P-51D Mustang "Red Tail" V8 1450mm EPP ARF FMS

Product detailed description

The North American P-51 Mustang is the most famous and probably the best American fighter plane of World War II. In a single machine, high speed, climb rate, excellent maneuverability with powerful weapons and a long range were brilliantly combined, which made it possible to clear the way through a group of B-17 Flying Fortresses and Liberators into the interior of the Third Reich...

The ARF set includes: a finished model with an AC motor, a four-blade propeller with a cone, a speed controller, 9 servos and an electric retractable landing gear, instructions.

Necessary additional purchase: min. 6-channel RC set, Li-Pol drive battery min. 14.8 V 2600 mAh, charger.

The new Mustang is made of nearly unbreakable extruded polypropylene (EPP) foam. The P-51 boasts a span of up to 1440 mm! This is the size for which, until recently, the 6.5 cc internal combustion engine was almost the only acceptable drive... Large dimensions, attractive "warbird" appearance, good flight characteristics predestined the EPP Mustang to the role of an excellent model seasoned with a moderate dose of combat adrenaline for a pilot who reliably manages to fly with a faster model with wings...

The EPP foam model's fuselage comes with a C4250-540 rotary shroud AC motor mounted, with a 70A AC regulator fitted with a powerful SBEC (5A) switching power supply stabilizer and rudder and elevator servos. Easy access to the on-board electronics and drive battery is guaranteed by the removable cabin cover with a magnetic lock. For the model, you will need Li-Pol 4-cells of at least 2600 mAh with a load capacity of 20C. The EPP tail surfaces are attached to the fuselage with polyamide screws. The EPP foam wing with a semi-symmetrical profile is two-part, connected by a carbon joint. It is attached to the hull at the back with a pin and at the front with 2 screws. Ailerons and flaps are each controlled by two servos stored in the wing. Before connecting the tie rods, it is recommended to "move" the rudders by repeated careful deflection up and down or left and right. An electric retractable landing gear is mounted in the wing (it is controlled by a normal signal from the receiver as a servo), the spur is rotatable, controlled by a special servo located in the tail part of the fuselage. Ailerons, rudder, elevator, engine speed and retractable landing gear are controlled. The entire on-board installation is already "wired" - the electronics cables located in the wing and fuselage are routed to the connection board in the cabin area, from which servo cables are routed for easy connection of your receiver.

You will need at least a 6-channel RC kit to control the model (the onboard electronics are wired to only require one channel for each function, no matter how many servos are being controlled). Follow the instruction manual of your RC kit when connecting the receiver.

A mock-up 4-blade propeller with a 14x8" cone is supplied with the model.
