Arrived quickly with no problems or damage. I have not built it yet, but looks great, I have the FL P-51 that flies fantastic, which is why I bought this one. Hope to build and fly it very soon.

I recently purchase the D-9 Dora for myself and the sister plane, P-51 for a friend. The overall quality of the D-9 is excellent. I did add paint to a few minor spots, such as the nose guns. My friend found his P-51 motor was stiff to turn. Wires running from the motor were hard against the motor body. He push the wires away from the motor body which solved his problem. We have not had a chance to fly our planes yet but I'm expecting both to fly well.

Overall a nice littel flyer.I fly with 3S 2200 and the flighttime is about 9 min.! After I broke the stock prop (9x5) I changed to APC 9x7,5 Thin Electic. This prop gives way more punch and the plane handels very well with it. The amperage rised from 15 A with the stock prop to 21 A with the new APC 9x7,5 and the flightime is reduced to 8 min., which is also a very good(long) time. Give it a try, when your stock prop is broken...

This little bird is definitely fun to fly! Once you get it dialed in and trimmed to how you like your planes set up, it is a blast to fly. (I use 75% high rate and 55% low rate. 30% expo for both). I bundled the recommended admiral receiver with it to put in. This is my first time setting up this receiver so I used the video series as a guide. Easy to follow and I went with combo C on the gyro setting so I can turn it off/on as desired. As far as the plane's performance, it will fly out of your hand on 3 or 4 cell. If you use full throttle launch with a 4 cell, be ready to correct the initial torque roll. What I'm most impressed with is the flight duration. My other war birds have a typical flight time in the 5-7 minutes range so I set my timer for 7 min. I checked the battery after bringing it in and still had a solid 2-3 minutes left before reaching low voltage shut off. Maybe more time if I stayed off the throttle but with this plane, that's hard to leave alone! Typical war bird landings as you'll have to fly it down. Kill the throttle just before touch down and watch it belly slide. Don't forget to turn the motor brake off before your maiden flight so as not to break a prop. I also had to arm the esc before it would run on throttle command. (Video tutorial for all that.) My aileron servo had to be reversed, but no big deal. The plane is large enough to see in the air but small enough you won't have to disassemble to transport. That was another reason for my purchase of the fw-190. Eagerly awaiting the next model release in this series! I love my high wings and motorized gliders, but this little gem brings a lot of raw fun back to flying for me.

I love this plane it fly's awesome and is perfect on 4 cell 2200. I used a Spectrum V900 RX for perfect hand launches in safe mode and switch to regular flight with a bit of AS3x to smooth it out on windy days. Rock solid and strong during a crash test. Still fly's great. Fast or slow flight all good. Great job Flightline!
