A few warnings: Don't yank on the controls too hard, you'll fall into a spin. You kind of have to roll slightly to the right and gently pull up constantly during take off.

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in 1940 by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission for license-built Curtiss P-40 fighters. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed and first flew on 26 October.[5][6]

    @BogdanX I'm starting to realize that it simply won't fly properly with the CoL and CoM farther apart, it needs to have trim all the way down for barely level flight.

    @BogdanX I'll fix that in a bit, I'm thinking of also getting flaps to put on it, I may even reupload it today.
