Gemma Jane Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'll welcome new models from PZ, do we know what they are yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 And the answer is: Wait for it: Another P51D, doh! Like there is not enough of these at the moment. Here is the link. http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ1880 It does not seem to have gone down too well on a US based forum.

Gemma Jane Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 This I would have said was totally predictable Tony. I had myself converted the earlier PZ Mustang to dual aileron servo and brushless and was considering a new build with working rudder. "Z-foam" construction makes it more like the Trojan/Corsair rather than the original PZ Mustang's flimsy extruded nonsence, there is a gap in my hangar for a better P-51D than the original. PLEASE MR. PARKZONE give me a white one though to finish! I think perhaps it won't be a popular decision with established modellers, but PZ are always looking to those new to the hobby and I suspect they did there market research for this one very well indeed. Hopefully building on the failings of the original PZ Mustang to give us a model much more like the Trojan and Corsair with the P-51D's gorgeous profile. I say bravo to their marketting department. I already want one. Edited By Gemma Fairchild on 30/04/2009 14:37:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil C Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I can see the benefits over the last P-51D, but it would have been so nice to see a different model!! Sorry Parkzone, but i won't be spending my cash on this one. Doesn't even have 2.4Ghz! Seems there taking a step back with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Jane Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 eeer the BNF in the link does have 2.4Ghz it comes with an AR500 doesn't it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The P51 is going down like a lead baloon on the US forum. Mind you, the plane has been designed to have an appeal to the masses, rather than some of the forum regulars. Shame its not the same size as the Trojan or Corsair though.

Phil C Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oh Yeah, Strange they didn't put it on the RFT though!! Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Jane Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I imagine it hasn't gone down that well. Can you imagine though how the market research goes for a new warbird model for these big companies that are offsetting their mould costs against 100,000+ projected sales Question 1) What would you like Mustang Spitfire Corsair FW-190 BF-109 P-38 P-40 You simply ain't getting anything interesting from these manufacturers in the near future!

Tony Read 2 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Allegedly the next PZ warbird is in this photo (the real plane of course, not the model!). Take your pick!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
