Hyperion
Mustang P51, SSSSuper-Scale Series, Z-30 Class
SNEAK PREVIEW!
(est Aug 30 sales launch)
Here are some spy shots of the new Hyperion Mustang P-51D, for Z3019 to Z3025 motors. Note that this model pictured is the PROTOTYPE. Scheduled changes to the production version include:
1) Dark blue color will change to a slightly lighter blue with more gray in it.
2) Retract landing gear preinstalled
3) Color decals , instrument panel
4) Custom scale aluminum spinner pre-painted to match cowl exactly
5) Wing servo boxes so that only the aileron linkage is visible
6) Horn color change to grey
7) Wheel hub color change to grey
The all fiberglass fuselage and cowl are simply put, works of art. We think this is one of the best looking Mustangs ever made, and hope you think so too. The model is also extremely light, and strong. Here are some pictures, and see more details in text below.
Power systems to test fly June 20. Using OPTO ESC with KAN 650mAh 4.8V receiver pack. My personal preference is to always use OPTO ESC for models over 1Kg.

The Mustang is dimensionally in the IC Engine "25"
class, with wingspan of 120cm. In fact, the is also a mount included
for 25~30 sized engines, for those who still enjoy wiping up after
every flight....
The model has the 10x7 setup (in blue above) installed now, and we'll test
fly it with this setup first, tomorrow June 19. For those who really
want to use BEC, we think this sytem may be best, or perhaps the one with
9x9 prop. Without receiver pack, the model weighs only 1450g ready to
fly, with the 4000mAh 3S pack. Wow, that is light! With even 50mph top
speed and nearly 1:1 thrust/weight ratio, the model should be ballistic even
at 320W input power.
But we'll probably enjoy mounting that 10x10 prop just to see what it is
like with more thrust than weight, and actual top speed approaching 70mph!!
In the end, the Z3025-10 with 3100mAh 4S and 9x6 prop may be the most
enjoyable, flyable combination, as the small prop will minimize torque
reaction, and make landings easier.
We'll also try the lighter Z3019-10 on 3S BEC to see what she flies like at
the lowest possible weight. That will suit pilots who want outstanding
power performance, but who have a preference for easiest handling and
perhaps fly at smaller fields.
More feedback after we've flown them all....

Mustangs really need a scale Mustang spinner to look right. We tried some plastic units, but shape and color weren't quite right, and they were heavy, too. So we'll build a light aluminum spinner, and paint it to match perfectly....
Beautiful molded panel lines and rivet details! And the canopy makes us pretty proud, too.
The actual yellow is a little darker than pictured here...
