Model built by Bryan McLarty

The Laser Arts P-51 Mustang electric park flyer was designed from the ground up in 3D CAD to be a Scale, Lightweight, Great Flying, Parkflyer.

Interlocking laser cut balsa and plywood parts make for a fast and accurate build.

This model has been flown in winds of 20+ MPH! It is more relaxing to fly in calmer winds though. Flying the model is a pleasure, and the plane has excellent low speed characteristics while still having a good upper end speed range as well. Being a parkflyer, you can really slow it down to "loiter" in the area! Powered by a brushed or brushless system, the model performs VERY well, handling any basic aerobatic maneuver and some that the real thing couldn't do! Throw in a brushless system and really watch it perform! HUGE loops, vertical performance, and high speed passes look, and sound, great! We highly reccomend a brushless setup for this plane to really bring out the Mustang!

The plane was deisnged for retracts from the start, though it does come with fixed gear. Changing from fixed to retractable gear and back again is super easy and does not require any modification to the airframe.
