FMS P51 Mustang was created by The Beard
Mine arrived yesterday and incredible value for money from Kings Lynn Models .Ive bought the Siver Red Tail model already has decals and not a lot to do .Instructions as with any chinese model are vague but did come with receiver and controller which I wont use.One question ive never thought about.It has a warning not to use higher than 6 volts to servos etc but recommends 14.8 bvolt battery.I assume the speed controller sorts that out but ive never thought about it before.

That's what the BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) does, Beardy.
It splits the volts from the lipo, so the speed controller gets the full load, and the receiver gets about 5v which also works the servos. [badass]
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

after a short time flying I was able to give the P51 some attention.Very thoughtful packaging,example the screws are labelled and the horns ands screws are cellotaped to where the should go be it elevator or rudder.
First job is the propellor .the blades screwing onto the back of the spinner each one held by 2 screws.a big 4 blade prop

What kind of plug - someone may have one in their junk box. :unsure:

I hope to be soldering tonite had to feel around shed in the dark as I cannot find a torch for a ceramis tile to use as it looks a challenge to remove the speed controller and the lead is quite long so should be ok

the soldering went brilliantly and was very successful.I then popped a battery in and everything works perfectly except for my controller .The right control has fallen in and I can see screws have fallen out but cannot locate them so careful searching tonite inside.Even the tail wheel is retract
