About the P-51D Mustang BNF Airplane

BNF P-51D Mustang Replica Design

The E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m BNF Basic Electric Airplane is a sleek and durable warbird that brings legendary WWII fighter design to RC flying with impressive ease of use and modern-day technology. Carefully crafted to replicate the classic P-51D Mustang, this 1.0m model is both lightweight and robust, constructed from high-density EPO foam that’s been composite reinforced for extra strength. The realistic two-blade propeller setup enhances both performance and efficiency, reducing the risk of damage from belly landings. The plane’s size and Bind-N-Fly (BNF) format make it perfect for pilots looking for a convenient model that’s ready to fly quickly—simply bind it to a compatible Spektrum transmitter. With a spacious, top-mounted hatch and a one-piece wing that’s removable for transport, this model seamlessly combines historical authenticity with easy handling for everyday flying..

Powerful Electronics with SAFE & AS3X+

Equipped with a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC and a powerful, specially tuned motor, the P-51D Mustang 1.0m can be flown on both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries, making it versatile enough to match the skills and ambitions of a wide range of pilots. The aircraft’s Spektrum AR631 receiver features AS3X+ stabilization technology, which actively smooths out turbulence and wind effects to create a stable, “locked-in” feel in the air.

For those newer to warbird models or looking for an extra layer of flight support, the SAFE Select system is an invaluable asset, offering pitch and bank angle limits to prevent unintentional over-rotation and automatic self-leveling to maintain stability when sticks are centered. The simplicity of enabling SAFE Select is ideal for low-time pilots, while experienced flyers can easily switch it off for full control. Additionally, telemetry functions in compatible Spektrum transmitters provide real-time data on RPM, battery status, and more, enhancing situational awareness throughout every flight.

Versatile & Advanced Aerodynamic Performance

In terms of aerodynamic performance, the P-51D Mustang 1.0m is exceptionally agile and powerful, thanks to its optimized design and advanced electronic components. The choice of 3S or 4S power systems offers flexible flight characteristics: 3S batteries provide smooth, steady flight suitable for developing skills, while 4S batteries unlock higher speeds and vertical performance, allowing for advanced aerobatics. For takeoffs and landings, the Mustang is equipped with durable landing gear, including a steerable tail wheel for ground maneuverability. Pilots can also remove the landing gear for faster speeds, easier hand launching, and belly landings on grass. With features like Hand Launch Assist Mode and an intuitive assembly process, this model embodies both classic warbird flair and state-of-the-art performance, making it a top choice for a wide range of pilots.

Skill Level 2 – Next Step After a Trainer – Some Experience Required

Skill Level 2 – Next Step After a Trainer aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who have successfully learned to fly a trainer model and those with the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. Although this is one of the easiest to fly P-51 models yet, it’s not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly a trainer model like the HobbyZone AeroScout 1.1m and Carbon Cub 1.3m, or models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m and other similar class models before attempting to fly the P-51D Mustang 1.0m BNF Basic version.

Versatile Power

The factory-installed brushless power system features a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC plus a specially tuned motor that delivers an abundance of thrust with a 3S 1300–2200mAh LiPo battery or more speed and unlimited vertical performance with up to a 4S 2200mAh battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades.

Telemetry Capable

The P-51D Mustang 1.0m is equipped with telemetry-capable ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR631) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly.

Easy Assembly

No glue is required for final assembly, and you can have the P-51D Mustang 1.0m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! And although it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in just about any vehicle, you can also remove the one-piece wing equipped with hands-free connections for even easier storage and transport.

Gear Option

You can use the included fixed landing gear – with a steerable tail wheel in the scale location and simulated gear doors/strut covers – to taxi, take off from and land on smooth surfaces. Or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy hand launches over and landings on grass – especially while utilizing the automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode and SAFE Select featured in the BNF Basic version.

Durable Precision

The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is composite reinforced for added strength. And the factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
