P-51/D Mustang
*Look at instructions below*
This is the P-51, an utterly amazing aircraft. This is at 7/10 scale (lol, on point), but the speeds are still accurate. A heralded war hero and still supreme aircraft of the skies... And blah blah blah, anyway back to the specs-
-Top speed with tanks 380 mph at level flight
-Top speed without tanks (combat mode- drop tanks) 450 mph
-Cruising speed 385 mph
-Range is extended greatly by the tanks so be careful and sure when you want to drop them. It isn't required to drop them in combat, but it improves speed and maneuverability.
(thanks to XxcreedexX for a couple tips on this plane)
*Important*-
-Initially start taking off at <25% power or under, then when the tail lifts (while pulling up) throttle to 100%.
-Land at 25% power, very tricky.
-Drop tanks AG 1
-Use trim as needed

Oh..@aircraftarsenal123
Read the description my guy @Dragons103
But the craft cannot take off. @aircraftarsenal123
You’re welcome! @aircraftarsenal123
Thanks! @Dragons103
Awesome
Wow this one looks a lot better than mine! It’s beautiful!
No problem! @aircraftarsenal123
oh ok @aircraftarsenal123
And thanks, it is 7/10 scale, so not quite 1:1 scale, but it is proportionate; if I wanted to I could take the fine tuner and scale one aspect to the correct length and everything else would be correct also. And yes, I tried to make it land as smooth as possible, but I was more focused on the flying part and speed/ maneuverability. Call it "realistic" xD @Luuk2909
Thanks! @Luuk2909 @Jpeggers
Idk why but making a P-51 that can land was one of the gardest things i ever had to in SP but there are some tricks to make it beter
Great P-51! Btw is it 1:1?
Very good!
