Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang PTS RTF Spektrum.

This P-51 Mustang can  be your first RC Airplane.

 

I never thought it would be possible to recommend a semi-scale P-51 as your first RC trainer airplane! -but now it is possible. The Mustang PTS from Hangar 9 has been specifically designed to be a trainer.

It comes equipped with NACA "Leading Edge Droops". These are clear plastic pieces that act as leading edge lift devices that prevent wing tip stall.

This P-51 has a large wing area and low weight, resulting in a relatively low wing loading that makes the model easy to fly and very forgiving.

I have seen beginners learn to fly, using this airplane with help from a good instructor. Bear in mind that you will need a good runway, to take-off from and land. I do not recommend hand launching this beauty!

To make your learning curve even shorter, the model comes as a Ready-to-Fly aircraft complete with installed glow engine and a 6 channel radio!

Take a look at the video to see this Mustang fly. If you would like more information, or  to BUY one of these wonderful beginners RC airplanes, please click on any of the photos.

If you can use a screwdriver and a wrench then you can build this P-51 Mustang!

The model is of conventional balsa and ply construction and covered with Ultracote-thus making the inevitable repairs simple.

Description.

The PTS in the name is an anagram for-Progress Trainer System. Now you can learn to fly and with lots of practice you can advance to basic RC airplane aerobatics with the same model. When you have mastered the basics and can fly well, the leading edge NACA droops and start into the basic RC aerobatics.

It is intended that an instructor is available for those first few flights, probably with the use of a "Buddy Cord", and that all the flying is done at a club flying field.

 

 

As the photos on this page show, the P-51 Mustang comes to you completely finished and ready to fly. Even the RC transmitter is included. This unit is a Spektrum DX6i, 2.4GHz DSM2 6-channel programmable computer radio. This transmitter can be used, in the future, to control many other RC airplanes. Radio interference should be a thing of the past and there is no need to wait for the frequency pin to be available!

 

 

With a wing span of 58.25" and a finished weight of 7lbs maximum, it can be seen that this is no park flyer! It also comes with an Evolution Trainer Power System. This is a .46cu. in. glow engine especially designed and built for the beginner. Like all the components, this too, comes already installed.

 

About the only extra you will need to buy, is some RC airplane fuel-this model does come 100% complete.

. Please note that this package includes everything you need, including the glow engine and the six channel, 2.4 GHz Spektrum radio!  Click on the links or photographs for further information,and the ability to purchase.
