Big ass plane is here!

My new 48" P51d Mustang arrived last night. This thing is bigger than I expected!  The box didn't even fit in the trunk of my car!  I had to put it in the front seat!

Box contents. The box's length came up to under my chin!

Assembly was pretty easy.  I did need to solder a Deans connector onto the speedo though as I don't use EC3's, which is the connector it came with. The hardest part was deciding how to route the servo wires from the wing into the fuselage and keep them tidy. I also needed to figure out how to tape the 2 antenna wires in a 90 deg position to each other. I ended up orienting the short antenna up and routing the long antenna towards the back of the plane in parallel to the fuselage. This way the 2 antennas were 90 degrees to each other. 

After figuring that out, I plugged in the battery and tested the control surfaces, flaps, and landing gear. The retractable landing gear was cool!

Size comparison between my 14" UMX P51 and the 48" P51!

What am I getting myself into?!?
