PRODUCT OVERVIEW
If you're a low-time pilot looking for a "next step after a trainer" model and are interested in learning to fly warbirds, or you're an experienced pilot looking for a no-hassles and fun-to-fly sport scale model, the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m is a perfect choice. Much like the ever-popular and best-selling E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, it's designed to be a simpler and lower-cost alternative to full-house P-51 models equipped with flaps and retractable landing gear that are typically more complex to operate and difficult to fly. The fixed landing gear with a steerable tailwheel makes it easy to taxi, take off from, and land on smooth surfaces. Or, leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance with easy hand launches over and landings on grass. It's conveniently sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly - and so it can be flown at large parks and sports fields as well as RC flying fields. Factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos provide precise and reliable control at every speed. The power system includes a Spektrum outrunner motor and a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC that are compatible with popular 3S and 4S 1300-2200mAh batteries. And the BNF Basic version is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ along with optional-use SAFE Select and automatic Hand Launch Assist technologies. Plus both versions are factory-finished in the unique "Ferocious Frankie" trim scheme that was used on a Mustang flown by Major Wallace E. Hopkins - an ace credited with 8 victories during World War II.

Easy Assembly
No glue is required for final assembly, and you can have the P-51D Mustang 1.0m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! And although it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in just about any vehicle, you can also remove the one-piece wing equipped with hands-free connections for even easier storage and transport.
Gear Options
You can use the included fixed landing gear - with a steerable tail wheel in the scale location and simulated gear doors/strut covers - to taxi, take off from and land on smooth surfaces. Or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy hand launches over and landings on grass - especially while utilizing the automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode and SAFE Select featured in the BNF Basic version.
Durable Precision
The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is composite reinforced for added strength. And the factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
Versatile Power
The factory-installed brushless power system features a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC plus a specially tuned motor that delivers an abundance of thrust with a 3S 1300-2200mAh LiPo battery or more speed and unlimited vertical performance with up to a 4S 2200mAh battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades.
BNF Basic - Skill Level 2 NS
Next Step After a Trainer aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who have successfully learned to fly a trainer model and those with the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. Although this is one of the easiest to fly P-51 models yet, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly a trainer model like the HobbyZone AeroScout 1.1m and Carbon Cub 1.3m, or models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m and other similar class models before attempting to fly the P-51D Mustang 1.0m BNF Basic version.
PNP - Skill Level 3
Suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have the experience and skills necessary to assemble and successfully fly models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m or other similar class models before attempting to fly the P-51D Mustang 1.0m PNP version.
