P-51 Mustang

*Insert Ride of the Valkyries*


After an almost 4 year hiatus, I make my grand return with a quick little day build of one of the yanks' finest. The North American P-51 Mustang!

Despite being a Brit, I think even we can admire this aircraft for the beaut that it is.


So here you go, enjoy it, fly it, shoot things.


Controls

  • activation group 8 will enable/disable the gyroscope, for the most part it isn't needed so just disable it
  • Everything else is just as normal

    @Levi124 Unfortunately it would have moved the CoM a bit too far ahead of the CoL, which im sure given enough time I could figure it out, but I didn’t spend all that much on this one :)

    @SkyFly how about making the something in the front of the plane heavy? Will that work or no?

    @Levi124 It does indeed, you can trim it for different speeds, I just could get the low speed performance without adjusting the angle of the horizontal stabs

    @SkyFly I mean it flies well just that it constantly pitches up slowly, but other than that it flies well.

    @Levi124 Doesn't it just, I was a little bit miffed by the chord of the wings, definitely something wrong with my model haha
