Description
The FMS P-51D Mustang V8 1450mm Red Tail – ARTF (FMS008P) refines a legendary warbird with careful, considered upgrades. FMS focuses on craftsmanship and evolution rather than radical redesigns, delivering a more durable airframe, improved scale detail and an enhanced flying experience in this Red Tail edition.
For warbird enthusiasts seeking realism and stability, the V8 iteration stands out. Subtle but meaningful updates include slower, more scale-like retract action, shock-absorbing struts, a new gear-door sequencer, metal-gear servos throughout and a convenient sliding battery tray. An upgraded 80A ESC with 5A SBEC and the FMS gold PAEP motor round out the power system improvements, while the sliding canopy and open air intake add to the authentic presence.

This needs a 4s battery they recommend at least 2600 mah for run time.
Yes if the grass is nicely trimmed it will be fine , this will not land on long grass .
This is not something we would recommend as a beginner i would look at trainer planes first also you want an RTF version with the transmitter and battery and charger ideally something like this FMS138R-REFV2
