SIG P-51B Mustang ARF
Prior to production of the P-51B, fighter escorts such as the P-47 did not have the required range and had to turn back, leaving the bombers to make their bombing runs with no fighter protection. North American Aviation went to work delivering the first P-51 prototype in just 102 days and it was a remarkable step forward in fighter performance. The P-51B could climb to 20,000 feet (6,100 m) in less than 6 minutes and fly 440 mph (710 km/h) at altitude. Most importantly, it was the range of 1080 miles (1738 km) a whopping 2600 mile (4184 km) range with drop tanks, which enabled the P-51B to escort the bombers all the way to Berlin.

The SIG P-51B Mustang ARF is modeled after the famous "Shangri-La" which was so effective in combat that Gen Eisenhower once remarked to pilot Don Gentile, "You are a one man air force!"
The SIG P-51B is loaded - flaps, retracts, complete .Shangri-La. decal set, painted fiberglass cowl, molded canopy, spinner, wheels, engine mount, fuel tank and detailed illustrated assembly manual. The model is hand built from balsa and plywood and expertly covered in SIG AeroKote®.

As you would expect from SIG, this is a show-stopper - a scale ARF model that others will land their planes to watch fly. The real fun comes when you suck up the landing gear. This is what the Mustang was born to do, race across the ground at a full gallop. Yet, when you lower the flaps and landing gear, the model slows to an easy, predictable touchdown.
Controls: rudder, elevator, ailerons, flaps, retracts, throttle.
