Make it powerful and make it able to fly far. These simple requirements sparked North American Aviation to create a phenomenal weapon called the P-51. Beyond its muscle, gas storage and gun slinging capabilities, pilots loved to fly it. Better known as the Mustang, it became America's favorite fighter airplane, possibly of all time. The Hangar 9® P-51D Mustang 20cc ARF brings valiant tales of this warbird to life in a convenient 1/6th-scale model with unrivaled authenticity.

The Hangar 9® P-51D Mustang 20cc ARF is an expertly crafted model that combines modern engineering, outstanding flight capability, plus no compromise power-it-the-way-you-want with gas, glow, or electric power to deliver a replica warbird with stunning looks. Modeled after Mustangs used by the 375th Fighter Squadron during WWII, it's constructed in 1/6th-scale with lightweight balsa and plywood for legendary durability.

Leading the list of stunning details is the expertly applied, satin-finish covering of the sleek airframe. The lightweight material captures scale features like panel lines, rivets, stenciling and distinct colors for a brilliant appearance that's also durable. Bringing its authenticity even further is a well-appointed cockpit with a 3D instrument panel, an intricately painted pilot figure and faceted utility compartment. The updated cowling with a more scale-like shape features a matching finish with inlets and exhaust, plus a matching spinner. Optional-use wing tanks can be attached on the included wing pylons, or removed to improve high-speed maneuverability. Functional shock-absorbing gear struts include scale-style axles with room for the large wheels that make flying from grass easier.

No matter how you look at it, this Mustang is an impressive model for its size. Its two-piece wings smoothly connect with the scale wing fillet and distinct air scoop. Control surfaces feature an airfoiled design for smoother flight, and scale hinge mounting points lines with factory drilled hinges for easy installation. You can take the scale experience higher by replacing the rugged fixed landing gear with E-flite® electric retracts available for both the main and tail when locations (sold separately or in money-saving combos). Functional flaps allow a wider flight envelope that includes shorter takeoffs and slower landing speeds.

A large top-hatch provides extensive interior access from the cockpit to the firewall. The included hardware package is complete to make assembly as simple as possible and provide easy-to-install mounting options for all the engine and electric power recommendations. No matter what power plant you install, handling in the air is impressive with a look and control feel that honors the original. Whether this is your first warbird, or the perfect complement to your collection, the Hangar 9 P-51D Mustang 20cc ARF model is the model you've been looking for.
