explained the difference.
Glad to help! There's a lot to learn, and I learn new stuff all the time, so just trying to share what I've picked up.
Ill be honest, no one gives a detailed review like you, thats why so many like your style
"Don't put the battery in your pocket" lol love it. Great job you guys. Hey I don't know if I ever told you guys but your new home looks amazing. Those garage doors in Brian's words are "Glorious". You guys always put a smile on my face. Thank you Greg
Glad you get it ;) Thanks G Bro!
Awesome ! Just LOve it Brian, keep up the good work. Nothing like the P-51 D. Great flying Brian ! Thanks so much for your reviews, and thanks also camera crew !
You're welcome! We're so glad that our audience keeps coming back!!! Camera crew is a blessing to all of us - she's great!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Your are sure one blessed man. I can't even get my better half to come watch me fly in our own back yard. Love your reviews makes a big grin on my face.
so I am addicted. followed your recommendations and got this, the smart 4s 3200, the s2100 charger and i went DX8E for transmitter. im gonna fly a high wing trainer for a good while to really learn the ins and outs of flying so i dont crash this baby but im in love with it. thanks for making your vids accessible to beginners!
Awesome Matthew! So glad you are doing that. I'm so excited for you!
Thank you both again!!! Bravo!!! Well Done!!!
Thank you too!
Love your videos! I’m always laughing as I reply “that’s what she said!” many times to your commentary! 🤣🤣🤣
So glad you enjoy this part of our videos. We genuinely enjoy filming these videos when they aren't Dynam builds - LOL - or when they're just way to long (That's what she said). Glad you're here with us!
Just got my T-28 and love it. Also love how you provide real unboxing with the good and bad. Great job and Great plane can't wait to fly it
We try our best. Love these companies we work with, but we work for YOU guy ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hey Brian, I have a T28 on backorder, and likely won’t get one anytime soon, but I’m thinking about canceling,and just picking this up instead. Do you think Horizon will get enough to fill out their back order? Or should I just pick this up instead,and get a Trojan later?
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew. Again no notification of video releases. Awesome video and review. The new NX radios are cool working on the nx 8 or 10. Thanks for the video keep flying you guys.
I wonder if you should click the bell, and then re-click it???
Good work. Love watching your reviews.
Glad you like them! - Thanks Rc Maniac!
transmitter setup part was really helpful, most people skip it but for those who are desperate its really great
Thanks! Glad you find it helpful :)
nice home an nice place to fly bro. congrats
Yes, thanks - we love it here! It's been decades of work getting to this point, but we LOVE it here ;) You guys have helped us making this a realty, so THANK YOU!!!
Over 3+ hours of video. I could have watched TWO movies. Well, I didn't fall asleep and it was interesting and informative. Thanks for all the NX introduction. I was really curious and wondering if it was going to be a huge jump in technology and worth the money to upgrade my DX8 gen2. Now I know I'll be staying with my current transmitter. The P-51 will be on my wish list now. Happy flying.
That's exactly why I wanted to show these details. I hope I hit the important details for you. I know Horizon Hobby would want me to to cover a bunch of stuff that's not important to me, but I know what I care about, and many others are in the same boat. This new lineup is going to be a GREAT upgrade when you're ready, but to be totally honest, I'm kind waiting for the NX10 or IX20 for a full on changeover ;)
Also, as for the 3+ hours of video. It's very appreciated, hearing your positive remarks. I know some will skip a lot of the video, and that's cool too. We don't really expect everyone to want to spend that long on the whole video, but I have a hard time figuring out what parts would be okay to dump??? We're just glad a few are getting something out of it.
P.S. If you get a good nap, that's also just fine my be too ;) LOL!!! I used to fall asleep in one class, RIGHT after lunch in college...and the professor was so cool about it...he would just make fun of me until I woke up. Class of 4-6 - only slightly embarrassing. Also, very good teacher too! He was very smart. VERY good teacher!
Awesome Review!!! Lots of great info, now I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Mark! Glad to have you here with us!
Just purchased this P-51D 1.2 from your link buddy. Also bought a Spektrum 3S 3200 as well a 4S 3200 to go along with it. Great review, keep up the good work!
Great to hear! Thanks Peter!!!! You'll LOVE it ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Where did you get this chinese screwdriver at 43:24 ?
ok sorry for the smart ass comment love the vids bro I really do they are an excellent way for me to decide what to buy next or if I will limke a plane or not by watching your build vids and watching you maiden these planes...Its probably saved many of us a lot of buyers remorse!!!
True. That's why we do it! you know, I kinda like "everything" but you guys are smart enough to KNOW when I'm not into somthing. Some planes are just better than others, and some are super applicational. I try to check my subjectivity, or at least mention my bias for one from anther, and also share why I think what I think...when appropriate. The hardest part is to go from a $550 plane to a $75 plane, and hearing people talk about how EXPENSIVE the $75 plane is - LOL - but I try to take into account how much the thing costs, when I pick it apart...if it's a $37, I set the bar REALLY LOW ;)
Great review as always Brian 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Nick!
Hi Phillips, Un vol superfluide, des atterrissages impeccables dans un magnifique environnement. "Déjà vu", certes, mais dont on ne se lasse pas. Unboxing one off the best one moment every time, pobably, Surprise ! Your video are perfect to improuved
my english enderstanding. I do not miss a single of your publication. I appreciate the order of your presentation and your precisions for any plane, this is clear
and informative. The P-51 is a classic subject in model RC plane. The safe landing whit GPS supposed inboard is significantly improvement for to prevent a crash. Take a care.
Thank you for checking all the videos out!!! I hope we can help you to sharpen your English skills! Speaking multiple languages is an amazing skill that I can't say I have, but would love to be able to lean more languages as I progress through life ;)
Also, one last thing that may have been lost in translation... There isn't any GPS on this plane, BUT there is SAFE (Sensor Aided Flight Envelope also known as Auto-Leveling). Don't want to confuse you or anyone who reads out interactions ;)
We're glad you've been with us so long. Thank you!
i was just thinking of getting this, looks sick
It is great. You won't regret this one. The whole 1.2m war bird series is very good!!!
Man, that is a LOT of information, but I maidened mine the day after Christmas and I agree it's as well-mannered as it is pretty. I wheel-landed it on the second flight. The AS3X really does make it fly like a much larger plane.
I'm glad you agree ;) this is an excellent example of a plane, as was the immediate predecessor, the 1.2m Blondie (I also had)
Love the look of this plane.
Me too - she's still a favorite after all these years ;)
Me and my wife watch all your videos and have learned a lot from them
Awesome Chris and wife! Glad to have you!!!
Wow man!! how lucky you are having your own rc field right outside your own front door beautiful property. Nice flying by the way.
Thanks mr. skydog!
@@BrianPhillipsRC don't mention it.
Maaannnzzz great flying!!! I’m thinking about getting one of these….
You should! P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI
Just bought this plane. Finally decided to get a plane stand too. Been wanting this plane for a long time. Figured I better get it before they discontinue it like the other plane I was about to buy😂
This plane, when discontinued, will be replaced with another awesome P-51. P-51's are the lifeblood of fixed wing RC aviation, but I'm so glad you decided to get this beauty. She is a well rounded, amazing flight experience. Great value for the money, and will give years of solid performance.
Good call!
3:50 stunning shot!
Thanks! This plane films very well!!!
Yeah. Very very good and beautiful plane
Indeed it is! Thanks Peter!
P-51D nice flight Bro
Thanks!
Thanks for what you do with these videos. nod to the camera crew also.
Our pleasure! Thanks Rick!
It flies like its on rails. Good piloting. This aircraft is iconic and you can still purchase a ride in one today although there are fewer and fewer flying every year. The history of its development is interesting. The bureaucracy resisted it, but it got built anyway and without it the bombers never could have reached Germany from England, and the war may have gone another way. Love watching these fly.
It is a great plane, and a wonderful Rc model! Love the P-51!
Greetings from Denmark, Brian. Just want to thank you for your indepth videoes. Waiting for I can place a order on the NX8, and then ill buy the June Nite 😁 think ill try it with 3s and 4s 2200mah smart batteries. Keep it up 👍🏻
Will do! Thanks Kasper!
Next to the large F/A-18 this is another beautiful aircraft.... Love the slow fly-bys.... "Cram and Ram" than the wife says "Its worth it".... LOL
It is worth it!!! ;)
I believe one of the selling points of the new NX series is Horizon Hobby BNF models are already programmed to recommended settings in one of the menus. Just select the model number (EFL8950 in this case) from that menu and all recommended settings are locked in. You can then fine tune to preference.
I know it's one of the selling points :)
Beautiful, Mrs. No will beat me if I buy another one so I got to wait and I need more flight time/experience, great video!
Mrs. No will beat me ----- LOL - best comment all morning!
I love planes and am beginner to the hobby looking forward to getting a lot of these planes.
Welcome to the club ;) You'll enjoy it here, for sure!!!
Especially watching these videos its great
Hey Brian, I run a 2700mah 4 cell in mine. I removed the straps and added velcro along the length of the tray. It slides in perfectly fine, and it holds the battery in great! Give it a try
I think that would be easier too. Good idea!
I bought this one for Xmas and also the A6M zero from e flight and talk about fun to fly . I’m not a beginner and the first flight on my P51 the prop kicked up a really small pebble and there went the prop. Second flight the rudder servo took a dump . I brought it home and replaced that servo . The mustang has a minor handling problem of wanting to tip forward with a 4s pack but that about it all . My Eflight A6M zero has absolutely no bad anything and I spent the day flying all day and 6 battery’s .
Cool Mark! Glad you had some good luck with the Zero. Was the ZERO by chance the FMS Zero? Eflite hasn't had a zero for a long time.
5:18
"It is kind of a pain to fit it in the hole just so you know...You're gonna have to cram and ram....But it's worth it....It's worth it...and it's good when you get it in" 🤭
You heard it first here on Brian Phillips RC - LOL - or what it health class in middle school...hummmmmm - LOL
Getting ready to purchase this plane !
Do it, you won't regret it...
P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku
It's a GREAT plane!!!
Olá 👋 parabéns 👏 👏 👏 👏 acabei de assistir. Achei maravilhoso, incrível. A criatividade do ser humano vai além. Parabéns 👏 👏 👏 👏 grande abraço. Sucesso
hi from the uk brian such a lovely plane
Hello there! Thanks Gary. I agree!!!
love the reviews Thanks .PS More
heli
Thanks Paul! Heli's coming ;)
right as i was thinking; man that looks like it flies on rails you said it. beautiful bird! i just got my hands on a rc gadgetz slick 540 phantom not a bad hybrid btw so light and floaty..
Very cool! Glad you're we're in tune ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC when you can feel it through the video.....🤣👊
next i shall finish up my dynam smart trainer, i just crammed a 1750w sunnysky 3520 in that B****😉🤷♂️ things are about to get interesting...
btw love the channel Brian Phillips & camera crew, it seems natural and i like how real you two are! wish i could get my wife into flying, ill be like lets go fly...? she's like🤨🤦♀️. it's ok though, more planes for the minime and myself😁.
Thanks for anothe awsame video
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
All of these beautiful WWII warbirds coming out look and fly so amazing!! have you ever considered installing an r/c sound system to get that scale engine noise as well? BTW, great job as always...by both of you! Say hey to your camera crew for us!! :) (When we gonna see her fly?) ;)
Not considering the flight sound system. I've kinda always thought they sound a bit "shallow"...but some day, maybe ;)
She doesn't fly, and doesn't have a lot of interest in it either. Sorry!
When I am going to be away from home for a few hours I put one one of your long videos and let my dogs watch it, just to support your channel. Don't tell CZcams ;) But they would appreciate more cat content
WHAT?!?!??! Now you're DOGS are gonna need new planes?!??!?!?!?! It's gonna get EXPENSIVE around your place John ;)
...and I didn't hear anything - LOL ;)
Love the model Plane, and can you do more of the bigger scale planes, love the detail in them and your flying skills. Thanks for the video!!!✈🛫🛬
I will, as they come - I have about 3 sitting behind me as I type ;)
Got my nx6 figured out the allen key is for the actual stick length up or down...👍 Had to actually read the manual to find this out .....dangit😂
Thanks Mike!!! Took one for the team ;)
Your home is beautiful
Thanks Tyson! If you want to see more about it, we actually have a HOUSE BUILD SERIES ;)
When we did this project, we knew we would want to go back and rewatch parts of it for help deciding things, or for help making future decisions.
Would like to see you demo the Horizon download presets for a specific model via the wifi on the NX6. And fly model as is without your tweaking per your liking. It would be a demo of how a newer flyer may experience flying before actually knowing how to expertly program a radio system.
That's not a bad idea. Maybe ;)
So close to 100,000
I know! We're like 75 from 100K right NOW at 11:18PM CST 5/19/2021 ;) We can both look back and see this in a year and who knows what things will be like then??!?!
Man this guy is good did you see that sunset it looked unreal had to rewind to see that sunset again
Thanks William! The sunset was gorgeous! only issue with the sunset at this time (When we filmed this video) is it's kinda bright, and obstructs my view of the power lines for a few critical minutes :(... Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained ;)
When I get my own place, I want to make a “little” R/C airstrip in the grass. I’ll groom it like a green on a golf course. 😎🤓😜
Should be able to take off and land on that with anything. Cool thing is though, I want to do it old school style. A circular area so you can take off and land any direction you want. Aerodrome I believe.
That would be very nice, but that'll be a very, VERY expensive grassy knoll!!! I wish you best of luck, and want to see it when you get it done, so please do share your video link or send me an email on the "Business Inquiries" when you get it done. We might do something like this in the "back yard"...but not sure I can afford the nice grass ;)
This video was great for me. I have a few planes, an aging DX6i, and am looking at getting back into flying.
Deciding on a DX8e or NX6/8 is tough, as well as which plane to get next. Night Timber X, this P51, or another aerobat like the Extra or Ultimate. Someday I may go with one bigger plane like the bigger Cub or P-51 1.5m. Hence considering an 8ch radio.
You won't regret the NX8...if the price jump from NX6 to NX8 doesn't put you off too bad, I'd go with that. The nice thing about the NX6, is that it's actually 7 channels ;)
Man it looks awesome. You do a heck of a job flying. Can't wait to get more experience to try a war bird. Certainly enjoy your videos. 👍
These planes are not so much harder than you might thing, but if you have a wide and long landing strip, you would be surprised how "easy" they can be to fly.
One idea for a possible solution to the hatch messing up the paint on the top/front of the fuselage: apply a thin coat of medium CA to the foam on the inside edge of the opening and let it harden. We used to do this on the front of our foam tires in RC car racing to keep the tires from chunking on high grip tracks. Let it harden is what she said-lol
Great idea!
Hi Brian great video as always thank you....how about a hanger video and give us fans a tour
Of your amazing aircraft collection that would be great...best wishes Chris
Coming soon! I gotta make it PART of another video....otherwise it looks like I'm trying to "show off"....even though I know many of my regulars would really appreciate it, it could come across wrong.
I put a 4S 5200mah in mine. Maiden flight coming soon. It's been super windy and I'm scared. lol... Biggest bird I've flown. I have it binded to safe, so fingers crossed. :)
HUGE!
@@BrianPhillipsRC it did perfect! In super high winds too! I'm going to fly with safe off today. We have less wind hopefully. I also ordered the turbo timber with floats. Will maiden it soon with the same pack, if it fits. 😁
Here is a quick one for you. Your order From best to least best 🤗
Eflite 1.2m
1. P51D
2. Corsair
3. Spitfire
I am going to buy 2 of them 😱 But my mind is wrecked about which one will be left behind!!!
Love your vids man ✈️
Easy...
1) P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku
2) F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m bit.ly/30jJUGy
3) 1.2m Spitfire is discontinued....but it would have been my last of the three anyway :)
You can run most of the 1.2 warbirds on 4S as they all use the same motor and ESC. I use the 4S on my eflite T-28, F4U Corsair and P-51. Don’t try it AT-6 without changing the ESC.
I've run my AT6 on 4S with good results too ;)
This plane is a joy on 3S or 4S, but love that Horizon came out and said it would be okay publicly.
Damn..... Such an awesome plane! Thanks for sharing. You make me want to spend toooooo much $$$$$- 😂😂
I'm sorry I'm killing your retirement account ;)
I feel like you can get into more trouble with 3s. When you flew with the 4s she was rock solid at slow speeds.
4S gives power to get out of trouble, but I do "ride the line" at times ;)
@2:09:03
hahaha. I just started doing that. Thought it was my idea. lol. I was doing it to turn safe on and off because I didn't have enough channels. Great minds think alike. ;)
Awesome!!! I've seen others do it, so can't claim any originality on my part either ;)
Got Brian giving us relationship advice nice! 😆
LOL you were listening :)
Amazing airplane, I have one and it is so awesome! By the way I want one more because is so beautiful!
The only thing to say, LOVE IT!
It really is!
Well another long video. (3:16:08 to be exact) Again I watched the whole damn thing! Why! I don’t know! I guess I must enjoy them. Just like the House Build. I just might get the NX8, don’t tel my wife. LOL
Thanks again for the video
Danny
Danny - do you really think she'll know the difference - LOL ;) You could get the IX20, and she's probably think it was the same thing ;) Try it...
...I'll check for the obituary :) LOL (do it - iX20 bit.ly/38XUA1I ) JK
Thank you, by the way...we never know what part people are gonna watch, but we try to share the time stamps if you can get what you need, and get out - we totally get it ;) BUT, if you watch the whole thing, we really do appreciate you helping our CZcams presence. Our audience retention is always "poor" as it should be, but kinda goes with the territory of making long, and tutorial style videos, as we do. When I grow up, I want to make nice video that are all refined and TV show like, just to see how they turn out.... ;) ....it's funny how awesome you can make a video, even if the whole experience was terrible; this is why we err on the side of showing everything. Plus, we need room to "Ram it in" - LOL....
@@BrianPhillipsRC IX20 now that's a thought 🤔 LOL Oh by the way I'll always support your Channel. If it's HH products for sure.
Can’t wait to see you using open tx.
Way better than spectrum.
I was surprised when putting the wing on this plane. The screws feel like they arent getting tight at all when the foam starts to "pucker" as you say.
yeah, you'll get used to that feel!
At the 37:40 mark instead of throwing out all those numbers I wished you can dumb it down for people who are learning like me haha. Also, please tell us the stuff we would love to obviously know. Like more or less how fast do these chargers charge a battery from 0% to 100% and most importantly how much do they cost.. more or less of course.. an estimate.. nothing is always exact. Thank you so much. I hope you don't mind constructive criticism. And I'm still loving your channel Brian. I'm hooked! Also, I loved the plane. Very beautiful.
First off, thanks for being part of our channel! We're very glad to have you with us, and glad you're in our audience!
I throw out the numbers, because without them, nobody would have a clue what I was talking about. I don't share the cost, because the prices change, and shipping is a potentially big consideration. Also, I share links, so people can figure this out without any ambiguity, and risk of me saying it correct today, only to be wrong for 10 more years. I don't share how long the charge cycles are, since they vary a lot, so that becomes somewhat irrelevant. Plan on half an hour to one hour for a charge, you'll be about right.
I don't mind constructive criticism. We always try to hear it well, even if it's not always constructive (btw, not talking about your comment, but we get our fair share of terrible comments). My only issue with your constructive criticism here, is that all the details you brought up wouldn't be issues as you get to being more experience in the hobby. Kinda like when a kid tries to point out how dumb the teacher is, when the teacher hasn't mentioned the point yet. You'll kinda figure out what details are important as you get more experienced. I assume most people that are new to the hobby would keep that in mind, framing their questions in this way. Just a little constructive criticism back for you to chew on.
If you want to help ME out, just ask the question, and I'll try to answer your questions when possible. There's an unlimited list of things that we could talk about on every video, but as long winded and just plain LONG as out videos already are, we can only cram so much into them before people really start getting annoyed.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for responding and i totally hear you. And about the prices.. I just meant to say how much did YOU pay for it. I understand prices change and shipping will always be different. And I know you provide links or I can just look it up myself. I just find it more genuine when someone on a channel is just straight up. Kind of like if your talking to your brother or something. So yeah.. It might just me but I just find it strange in general when people review many things and not mention the price.. like it's taboo or something lol.. You see it ALL the time in TV shows/movies as well haha. But anyways.. i truly appreciate your channel and what you're doing... i have learned a lot. Keep the videos coming.
Nice flight! The video was awesome! Thanks to the better half. I've been looking at this as my first warbird, but am gaining experience with cheaper planes, while saving for this. My question to you is, since I fly drones also, I really don't want to buy a new radio.(read, can't afford). Is it possible to fly this with a jumper t16 pro, with safe on a switch? I'm having problems with that. I can bind with or without safe, but not on switch. But when I bound my UMX Timber, the switch works. Love your videos!
YES. You just need enough channels (7), and you can do it for sure. I can't tell you exactly how to setup each channel, but you can do it for sure. DSMX is supported right out of the box, so you could do it for sure.
Good luck!
This plane is excellent! SAFE gives a lot of leeway for bank and pitch angles, but I still recommend getting to AS3X only as soon as your skills allow. So much more fun and FREE!!!
- "Some of these videos are one hour long" :D Tbh just love that you are meticulous.
So I need a new bird, this, or the p-47? Or ... the A-10 which I really want but not sure Im ready :P
This P-51 is GREAT! The P-47 is also great! The A-10 is great!!! This type of question is killing me Peter - Get them ALL!!! JK, I know you have to pick...so, to answer your question...kinda depends on a few things....
What batteries you ALREADY have.
What space you're flying from.
How much budget.
The A-10 is more than the two P's, but if you can afford only the A-10, maybe you'd like the P-51 and P-47???
A-10 Thunderbolt 64mm bit.ly/2CCiFPp
P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku
P-47 Razorback 1.2m bit.ly/3j8NXhG
...and keep in mind the overall flight envelope of a jet is ALWAYS going to leave you wanting more speed, and more battery. The P-51 and P-47 offer a better "overall" flight experience if you really get right down to it....just my two cents.
I cant stop watching your videos of all these beautiful planes. Quick question.... Is it a normal part of the process to buy multiple planes before flying any of them? lol. I need this plane.
LOL - Not for me...I have always "Felt Bad" when I had a plane that hadn't been flown. I have a plane downstairs that is still NOT built!!! I went way out of my way to get it too...but we got busy - LOL!
The best youtuber
Thank you Ricardo!!! We have a great audience, which makes it all worth it - THANK YOU!!!
just picked this up and love it. Struggle with the take-off sometimes as she wants to nose down once the tail-wheel comes of the ground with 4S 2200. Any suggestions on getting take-off as smooth as you have it?
1) Take off from pavement if at all possible.
2) Loads of rudder as you spool up.
3) Slowly feed in throttle.
4) Don't resist the tail coming up, but you CAN if you want to wait on it popping up BEFORE the controls come alive (meaning enough air over the control surfaces to make them impact directional change on the plane)
@@BrianPhillipsRC one last question. The instructions give me the impression that I should bind with all three wheels on level surface (nose up slight attitude), in some videos I see the plane being bound on a stand at traditional level flight. Can you confirm how you bound to ensure successful first flight.
Gorgeous passes! I just ordered one.
About the NX6 screen. How is it in the cold? I like my DX8 but it's extremely laggy in cold weather so I'm hoping for the NX series to be better and have a higher refresh rate than the DX8.
It's better, in fact, I hadn't even thought to check, but we just filmed two videos featuring the NX6 at near or BELOW ZERO (F) for your considerations...go the the end of each flight, and I believe we show the screen. WAY better than my DX18 (same LCD style screen as on your DX8).
Fw 190 Maiden czcams.com/video/dzPOPXxH3_g/video.html
F-15 Maiden czcams.com/video/yyVuhkirhzc/video.html
...but I haven't even given it a second thought. I'll be honest, I guess I didn't really notice it being super bad on my DX18, in terms of the fact that I just didn't fly that frequently in the extreme cold, but I DID experience the slow, laggy LCD when it got cold. I don't think this type of screen (on the NX6) does that.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. It sounds promising.
Hi Brian, saw your flight of the 1.2 p51 and it looked awesome. You used the new nx6, can this plane be flown using the dx6e?
Yes you can! BUT if you use SAFE select, it's gonna be ON, OFF, or Selection will ALSO run another control (not optimal at all!!!)
Loving the channel! I think i've watched a good portion of your channel just to enjoy the content. I own this bird (and a few others) but I haven't quite gotten the CG correct on mine. I have 2 3S 2200 and 1 4S 2700 pack that I cant get the battery tray to be correct. I've gone from using the straps on the 3S and have put velcro on the tray and the 4S pack and removed the straps, in hopes that the velcro will hold the batt in place.
Did you ever find a "best" pack to fly it on?
Also seen a few batt tray mods on the rc groups page but don't really wanna rip out the batt tray yet
(side question: upgrading transmitter from a DX8e; looking at either DX8 or NX6/8....any insight?)
Yes, 4S 2200mAh 30C SMART Lipo strapped right in the middle of the tray. CG marks must be off on this plane, is all I can figure.
@@BrianPhillipsRC 4S 2200 it is then! Thanks!
I already have the 1.2m P-39 and the T-28, but am considering the P-51D or the F4U-4 Corsair. Gotta love the 4 blade look. I already have the Air Tractor, Commander, and both Timbers, so I'm not scared of tail draggers.
I've also seen your Corsair series from 2016. Which of the two planes is more fun? Is one more fun on 3S or 4S than the other? Was leaning towards the Corsair, but now unsure. Already soo many P-51s out there. My flying style is very acrobatic like yours with a few rolls and failed straight line knife edge attempts sprinkled in. Whether I fly with ordinance or not will depend on the acrobatic stability.
When I consider the two planes, I'm just looking for something different than what I already have. Thanks!
The Corsair is GREAT, but the P-51 is very fast, and VERY slow. The F4U corsair is very cool too, but it's definitely different ;) I guess it might come down to what you like better. The F4U doesn't have SAFE select, if that matters.
Beyond that - they're BOTH great!
Hey brian i noticed in the video u were mentioning smart packs, i bought non smart packs for t28 1.1m and they dont fit. I just wanted to know if a non smart pack battery would fit in this plane?
Hi Brian, really enjoy your channel. Just curious, among ALL of your RC airplanes, which one do you like MOST (and fly most frequently) that is best for "windy" condition (e.g. Wind: ~25 mpg), for intermediate skilled RC pilot? Thanks!
WC I understand your question, but I like so many planes that it's like asking what my favorite kid is....
To be totally honest, I like my latest plane the best, but there's a bunch of my "go to planes" from yester-year, that I really like, and THIS Was one of them ;)
Brian, if you only had room for one P-51 Mustang, which would you pick for a lifetime of enjoyment: the 1.1m; 1.2m, 1.5m or another? Thank you for your guidance.👍
Brian, interesting talk on the D/R and Expo. If I saw the video right, are you setting up all on the same switch? And, are you general starting rates as follows: 100% DR with 5% Expo / 100% DR with 20% Expo / 90% DR with 30% Expo? Also, do you use the same for all Aleron, Rudder, Elev?
Yes I am! Sometimes it's 5%,10%,15%...sometimes a bit MORE for rudder...but yeah, basically, that's my launching point, then I refine when I land from the maiden. I rarely change it.
Super easy right!!??!?! BUT SUPER-DUPER-SUBJECTIVE - you might HATE these settings ;)
Hey Brian , I was wondering how this compares to the eflite 1.2m p47 ? I’m getting used to 4ch flying with my aeroscout 1.1 which I love but I thought for my second plane after I get real proficient in the aeroscout in all flight modes might be a relatively mild warbird with safe.
P-47 is also very good, but flies more heavy, you'll WANT 4S all the time with that plane.

Both GREAT!
That's what she said!;)
totally ;)
Brian. Some non spectrum radios allow you to download a thumbnail. Would be curious if the NX or IX have similar capabilities
I THINK you can even do it on the DX18...but I'm WAY too lazy for that ;)
Great video. Can you share with me some tips for the TAKEOFF of this HH P-51? It looks smooth and effortless in your video (nice job btw). The problem I have is that when the tail was lifted and I throttling up for speed, a plane nose was pushed down and tip over by the thrust, and the prop was hitting the runway hard! So to avoid that, I sloooowly throttling up. Which took the whole runway length. But I don't think that's a practical way considering how capable this plane is.
I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but it's the answer you need to hear - practice makes proficiency ;) You can do it. I have a video that kinda outlines this process, but it's a FEEL thing, and an EXPERIENCE thing...
Here's the link - studio.czcams.com/users/videoV2NA_dYzu18/edit - I talk about how to counter the "P" Factor (the torque of the prop trying to pull the plane over to the left, which is why the props point down and right).
The best I can say is that when you engage the throttle, do it as slow as your strip will allow for. When you start, you can even pull back on the elevator to keep the tail wheel down for a minute, then slowly let it pull up, and about the time the tail wheel lifts, you'll have to move the rudder as the prop wash will want to "pivot" the plane.... it takes practice.
Here's what I would try to avoid...don't just gun it and get her in the air (I mean, you CAN...but don't)...you CAN learn this skill, and when you master it, you'll be a much better pilot!
thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to watch that video!
Nice flight Brian, 💯🎬📹crew 👍! Dam Brian you got a message cat house going on? Must be the
🚨BangGood XXX video 🚨Girls looking for 💸💰... 😁 LMAO!
Probably :)
Do you have any ideas on how to keep the plane from wanting to nose dive during take off I have the battery as forward as possible. Flys grate once you get up. Cg is just barely ,slightly toward the nose , when I bring battery back a bit it helps on the grass runway. Just surprises me that it wants to nose dive .?
You have to use the elevator and right rudder to counter the P-Factor. It's a tough skill to get right! Once you get a feel for the plane, you'll feel so accomplished. It's not easy, but you can do it! Grass must be VERY short to get this plane on it's mains...but if you want you can even grab the tail and lift it and push it along to get it started if you want to do wheels up/wheels down on taller grass strips.
Brian, thank you for all your great videos. Question: Would you recommend the Mustang or the T-28 1.2mm Trojan as the next plane from the 30 mm A10 EDF/Aero Scout/Sport Cub S2? Thank you in advance!
T-28 and P-51 are both fantastic!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Lol not helpful! okay, I'll go for both...Thank you
I will have to look into getting a smart charger and smart batteries. I typically use chargers that don't need a power supply. Would the dual one u showed that is AC do 3 and 4S packs OK, or a single l 6S 5000?
After using velcro on packs over the years, I would likely wanna try velcro on the pack and on the tray, then possibly 1 strap around the pack?
There are two chargers that work great with AC...
The S2100 bit.ly/3ftGEyR (two lipos at a time) and S1100 bit.ly/3exoRWh (one lipo at a time).
I would just get the new G2 version Ryan videos.
Hey, any tips on how to replace the landing gear struts. I can’t seem to be able to find out how to get the struts off the main retract motor/servo.
You can unscrew the 4 mounting screws, then drop it down, and you can actually do it with the retract up AND down...you usually have to cycle the gear, if you want to do it while still in the holder...but you can also take the top off the retract, then just pull the thing apart - SMALL SCREWS ON THE SIDE - DON'T LOSE THEM!!!! - then you can use a metric driver to back off the set screws, and she'll come out...
HOWEVER - if they're NOT yet broken, but only bent, try supporting it and bending it back - you can get a couple "bends" back, if you're careful - good luck!
Not hard, but you need a small phillips for the case on the retract. Dig in, it's not the first or last time you're going to need to do it....speaking from a lifetime of crashing ;)
Ok with this plane...It comes stock with the AR636 and a eflite ESC. If I want telemetry on my NX8 will I have to replace both the RX and the ESC or just the ESC to the Avian 45 amp. I know forward programming is through the RX but I'm not reprogramming it I just want the good stuff like pack life and such.
So replace both or just the ESC, thanks in advance.
Wait, you're watching this, and old review. It now has an AR631!!!
My June Nite came with the tailwheel slightly off center and I got tired of it not taxiing straight. So I just tried to unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom but I was only able to get 3 off. The last screw won't loosen. I assume that I need to get that last screw off in order to access the clevis?
Yeah, probably. If you can't get it to come off, try heating the screw, and pulling the screw into the plastic to melt new threads. This might help you get the cover off????
