P-51D Mustang "Big Beautiful Doll" 1.5m BNF Basic

P-51D Mustang "Big Beautiful Doll" 1.5m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select

The E-flite® P-51D Mustang 1.5m has been recognized as one of the best P-51 models ever, featuring outstanding flight characteristics, impressive details, and easy assembly, storage, and transport. Now it’s back in the legendary “Big Beautiful Doll” design, equipped with softer tires and improved technologies such as AS3X+, optional SAFE Select, and Smart Transmitter File in the BNF Basic version.

E-flite P-51D Mustang Big Beautiful Doll 1.5 m - Introduction

The Truman Senate War Investigating Committee described the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang as “the most aerodynamically perfect fighter aircraft in existence.” During World War II, it destroyed trains, ships, and enemy installations throughout Western Europe. The “D” variant, equipped with the legendary Merlin engine, gave the U.S. Army Air Forces a high-flying, long-range fighter capable of escorting heavy bomber formations all the way to Berlin and back. The original E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.5m also went all out to recreate the famous fighter with exceptional detail, impressive handling, powerful performance, and a commanding presence. Now it’s available again—this time in the unique and iconic “Big Beautiful Doll” design that made Colonel John Landers famous. During World War II, he scored a total of 14.5 aerial victories, including 4.5 in the P-51. The model features softer main landing gear tires and continues to offer the same extra-scale details and functional features, including LED navigation lights, sequentially controlled main and tail wheel landing gear doors, landing flaps, and much more. Both versions are equipped with the proven, reliable, and 6S-compatible motor, as well as a Spektrum Avian 100A Smart ESC. The BNF Basic version also includes an AR637TA+ receiver that transmits real-time telemetry data and supports the advanced technologies AS3X+, SAFE Select, and Smart Transmitter File. This combination delivers an unparalleled flying experience with the Mustang.

E-flite P-51D Mustang Big Beautiful Doll 1.5 m Overview

The 1.5 m P-51D Mustang is the largest, most detailed, and most powerful replica of the legendary fighter aircraft that E-flite has ever developed! In addition to its true-to-original silhouette, it offers a wealth of additional scale details, including molded-in panel lines and maintenance hatches, mock-up weapons, and removable auxiliary fuel tanks, as well as the impressive “Big Beautiful Doll” design. Functional extra scale features include LED navigation lights, sequenced landing gear doors for the main and tail wheels, landing flaps, and more. The reliable electric retractable landing gear controls both the tailwheel and the main landing gear, which is equipped with shock absorbers and fully ball-bearing-mounted wheels. The new, softer tires with a diamond tread pattern allow for takeoffs and landings on various surfaces, including asphalt and grass. At the heart of the model is a proven, factory-installed brushless motor that is compatible with 6S LiPo batteries. With a 6S battery (3200–7000 mAh), the Mustang reaches airspeeds of over 130 km/h and offers unlimited climb performance for a flight experience that surpasses the original! Both versions of the model include a 100-amp Spektrum Avian Smart ESC. The BNF Basic version is additionally equipped with an AR637TA+ receiver, which transmits full-range telemetry data—such as battery voltage, current, temperature, and more—in real time to compatible transmitters, whether using Smart or non-Smart batteries. In addition, the receiver offers the benefits of improved AS3X+ technology and the optional SAFE Select feature, making it one of the easiest-to-fly giant-scale P-51 models. The unique 3-piece wing design ensures maximum convenience during transport and storage, as the main landing gear is integrated into the center section and the outer wing sections can be snapped into place easily and securely without tools or screws. Assembly is also quick and straightforward, as the EPO fuselage can be screwed together in less time than it takes to charge a battery. All of this adds up to a warbird flying experience that’s second to none—with the most impressive Mustang yet!

Before flying the P-51D Mustang 1.5m BNF Basic version, you should already have experience with models such as the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m, the T-28 Trojan 1.1m, warbirds in the 1.2m to 1.5m range, or other models in this class.


Bind-N-Fly® Equipment Advantage
Do you already have a Spektrum™ transmitter? With Bind-N-Fly (BNF) model airplanes, it’s never been easier to get airborne quickly while enjoying the best possible control. The models come equipped with a power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver. All you have to do is bind the receiver to a compatible remote control, complete any final assembly steps—and you’re ready to take off!


Exclusive Technologies
The BNF Basic version of the 1.5 m P-51D Mustang is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver, which features the exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. The improved AS3X+ works in the background to compensate for the effects of wind and turbulence. This creates a smooth flying experience that makes you feel like you’re flying a much larger aircraft. The optional SAFE Select feature provides pitch and roll angle limits as well as automatic self-stabilization, which can be turned on and off via a switch. If you don’t want to use the SAFE Select features, you can simply bind the receiver normally so that only AS3X+ is active.


Smart Transmitter File
This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver that offers a Smart Transmitter File (STF) function, which makes programming your transmitter a breeze. As soon as you bind your transmitter to an STF-compatible aircraft, all programming parameters are automatically downloaded from the receiver exactly as you want them. Switch assignments, rates, Expo, telemetry, and voice prompts configure themselves automatically. No lengthy step-by-step instructions. No constant adjustments. Just press a button, and you’ll be in the air in no time!


Smart Technology
The P-51D Mustang 1.5 m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC, which provides a wide range of real-time telemetry data from the power system, including total battery voltage and more with both Smart and non-Smart batteries. This data is transmitted via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare-enabled transmitters (such as the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6 through NX20, iX12 through iX20, and others) during flight.
