This FMS P-51D Mustang has a 57" Wingspan and puts on a great airshow with the right man on the sticks. There are two other planes which make brief appearances in the video and they are my Parkzone F4U Corsair WWII Warbird and my buddy's E-flite P-51 Mustang "Dallas Doll".

Some of you may remember the video I shot of him this past summer flying at Warbirds Over Whatcom with his Top Flite Giant Scale Focke Wulf FW-190. Here is the video just in case you missed that awesome flight: https://youtu.be/lPVOvmazQvo

This is how FMS describes this plane:
"FMS is and will always be committed to developing the best foam aircraft worldwide.The latest version (V8) makes the historical P-51D even more attractive. Though the changes are not that significant, it shows our serious attitude to our products, and our continuing pursuit towards perfection

Many consider the P51 as one of the most amazing warbird's and would like to have one in their collection. If you are one of the many, then the FMS 1400mm P-51D V8 is the right one for you. We believe that the current 1400mm P-51D V8 is one of the finest RC foam airplanes the world over."

Here is some history on this plane:
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 conceived, designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a specification issued directly to NAA by the British Purchasing Commission. 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][7]

The Mustang was originally designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine, which had limited high-altitude performance. It was first flown operationally by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber (Mustang Mk I). The addition of the Rolls-Royce Merlin to the P-51B/C model transformed the Mustang's performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft, matching or bettering that of the Luftwaffe's fighters.[8][nb 1] The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series two-stage two-speed supercharged engine, and armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.[10]

From late 1943, P-51Bs (supplemented by P-51Ds from mid-1944) were used by the USAAF's Eighth Air Force to escort bombers in raids over Germany, while the RAF's 2 TAF and the USAAF's Ninth Air Force used the Merlin-powered Mustangs as fighter-bombers, roles in which the Mustang helped ensure Allied air superiority in 1944.[11] The P-51 was also used by Allied air forces in the North African, Mediterranean and Italian theaters, and saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. During World War Two, Mustang pilots claimed 4,950 enemy aircraft shot down.[nb 2]

At the start of the Korean War, the Mustang was the main fighter of the United Nations until jet fighters such as the F-86 took over this role; the Mustang then became a specialized fighter-bomber. Despite the advent of jet fighters, the Mustang remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s. After WW2 and the Korean War, many Mustangs were converted for civilian use, especially air racing, and increasingly, preserved and flown as historic warbird aircraft at airshows.

Notable appearances in media:
- The Tuskegee Airmen (1995), the story of how a group of African-American pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest U.S. fighter groups in World War II, flying P-51s, although the 99th Squadron would have used P-40s and P-39s during their North African stint.[114]
- Red Tail Reborn (2007), the story behind the restoration of a flying memorial aircraft.
- Red Tails (2012) is a George Lucas produced film about the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group, featuring P-51 Mustangs in their role as escort fighters.[115]
