It has been way more than 24 hours since I finished painting, so I am officially done!
Here is this plane compared the the last mini mustang that I made. The new one is the red one. Also, I found out that the paint added 13 grams, so it is now 256 grams without a battery. With my heavy battery it is 414 grams, and with the light one it is 386 grams (I think). Definitely doing the maiden with the light battery.

Thanks! The blue one was painted after multiple crash landings and it needed the sticks to keep the tail straight.

I have been waiting for a few weeks to fly the mustang but the day finally came! The launch was a little rough, but I got it leveled out and it flew nice. The problem is that it was hard to see, but the red and black paint helped with that. Also, having a little red on the top of the wing and solid black on the bottom really helped with orientation. It was quicker than expected and had a lot of power. What really surprised me though, was the acceleration. As soon as I hit the throttle, it shot off like crazy. It also flew a little slower just fine, and I could cruise around below half throttle. Now for landing. I was very scared to land this, but it turned out alright. It didn't tip stall or anything, but I might have to work on flaring a bit. Overall it was great! The plane is easier to fly and lighter than I remembered, and it is also much faster than expected. The plane is also good in the wind. It was really windy out, enough to blow my fairly large cub off of a table, but I did not notice one single bit with the mustang. So yeah, I'm very happy with this plane and it is definitely one of my favorites. There is a video of the maiden and I will try to post soon.
Awesome!

I own the ft mustang, it just doesn't have any electronics yet still got to order them, and my dog decided to step on one of the wings when I was building, so now to rebuild another wing, I mean half a wing
Nothing a little glue and tape can't fix.

put clear tape over the hole to look like battle holes
