good luck on its maiden voyage, you do have RC experience correct? if not its going to be a handful if not. It's just like my P51 except mines the Miss America and its a joy to fly and very fast, whats the wingspan if i may ask?

63 inch wingspan, I had a trainer and a uglystick in college. I have been on a sim for a month or so, with the same plane...  :pray :joystick:

Ah cool, Ive been flying RC's for almost 35 years now, my 51 has the 64 inch WS so its similar to mine auto retracts and marker strobes, i don't have the landing lights yet lol, currently I'm working on a B25 Mitchell 108" WS.
Just be careful it flys nothing like a trainer the center of gravity and handling is different with the low wing and its going to be fast.  hehe  I don't know what size motor your running, i went oversized and used a real radical 4 blade prop it turns 120 to 128 mph on the gun i do have a 2 blade prop which slows it down alot for a more mellow flight.

Your going to have a blast just make sure you run your checklist twice, and go have Fun  :cheers:

Watch the snap.  P51s will snap if you yank the elevator stick too hard.

Sorry to hear your P51 went in ......
Banana hobbies does have a pretty poor reputation(http://www.rcgroups.com/banana-hobby-560/ ) ,which is a shame as they have some real good looking models on offer ..
I would love to buy the F18 they have but as i live in the middle east shipping it back if there are problems makes it not worth while buying ...
