Umx P-51D "Detroit Miss" Bnf Bas (EFLU7350)

On October 7th, 1944, Urban L. Drew "“ also known as "œBen" Drew "“ became one of only three USAAF pilots to encounter the then-new Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter during a combat mission over enemy territory. He then became the first and only Allied pilot to shoot down two of the jet-powered aircraft while flying his personal P-51D Mustang named "œDetroit Miss." The E-flite UMX P-51D Mustang is a replica of that history-making aircraft, complete with a variety of scale details, impressive handling, and outstanding performance. Exclusive Spektrum AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, along with the 2S and 3S compatible power system, deliver an unmatched ultra-micro Mustang flying experience.

The P-51D Mustang is world-renowned as quite possibly the most iconic fighter aircraft of all time! Its unique design resulted in it delivering some of the best performance among all fighter aircraft flown in WWII. "œDetroit Miss" is a history-making P-51D Mustang that was flown by Urban "œBen" Drew, and in 1944 he became the first USAAF pilot to shoot down two jet-powered Messerschmitt Me 262 fighter aircraft with it. The E-flite UMX P-51D Mustang is an ultra-micro sized model of the famous aircraft that's a warbird version of the popular UMX P-51D Voodoo racer. It's equipped with expertly-tuned AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, is 2S and 3S battery compatible, and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible transmitters. Because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX P-51 can be flown in more places and smaller spaces including many yards, parks, and sports fields! The fixed landing gear with a steerable tailwheel makes it easy to taxi, takeoff from, and land on smooth surfaces, or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance with easy hand launches over and landings on grass. It's the most affordable, convenient, and easiest-to-fly replica of a P-51D Mustang yet!

Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble and/or set up and fly similar class models. And although this is one of the easiest-to-fly P-51 models yet, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or "œnext step after a trainer" model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly higher performance ultra-micro models like the various UMX Timber models, or larger models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, the Commander mPd 1.4m, Timber 1.5m models, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the UMX P-51D Mustang. Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, the UMX P-51D Mustang is not a suitable first-ever RC model and we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft, such as the HobbyZone Apprentice STOL S 700mm. It's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed to fly and is a perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.
