I trained on this plane with an instructor. I'd flown a Super Cub and Parkzone T-28 for several months first. The Hangar 9 P-51 MKII PTS was my first experience with a nitro bird. My instructor had me remove the droops right away, but leave the other PTS features intact (needle valve limiters and counter-weight on the engine). It flies GREAT! The only problem I had was landing as it comes in fast and requires a lot of runway. I've since added the servos for the flaps and consequently slowed the landing speed very nicely. It floats in beautifully now. The Evolution .46 is EXTREMELY reliable and started out of the box on the first flip. I've run about 5 gallons of fuel through it over the last 18 months and have had no proJblems whatsoever. The Ultracote trim does not adhere well. Early on I tried ironing it and using small amount of CA under edges. Nope. I've flown the invasions stripes off of it. Wouldn't recommend it as a first plane for training, but for a second plane - it's awesome. This RTF has to be one of the BEST deals around too - in rough prices: engine $90, 4 servos $100, DX6 Tx $150, Spectrum Rx $50, flight battery $20, prop $5 - about $415 total. Retail price $399 - they're GIVING you the plane for nothing! Beat that deal.
