This is just an awesome plane from E-flite! So much plane for a very reasonable pricepoint and features like Smart AND the SAFE select option, make this larger-size P-51D Mustang a LOT more accessible to the newer R/C pilot, who doesn't have a garage full of planes. Can't wait to get one myself. It looks like a lot of fun to fly.
I was at a flying field today and I saw my buddy flying it, it’s was AMAZING and so smooth when he did a low pass.
Been flying this model in Realflight 9.5 and I have to say this has been the hardest plane to master how to land it. Really hard to get the glide slope right and not land without bouncing it (which I have read is hard on the retract mounts in the wing. Still landing it 100%, just working on landing it without bouncing it-right now that’s about 20% of the time. The key for me is full flaps and about 1/4 throttle with a shallow glide slope, cutting the throttle right before touching down.
Great piloting, Jason! I especially liked the long downwind leg, squared-off base and final you flew near the end of the video. Beautiful model!
You can hear the propeller--not just the motor, but the propeller beating the wind! Greatness!!! :D :)
Beautiful shot
That is so awesome! Forget the actual airshows- I like to watch this😉 Retractable landing gear is just insane to watch
Amazing Aircraft from HH!
Thanks Jason for showing the rest of us what the new P-51 can do!
Great, another E-Flite Warbird I am now forced to buy! - Great job guys :)
I'm thinking about the p-51 as my first low wing flyer depending on how she handles taking off flying mid flight and landing
This is one of the best and easiest flying P-51 models ever, but we strongly recommend the smaller 1.2m version ( czcams.com/video/TKnHygFVluA/video.html ) or the T-28 Trojan 1.1m ( czcams.com/video/r0K6S1K4vYc/video.html ) as first low-wing/warbird models after mastering a trainer. The smaller models are a bit easier to fly/handle and have less details so they're more durable overall.
CLAPPING!!!! Excellent flight! Thank you!!
Jason great flying and thank Horizon for getting Pilot Ryan to make some great videos too. Hope this one does well, Jeff in LA USA
Some great flying Jason for my favorite model.👍👍👊👊
I hope this is the beginning of the 1500mm series of warbirds from HH absolutely love all of the 1200mm birds P-47 on 6s 👍 maybe a 109 with AS3X to tame the beast. Good to see a warbird
Looks really cool in the air and sounds neat. I’ve been thinking about the new batteries. Think it’s time... get one for free. Here I go again $$$ What a deal. Nice flying Jason.
Sweet! I hope you sell a million of them...What a Beautiful Bird...
A spectacular job my friend congratulations
Nice flight Jason
unbelievable locked in slow speed performance even in ground effect, esp for a foamie....
Being the leader in RC industry, I hope horizon raise the bar on micro & mini models too & develop light weight simpler retracts for those too
I have the Hangar 9 P-51D 40 ARF they were selling a few years ago. This is about the same size, but costs 3/4 of the price to outfit the 40 ARF with Horizon products.
I know everything is going electric but when you look at a fighter like this specially an old Ward, I really miss hearing the four stroke engines.
Sweet, i'll just keep adding them to my 'to buy' list! Still waiting for any of flying boats to come out though, PBY, Albatross, Mallard....pretty pretty please!
Great landing dude!!!
Excellent video guys...beautiful plane, thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼💥
I really like the look of this plane. I recently got the inspiration to get into the planes when I saw the eFlite F-18 hornet I watched in another HH video. First plane video I watched of any plane. Hearing that plane made me want to get it. I've got a long way to go before I can actually fly a EDF plane as I don't even have my first plane. The first plane I want to get becides buying the eFlite F-18 is a plane from Motion RC. Ultimately I want eFlite, but I need a beginner plane to start. The Freewing Pandora 4 in 1 is going to be my first flight. The F-18 will more than likely be my first purchase though, but won't be used till I feel comfortable flying. The Transmitter I am interested in is the one in the video, the DX8. Has enough channels for when I need them later on down the road. I like the Spektrum products in general. The first surface transmitter was the DX5C. I ended up giving that to my brother cause I bought him the Losi Super Baja Rey BND and he needed a transmitter. I had my eyes on the DX5 Rugged for a while and ended up buying the orange version as I didn't need the extra receiver. Also really liked the color anyways so it was a no brainer. I've been doing a lot of research on planes and feel like the DX8 is my best option.
I started out like you with RC cars long ago. One day I went in a real hobby shop and saw the planes hanging from the ceiling....it was then I saw that getting put on my bucket list...yes I flew the U-Control some 40 years ago when RC aircraft and controllers were the price of a used car. I also built those Guillows balsa and paper rubber band powered or Cox engine models so seeing this ARF TalorCraft 450 by Hangar 9 caught my eye and I built it...
Not wanting to crash it I bought the simulator and a cheap foam three channel ParkZone Cub...the rest is history, now I have my own CZcams channel.
@@keithlucas6260 Sounds like you know what you're doing when it comes to planes. I'll have to subscribe to you. I'm sure there are questions that will rise and it's best to ask someone more knowledgeable. It's a lot different than learning surface RC as if something goes wrong, they are already on the ground. In the air, and something goes wrong, best hope it lands on something smooth or you will be buying a lot of parts or a whole new plane. Typically seems the latter half if it's a substantial crash.
'The way it sounds?' You need to put some playing cards in the spokes.😂
amazing flight skills..
@ 7:23 - Amen!!!
Jason, can I add some constructive criticism....rhetorical question. You're a likeable person showcasing terrific products. The timing of the day doing this and the distant video coverage undermines everything I said was positive.
Thank you for the feedback! This video was shot before the product was announced so it had to be late in the day when most people were not at the field and/or flying, and it was shot with an iPhone 8 so unfortunately it was not practical to zoom. That said we will definitely keep this in mind for the future :)
@@HorizonHobbyProducts Ok, makes sense. Thanks for making me feel like a schmutz. :)
Excellent Airplane
REALLY nice job Jason!!! GREAT flying as usual!!
Great job guys. Love the plane looks awesome will have to get one.
I thought I wanted one but man that has power!
That’s the field I fly out of!
Also the field my Eflite F-16 exploded into yesterday :(
Fantastic airplane it is gorgeous. You guys are coming out with a lot of great planes lately I can not keep up
Personal aircraft of Lt. Col. Thomas Christian, C.O. of 361st F.G. 375 F.S. 8th A.F. Bottisham, nr Cambridge UK 1944. All his a/c were named 'Lou' this being his last, No. 4. He lost his life in this A/C dive bombing Arras rail yards, 12 Aug. 1944. The name on the starboard side should read "Athelene' (crew chief traditionally named that side). Always been a bone of contention over the blue upper surfaces - some say was olive drab? Beautiful model either way. (And yes I was deeply involved in producing the history of this fighter Group.) Greetings from Teresa, Cambridge UK
(P.S. the original plane never had the tail fin fillet. This was added to later models because of stress factors)
Hoping to get another trainer wanting to learn a little more about flying a rc plane
I would love that plane but no place to hide it in my collection. lol.
I was wondering if I could use my older 6S LiPos and you answered that. I am wondering how easy or hard it is to remove the outer wing panels after seeing in another video how easily they go on. My other question is whether or not the Main Landing Gear Retract Set, EFLG01251 for $99.99, is a pair, or can I buy just one - the left or right as needed?
Yes! You can buy just the left or right main retract motor/unit (Retract Motor Unit: P-51D 1.5m Mustang - EFLG01255) without the strut for $39.99: www.horizonhobby.com/retract-motor-unit%3A-p-51d-15m-p-eflg01255
You can see the panels being removed and lots more details in the Live Discussion video here: czcams.com/video/0QjYLMY2fTI/video.html
Sold!
So smooth and stable. Homerun
Looks like New Mexico in the background!

Hey Jason. I just purchased this one. In the manual on the quick start guide, it calls for everything in mm. My question is calling for elevator trim neutral setting 3mm down elevator. Next page is in percentages but doesn't call for neutral elevator down trim do I still need to set that in my transmitter and what's the percentage. Thanks
Do you think this would be okay for an intermediate person to fly?
Must have this airplane. Where is that blood bank?
How does the gear do on grass runways, I’ve heard that they tend to fail? Thanks
I love this plane other than the hard left on take off any ideas to help with this .thanks in advanced
Wow! Butter !
Beautiful model. Would be nice to think of European customers with the offer of the combo (mustang bnf + smart battery) for preorder. We would be smart too!
I’ve been flying for about 5 years off of grass with various planes: Viper 70mm, v900, 1.2 Corsair ( still trying to keep it from nosing over upon landing), Avanti, Eflite A10, Air Tractor, Cirrus, Cherokee, etc. Do you think this p-51 could be my first p-51 flying off of grass?
Yes! Due to the larger size and the larger wheels, the 1.5m P-51 is a great choice when flying from grass. The 1.2m P-51 can work well on some grass surfaces, but is more likely to nose over like the 1.2m Corsair. The 1.5 P-51 is far less likely to nose over on the same or even longer grass surfaces!
😍Amazon have these I gotta get
Add to cart!
Click!
Would be nice to see a P-38
Any advice on getting it to go down the runway without spinning out
i just bought the carbon cub s2 would you say once i get god with that i should maybe purchase this as my second ever rc plane ?
Is this a good beginner plane?
Great job guys. Field looks like the old field of Circus Circus Hobbies in North Las Vegas?
The old field is gone, but this newer one isn't far from where it was (a bit further north and west):

When build one with sit in?
Could I put an FPV set up on it?
Can you bind it with a hitect aurora 9x?? I dont know if to buy this one or the smaller one
so i can use my taranis transmitter and keep smart?
Wow! that got real small real fast.
Nice plane. Is the Harrier finished yet, in stock June?
To little time to fly!! What the most time you can get out of it?
Horizon keep the warbirds coming out and money will keep going out. Lol
great aircraft scale
sold!
i found a guted mustang so im trying to get the rigt battery
HI, John FROM WISCONSIN. NOT TOO MUCH FLYING TODAY ONLY 12 DEGREES TONIGHT. I HAVE WATCHED MANY MANY MUSTANG VIDEOS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAVE WATCHED AS MANY VIDEOS ON THIS PLANE AS I COULD FIND SO FAR. I'VE NOTICED ON ALMOST EVERY TAKE OFF THE PLANE/PILOT PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT. IS THAT BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH TORQUE AND OR A COMBO OF THE PILOT NOT HAVING ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PLANE AND NOT GIVING ENOUGH RUDDER ON TAKE OFF. TO MY MIND THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING AND FLYING MUSTANGS AVAILABLE. THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE BUT NOT THIS GOOD LOOKING, FAST AND MANEUVERABLE AS THIS GEM.
Really dig this craft. Is this location in Arizona?

@@HorizonHobbyProducts Thanks. Cool, I almost made it out there one day but it was too windy for me. I'm sure I'll fly out there some time.
wow what a landing.
Is this in north Las Vegas?

Any space for FPV ?
Hi Jason any chance you could tell us how flying this compares to flying the 1.2m Eflite mustang? I’ve been flying the 1.2 comfortably for a year and a half along with some other 4S planes (without safe) but have not flown anything 6S before. A video from pilot Ryan suggests this plane can be a bit of a handful. Does it fly ‘on rails’ like the 1.2? I just want to be confident I’m not punching above my weight before I lay down £500. Thanks.
It flies much like the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.2m model overall! It does have a relatively larger diameter prop that results in more torque effect, and the tailwheel is in the scale location, which does require a bit more attention and control (rudder and throttle use in particular) during takeoffs and landings in particular. That said most will catch on after a few takeoffs/landings, and in the air the high-speed, low-speed and overall handling is very much like the smaller version...so if you can fly/handle that model successfully, you should be able to successfully fly/handle the larger 1.5m model too!
HorizonHobbyProducts
Awesome!!! I’m in! Thanks Jason! One more question for you. Are the wheels bigger than the 1.2m? One of the reasons I’m looking at larger mustangs is that my 1.2 really struggles with our grass runway in winter months in particular. Nose overs are impossible to avoid and so I don’t fly this time of year. I’m guessing the wheels are bigger and it can taxi/land/takeoff more easily on grass?
Will it fly on a 6s 3200mah Battery, and will the CG be ok ???
roderick james riddick Yes! You’ll just need to install it further forward on the battery tray as discussed and shown in the Live Discussion video here: czcams.com/video/0QjYLMY2fTI/video.html
How do you think 8s 5000’s would perform in this plane? I’d love to multipurpose my eight jet battery sets
The stock ESC is capable of handling up to 6S and the stock motor has been tested with 6S. The performance with 6S is extremely good, but of course it's always possible to swap the ESC and/or motor to achieve added performance with higher cell count batteries.
HorizonHobbyProducts from HH what ESC and motor would you recommend for an 8s set up?
I’m not good with power
Wow but that paintjob?
Please make a bf 109 k 4
No plans for a bf 109, but we did recently release a 1.5m Fw 190: czcams.com/video/UM4LFinhv_U/video.html
Yeah I seen it and it looks beautiful that's why I was hoping you guys would someday make a bf 109 because I trust your company more than a lot of others with planes and I think you guys would do an awesome job on a 109 and others I can't wait to buy more of your planes and fly more !!!! 😊👍
I've seen real mustang fly. This nails it.
7000 6s? WHAAAT
Where is the flying ?
As noted in the video description and the pinned comment at the top: Flight begins around the 4:30 mark

www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/departments/nls_(parks_and_rec)/mccool_regional_park.php
5-10 minute flight time? You guys must be flying wide open at all times lol. I got 15 minutes out of my Carbon Z cub with a 5200mah 6S, doing a bit of 3D. I get 20 minutes out of my Cirrus SR22 on a 3200mah 4S doing scale flying.
The Cub and Cirrus are very different than a warbird, and yes, flight times vary greatly based on the performance of the battery being using, flying style and throttle management of the pilot! You can always get longer flight times if you fly slower/use less power...but that's not typically how most people fly a warbird ;)
Ok, see it on the map now....
Phenomenon price....
You sold me
Makes me wish I hadn't moved out of the country.
Nice job Jason, But easy on calling us guys, I know of 4 ladies who will be buying these! Just sayin'...this is a torque monster, not recommended for beginners!
Phenomenal... Lol!
No hovering come on man lol
Лопочі меньш, я всеодно не розумію..........
