Overview
As the most successful fighter of World War II, the P-51D Mustang still thrills thousands of people today in air shows and races around the world. Now park flyer fans can experience Mustang thrills on a smaller scale with this fully aerobatic Charge-and-Fly™ reproduction from ParkZone™. And getting it airborne is about as simple as it gets. Just attach the wing and tail, connect the battery to the charger, and in as little as 40 minutes, you’re flying.
Once in the air, you can choose between two flight modes – A or B – with just the flip of a transmitter switch. Mode “A” limits the amount of control surface travel for transitioning pilots so maneuvers are smooth and manageable. Mode “B” grants an experienced pilot maximum control surface movement for high-energy Mustang maneuvers, such as loops, victory rolls, Cuban-8’s, and more.
More advanced park flyer pilots will be pleased to know that the Mustang’s receiver/ESC module and two servos can be removed and used in other speed 370 or 400-class electric aircraft. That list includes V-tails and delta wings, thanks to selectable control mixing in the receiver. The receiver is also equipped with an X-Port™ connector, but not an external port, and the speed control’s auto-cutoff can be adjusted to work with 3-cell Li-Po battery packs.
Like all other ParkZone planes, the P-51D has, in one box, everything you need to get flying. Outstanding flight performance and exciting warbird realism await you – with the ParkZone P-51D Mustang, you get it all!
