They were used in almost every major battle in Europe and was even active in the Korean War.īut the dominance of the P51 would not have been possible without an upgrade with the Rolls Royce Merlin engine, which allowed it to reach higher altitudes and compete with German fighters. More than 15.000 P51's were build, and it is said the Mustang is responsible for destroying over 4.950 enemy aircrafts. Originally, the P51 was developed for the British RAF but was later adopted by the U.S. It is regarded as one of the finest piston engine air crafts produced in high numbers.
This airplane literally changed the course of the war. The North American P51 Mustang is perhaps THE airplane you think of when 'Warbird' is mentioned. Image from Wikipedia. P-51 takes off from Iwo Jima. From the easy builders to the expert kits.ĥ Awesome RC Warbirds (that you want to build) So in this post, we will talk about 5 Warbirds. It's all the more special to have someone come up to you and ask you about the unique build you're showing off. It's not as fun to always see the same planes. It's very cool to imagine flying a plane that fought in the second World War, changing the course of human history.
Obviously the way it's build, but also the story it tells and what it means to you. RC Warbirds! They're fun to build, fun to fly.īuilding your own RC airplane from a kit is exciting on it's own, but the airplane you pick makes a big difference.
