The real Mustang this is modeled after was based near me in Valparaiso, IN. It was owned and flown by a retired USMC fighter pilot named Jim Read. He operated a small warbird museum at the Porter County Airport. All of his airplanes were maintained in pristine condition, and he flew them all. I did a little volunteer work for him...polishing that Mustang on Sundays...was a lot of fun to actually get my hands on one! Jim was always ready to talk airplanes...He sadly passed away a few months ago.

This is one fantastically beautiful and impressive radio controlled model aircraft. P-51 D's have always been one of my favorite aircraft. I can not imagine as to how many hours actually went into the building of this airplane. The details are awesomely amazing, but however, in my lowly opinion, I believe that a pilot figure added to the plane would be the crowning touch. Again, this is a fantastic model!!!!!

Beautiful plane, gorgeously raucous engine. For those complaining about the number of blades on the prop, it must be understood that the full-size aircraft has the benefit of employing systems that would be difficult and/or ruinously expensive to miniaturize. For example, an actual P-51 employs a prop on which the pitch of the blades is variable to optimize performance at different rpms. Even on a model as big and sophisticated as this one, one is unlikely to find such a system. I can't imagine what a "constant speed" prop would cost to design and install on this scale. RC airplane props must be something of a compromise to work at all speeds, so we should cut them a bit of slack.
@stephenperlbinder1671 Жыл бұрын
Wish I had thought to say that, but much appreciated. 2 blade is purely for max performance, but there is a 4 blade for static display amd I'll try it next season to see how it compares.

Thanks for the explanation; I'd been wondering why so many RC planes run a 2 blade prop instead of the prototypical 3 blade - makes sense.

@@TheRealPDaveTH Yes, missed that. The engine still low time and running at factory carb settings which are on the rich side. In the case of this video, the model had not been flown in a few years, and throttle settings were initially changed more often than usual to get a better sense of how well the engine was responding to throttle commands. Once comfortable that the engine was not going to pack it in, the rest of the flight was flown at more normal and constant throttle setting. After another hour, leaning process will begin but on the cautious side. Thanks for your comments on the original question.

@stephenperlbinder1671 Жыл бұрын
Hi Peter. I would agree with you that the Mustang seems to fly tail heavy, mostly in slower flight I think, but CG was set using Xicoy scale system and is slightly forward of recommended position. Very few flights on this plane, but I have flown many giant scale warbirds and this one doesn't fly or feel tail heavy, especially in landing, full flap configuration where elevator feel is most important to me. Thanks for the comment. I hope to get a chance to look at CG more critically when I get more flights on the Mustang next season.
@peterbremberg3900 Жыл бұрын
@@stephenperlbinder1671 Ok, thanks for your comment. But if the CG is correct: Have you checked the angle of incidence of the elevator? The Mustang needs not more than 1.5°, if profile of wing is a 2415 or similar. The plane sometimes seems like to drop an anchor in the air.
@stephenperlbinder1671 Жыл бұрын
@@peterbremberg3900 Hi Peter. Thanks for getting back. This Mustang was built by a gent in Germany, I think, about 10-12 years ago. I acquired it from a friend getting out of the hobby. Not sure what his source material was for incidence data, etc, but that's how I got it and it was successfully test flown back when it was built. This was only my second flight on the Mustang and I was very nervous about engine reliability even with factory rich needle settings. You are right, when power is reduced on this one is does seem as though an anchor was thrown out. Good pick up and I appreciate your obvious knowledge of what goes into this size project. I think for now I'll just fly as is and maybe take a critical look at incidence next season. Thanks again for commenting.

All settings for now are factory default and engine has low time. Kolm recommends leaving all carb settings as delivered for a reasonable break in period, and then carefully leaning high and low. No more flying time on this engine until next season. Most people feel the three cylinder has a smoother sound through the power band, but does not develop quite as much power as the 4 cylinder. I'm satisfied for now with the engine running reliably and temps staying below 220.
