P-51 Mustang Overview
PTS stands for Progressive Trainer System - groundbreaking new technology that allows pilots to progress from learning to fly to performing sport aerobatics without having to upgrade or buy a new airplane. Clear plastic NACA droops attach to the outer edges of the wing, providing beginners with extra stability during training and manipulating the stock airfoil to produce added lift. The fixed landing gear features a special speed brake system that keeps the flying speed down, making the Mustang easy to handle. 2-position flaps add drag, and can be later upgraded to functioning flaps by adding a servo.
The clear plastic NACA droops attach to the outer leading edge of the wing to help stabilize the Mustang. They also manipulate the stock airfoil to produce added lift and eliminate any chance of tip-stalls or spins. After training is complete, remove the droops to transform the trainer into a fun sport plane.
Unlike most warbirds, this P-51 offers fixed landing gear with removable speed brakes to help slow the airframe’s flight, making it easier to learn. The landing gear is specially configured to ground-handle better than other trainers and noseovers are virtually impossible.
Flaps come in two preset positions, but can be later upgraded to functioning flaps with the addition of one servo.
Once the pilot has mastered the basics of RC flight, he can quickly and easily remove the droops and speed brakes, instantly transforming the ready-to-fly trainer into a smooth-flying sport plane able to fly a variety of aerobatics such as loops, spins and snap rolls.
Hangar 9 has provided this beautiful .40-size P-51 Mustang with everything a beginner needs to start flying immediately, including JR's MAX66 6-channel computer radio system and Evolution Engines' no-fuss Trainer Power System, ready to start right from the box with no tuning or lengthy break-in period necessary. For those with radio gear, a "Plug N Play" version is available where all you need is to add your own receiver and transmitter.
JR servos come pre-mounted.
Engine, spinner, prop, glow plug- it's all there and designed specifically to get a beginning pilot into the air quickly and easily. Just 2 or 3 flips of the prop, and it's running smoothly and quietly.
