Hey all,
been flyin for a few years now, i can handle 4 channels with ease, and maybe some of you saw my post on my 3D build. Ive run plenty of nitro powered cars, from my traxxas t-maxx to my high speed nitro RS4 touring car. Ive got engine tuning skills on my belt as well. Got a local hobbyshop for a variety of parts and fuel. My main question is, how much space do i need? Ive seen the hangar 9 p 51 mustang rtf, not the blue one, but the red and grey one. I thought it would be good. im sure some of you have seen the flite test video on it. they said its good for a first glow model, but not a good first model in general. It would be my 4th model over about 2 years of flying. being a warbird, they said its still a very docile trainer. it has leading wing extensions, and flaps to slow it down for beginners and maiden flights. I have yet to have a particularly *fast* model, but ive got control down pretty well. So again, my question is how much space do i need for such a model? I plan to, if i bought it, to install servos for controllable flaps, so when landing or taking off, i could slow down. The places i currently fly are either running track fields (1/4 mile oval tracks) or a local park field with an office building right next door.... the local park field is the equivalent of about the area of 1.75 runnign track fields, but in a triangle shape. The trees in my area surround most of the fields i fly in, but they arent super tall, only like 40 feet. once im above them, there is a large airspace with high visibility. and landing. im not so concerned about take off distance, but rather landing distance. this plane is said to "come in hot". Is a strait away on a running track long enough? Thanks for reading my long post haha i have so many questions, and ive been screwed by the small questions like this ive ignored. Thanks for any help! If anyone out there owns this plane, please dont hesitate to chime in! Thanks!
