P-51 Mustang? help needed

[Keith Blanton]

This plane came with a brushed motor I want to put a brushless motor in it. Plane has a 30" wing span and a 8.5x6 prop im new to the hobby need some recommendations on what motor to go with not looking for something to fast.

Any of the Eflite Park 370 innrunners would work perfectly.

Please be aware that you will need to change out the speed controller (ESC). I like the YEP brand from Hobby King. Look for a 10 amp plus size ESC.

All the best,
Konrad

I would go with Flitetest's B-pack or its equivalent. That looks to be inbetween FliteTest's mini mustang and their regular one, so their B-pack should be just about perfect. It's a motor ment for slower style park flyers too. Slap a slowfly prop on it and youll have the power to hover it if needed.

Can you show a pic of the electronics? It may be that the receiver and the ESC are on one board. If you want to go brushless, you would need a brushless ESC (with BEC) and a receiver.

If you show a picture of the receiver and ESC I'm sure that someone can make a good recommendation on the components that you need.

Sweet looking Mustang BTW. Who makes it?

What type of battery? 2 or 3 cell?

It has a separate receiver but I have one to put back in for my radio and planned on getting a new esc when I get the motor
It has a 3 cell 450mah battery that's no good I just cut out a little foam so my 850mah 3s will fit in it
It's made my parkflyers rc

I think, as mentioned previously, the EMAX CF2822 with a 9X4.7 SF prop should make it fly nicely. Please let us know how it turns out and I'd love to see pics of how to went it and completed. Good luck.

I had that exact one!

Went brushless too. Just be aware, that plane is really hard to fly and snap rolls like .... yeah. :black_eyed:

It needs 500g+ of thrust to have enough power to fly at all well.

Oh and I recommend the CF 28-12 and a 7x6 with a 1000mah 3S.
