Warbird in the Park
Following hot on the heels of their popular Zero Park Flyer, GWS
models takes a page from the European theatre of WWII history with the
introduction of their new P-51 Park Flyer. Fully aerobatic, this
foam ARF is a great way to experience warbird thrills in the
friendly confines of your favorite sunny summer day hangout.
Relax or Rock Out
The excess power of the P-51's EPC300C power unit, a 370 motor and
gearbox, allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: easy breezy
slow- speed cruising or unbridled aerobatic bliss. The Mustang's
slow-speed stability is outstanding, with no startling tip stall
tendencies to watch out for. At the other end of the performance
spectrum, its aerobatic repertoire includes loops from level flight
(inside or out), barrel rolls, and even inverted flight. The extra
power also lets you take to the skies in breezes of as much as 10mph
that would ground most other park flyers. All in all, there really
isn't a whole lot this go-anywhere fun machine can't do.

The P-51 is designed
to accept the optional GWS retracts, GWSRGPM. You will still
need to cut out the linkage grooves. |
Goes Together Fast
Like GWS's other park flyer kits, there's not a lot of assembly
required to get the Mustang airborne. The fuselage and wing parts
come out of the box already painted in silver. What minor assembly
is left can be accomplished over a weekend without breaking a sweat.
While hardware and the motor system are included, the modeler does
need to provide a radio and flightpack of their own. GWS models offers
several electronics packages tailor made for the Mustang from entire
systems with transmitter to just the flight packs. Once assembled,
depending on the equipment chosen, the Mustang will weigh in at
around 16-18 ounces.
We'd have to say, unequivocally, the new GWS mustang is ounce-for-ounce one
of the most thrilling park flyer experiences out there. Its
combination of slow-speed stability and rock-and-roll aerobatic
ability are definitely a departure from the usual park flyer fare.
