  • Manuals/Files

The H-King P51 "Galloping Ghost" is the first in a new mini-series from H-King, the "Reno Aces", WW2 fighters dressed to impress at the air races. The P-51 "Galloping Ghost" with the included stock 3108-1070KV brushless motor offers a really quick model straight out of the box with speeds approaching 100mph when using the recommended 2200mah 4S lipo. However, if you are an experienced hand and are looking for 100+ mph speeds then there is the optional drop-in fit 3108-1170KV 'Pro' brushless motor. This will give your great-looking Reno Ace a really ballistic performance on the same prop, ESC, and 4S battery for those that can handle the extra rotational torque on launch.

The P-51 as a design has excellent flying qualities, but the H-King "Galloping Ghost" especially so. Its low drag design and generous wing section results in a model that really grooves and feels locked in at full power, but slow it down and it is a real pussycat too, and just as much fun. The stall is very benign, basically non-existent, the controls remain effective through the complete speed range, and aerobatics, it can do them all. Once you're done with your 6+min flight, fully flared landings are very easy to achieve and make belly landing the P-51 a pure joy.

The full-size "Galloping Ghost" started life being supplied to the Army Air Force during World War II. Once the war was finished it was offered to the public as surplus stock in 1946, being sold for just $3,500. The plane was re-registered as NX7911 and named "Galloping Ghost" and was entered for the popular races that were being held in the States just after the war. In only its second outing in the Kendall Trophy race in 1947, pilot Steve Beville recorded the fastest ever closed-course speed with 384.6mph (619km/h). The Galloping Ghost changed hands (and names) several times over the following years, and had a period of not flying from 1990 to 2009. In 2010 it was made ready to compete in the 2011 Reno Races and was to be flown by Jimmy Leeward. Unfortunately during the race, the aircraft suffered a catastrophic elevator failure which led to it crashing and killing its pilot and spectators. This was a truly tragic closing chapter of the history of the full-size "Galloping Ghost", and one we should always remember.

The H-King version of this classic racing Mustang comes "Plug N Fly" which means it has the motor, ESC, and servos pre-installed. The tough EPO foam is finished in the authentic silver color scheme of NX7911 "Galloping Ghost" with racing number 177. Assembly is very easy and straightforward with its one-piece wing and simple slot in horizontal stabilizer (no glue required). Other features are the substantially reinforced fuselage, plywood, and carbon are used to create a stiffened and strengthened fuselage, and motor box. Plastic skid plates are fitted to all the underside contact areas for protection when landing, and you are supplied with the option of both a clear, or a golden canopy to add the finishing touch to your Mustang.

So to summarize, the H-King P-51 "Galloping Ghost" is fast out of the box with the pre-installed motor (optional 'Pro' motor available for even more speed), it has fantastic flying qualities with good fast and slow speed handling, is strong, and quick to assemble. It is a great contender for use at fun, club pylon racing events with the strength and maneuverability to do "Bank and Yank" pylon turns. A great, fun airplane that is brilliant to fly, looks fantastic in the air, and will have you smiling from ear to ear the whole time you are flying it.

Features: • Up to 100mph on 'Stock' motor. 100+ mph speeds with optional 'Pro' motor • Reinforced EPO foam construction, lightweight, strong and stiff • Plastic skid plates to streamline and protect the airframe • Easy and quick assembly in just a few minutes • Easy to hand launch, super easy to belly land • Super stable at high and low speeds • Optional clear or golden canopy included

P-51 gloopy mustard rc plane. Beautiful plane, it worse the price. The only issu is the plane pull the left when hand launch. Not all parts are abaliable.

MN Flyer | Verified Buyer

Just so so overall. There are better P51s out there.

Jun 07, 2022

It's ok, but I don't love it. There are better P51s out there, and better hand launching racers. They cost a bit more but (IMO) are worth the extra $$. I've one of the FMS P51 racers and that is a far superior plane. Will take the FMS one hands down any day over the HK version. Simple omissions like no battery straps are sorta annoying. Packaging is ok, not the best, though no damage on mine. Paint scheme and markings are blah. It flies well, and I think it flies better slow, but is not really very fast. Not a screaming racer. Not a fan of the $250 threshold for free shipping. I do like the single screw for mounting the wing (clever) and the large battery compartment. (thanks for that). Real hinges were a good touch. Hand launching takes practice. I found that too much throttle produces too much torque and it will left roll on you. Not a bad plane, but I would not recommend it.

I like this thing

May 09, 2022

Maiden this plane in 30k/h wind, very easy to launch , and mostly just glided it with out much trouble using hardly using any battery. Got to fly it in calm conditions , its quite aerobatic and nimble , really fun , plenty fast enough with a 4c don't need the extra fast motor for me , quite well made to , its has a strong nose

A little disappointed

Feb 16, 2022

Received my order and was super excited to open the box. Aircraft was packed really well so I don’t know how the compression marks got on the fuse. Unpacked everything and there was no accessory bag with the wing screw and Velcro that’s suppose to come with the model. The foam dowels that hold the stab in place were laying in the bottom of the box. The push rods basically push into the horn hole with nothing to keep it from pulling out. Looking forward to flying the model, reviews are good. Perhaps when you’re getting ready to ship orders check and make sure all parts are in the box, that’s kind of what’s expected when you say everything is included. First order I’ve had any issues with. Could work on getting your shipping costs down.

General Information

Since 1964 the "National Championship Air Races" have been called the "Worlds Fastest Motor Sport" and one of the last venues where this could be organized was the city Reno in Nevada, USA. Soon the event became known and "Reno Air Races". The most exciting class today is the "Unlimited" class, where heavily modified WW2 Figher Planes run for a trophy. Historic names like "Dago Red', "Miss America", Strega" "Voodoo", and "Galloping Ghost" have all one in common: They base on the P-51 Mustang, the greatest Fighter Plane of All Times!!!

CARF-Models' P-51 Mustang has been around for many years and has proven its sturdiness, reliability and performance. So it was a natural consequence that one day we would look into building a true Reno Racer based on our proven P-51 airframe.

NEW: P-51 VOODOO is now available in the same prefab level, painted in the molds!!!

Our first choice: Galloping Ghost! Unfortunately the real aircraft does not exist anynore, crashed during a gold race in Reno a few years ago, killing its pilot, and some spectators as well. But the myth lives on, more and more, year by year. However, we won't stop there. Dago Red, Miss America and Strega are soon to be introduced , based on the new CARF-Models Reno Mustang Airframe...

Gentlemen, lets have a RACE! The clipped wing and the fuselage with omitted radiator are the main modifications everybody can spot immediately. But the CARF Galloping Ghost and any future Mustang Racer, has some very special "invisbile" modifications over their basic P-51 Mustang:

- much more room under the cowl for big inline engines, as extreme as the KOLM IL-230 3-cyl four stroke engine.

- extreme prefabrication, all the way to the final installation of gear, RC-equipment and powerplant.

- re-engineered structure to withstand extreme G-forces and high wing loading at tight race track patterns 

- painted in the molds, including a master decal set of Tailormade Decals

- upgraded landing gear, engine installation kits and scale propeller round this breathtaking new CARF kit up

Composite Parts & Prefabrication

Produced in TAVS technology, 90% of the airplane's surface are made in superlight and stiff vacuum sandwich. This reduces airframe weight for two reasons: Firstly, to be able to clip the wings to make it faster - and secondly, to install BIGGER ENGINES to make it faster! 

Everything is ready for installation of RC components, linkages, wiring , engine, main gear, tail gear, battery packs, pmeumatics, there is simply no "building" to be done. It is all about equipment installation ONLY. See examples of installation in our prototype:

We tried to find out what is the biggest engine we could possibly install in our Galloping Ghost. We thought about the Kolm 155 3-cylinder inline. But wasn't there a chance to even fit its larger brother, the IL 230 in? We neede do modify the complete front end of our Mustang to make it fit. But we are so glad that we took on the effort. That engine now fits like a glove, a perfectly designed engine installation kit is available and the manual shows the critical areas of engine installation very well. Cooling air flow is totally thought through so you are not left with guess-work. The engine can swing a scale diameter four bladed prop at low RPMs... a sound which lets you get goose bumps.

Hardware & Accessories

Much more complete than before, the new CARF P-51 Mustang kit includes a full hardware package with a lot of additional helpful wood parts and lots of high quality hardware, such as linkages, clevises, ball links, bolts, nuts, servo screws, stab and wing mounting hardware. On top of the actual kit content, an array of accessories is available such as a scale landing gear, tail gear, scale wheels, spinner, full size propeller, and engine installation kits for the very demanding and most powerful multi cylinder inline engines on the market.

Reno Aces P-51 Galloping Ghost from HobbyKing

rc galloping ghost

The H-King P51 "Galloping Ghost" is the first in a new mini-series from H-King, the "Reno Aces", WW2 fighters dressed to impress at the air races. The P-51 "Galloping Ghost" with the included stock 3108-1070KV brushless motor offers a really quick model straight out of the box with speeds approaching 100mph when using the recommended 2200mah 4S lipo. However, if you are an experienced hand and are looking for 100+ mph speeds then there is the optional drop-in fit 3108-1170KV 'Pro' brushless motor. This will give your great-looking Reno Ace a really ballistic performance on the same prop, ESC, and 4S battery for those that can handle the extra rotational torque on launch.

The P-51 as a design has excellent flying qualities, but the H-King "Galloping Ghost" especially so. Its low drag design and generous wing section results in a model that really grooves and feels locked in at full power, but slow it down and it is a real pussycat too, and just as much fun. The stall is very benign, basically non-existent, the controls remain effective through the complete speed range, and aerobatics, it can do them all. Once you're done with your 6+min flight, fully flared landings are very easy to achieve and make belly landing the P-51 a pure joy.

The H-King version of this classic racing Mustang comes "Plug N Fly" which means it has the motor, ESC, and servos pre-installed. The tough EPO foam is finished in the authentic silver color scheme of NX7911 "Galloping Ghost" with racing number 177. Assembly is very easy and straightforward with its one-piece wing and simple slot in horizontal stabilizer (no glue required). Other features are the substantially reinforced fuselage, plywood, and carbon are used to create a stiffened and strengthened fuselage, and motor box. Plastic skid plates are fitted to all the underside contact areas for protection when landing, and you are supplied with the option of both a clear, or a golden canopy to add the finishing touch to your Mustang.

So to summarize, the H-King P-51 "Galloping Ghost" is fast out of the box with the pre-installed motor (optional 'Pro' motor available for even more speed), it has fantastic flying qualities with good fast and slow speed handling, is strong, and quick to assemble. It is a great contender for use at fun, club pylon racing events with the strength and maneuverability to do "Bank and Yank" pylon turns. A great, fun airplane that is brilliant to fly, looks fantastic in the air, and will have you smiling from ear to ear the whole time you are flying it.

  • Up to 100mph on 'Stock' motor. 100+ mph speeds with optional 'Pro' motor
  • Reinforced EPO foam construction, lightweight, strong and stiff
  • Plastic skid plates to streamline and protect the airframe
  • Easy and quick assembly in just a few minutes
  • Easy to hand launch, super easy to belly land
  • Zuper stable at high and low speeds
  • Optional clear or golden canopy included

RC Version of the Legendary “Galloping Ghost”

RC Version of the Legendary “Galloping Ghost” | World War Wings Videos

Remote Control Planes Are Getting More Awesome By The Day

If you heard and saw this Rc Mustang mid-flight, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell that it’s an Rc. This awesome tribute to the real Mustang is as good as it can get when it comes to design, not to mention the sound that the engine makes! This 1:4.5 scale model has a wingspan of over 7 ft. and weighs approximately 54 pounds. It is powered by a 320cc 4 Cylinder-4 stroke Kolm Engine and as you’ll be able to tell, it sounds great!

The real P-51 Galloping Ghost was manufactured in 1944 and was heavily modified for air racing

The P-51 Mustangs entered late in the war and because they were so effective from the get-go, were heavily produced. Once the war ended however, there was a great surplus of them, with some being offered for public purchase at 3,500 U.S.D. (approximately $45,000 today.) The Galloping Ghost was one such plane, and has changed hands quite a few times over the years, ending up owned by Jimmy Leeward in 1983. After racing for three years, the Galloping Ghost experienced engine failure and was restored for the next decade. Resuming racing in 2010, Leeward successfully raced for about a year before tragedy struck when his Mustang experienced trouble and crashed on September 16th, 2011.

Escapement Single channel RC usually meant control of one function - rudder. Early units used a rubber band escapement or a rubber band powered servo. A 1960's single channel transmitter was a metal box with an on/off switch and a key or a momentary push button. Inside the airplane were the receiver/batteries that operated an electric magnet. When the push button on the transmitter was pushed (and everything worked) the magnet was energized. When the transmitters button was released, the electric magnet was off. Also inside the airplane, usually under the wing was the escapement. The heart of the escapement is a wheel attached to a rubber band that extended to the rear of the aircraft. Once the rubber band is wound up, the wheel wants to turn but a latching mechanism operated by the electric magnet holds the wheel in a certain position.  The escapements wheel was also attached to a torque rod that connected to the airplanes rudder. This wheel had 4 positions; 0 degree = neutral, 90 degree = right, 180 degree = neutral and 270 degree = left. Therefore as the wheel rotated we would see the rudder go from neutral to right rudder then to neutral then to left rudder and then back to neutral etc. The latch mechanism would hold the wheel at neutral, either the 0 or 180 degree position. When the button on the transmitter was pushed, the electric magnet would allow the wheel to rotate a 1/4 turn to either the right or left rudder position. When the transmitters button was released the electric magnet would release the latch allowing the wheel to rotate another 1/4 turn back to neutral. All of this translates to..... When the button is pushed on the transmitter, the rudder moves full right (for example) and remains at full right until the button is released which allows the rudder to return to neutral. The next time the button is pushed the rudder moves full left and remains there until the button is released which allows the rudder to return to neutral. The 3rd time the button is pushed the rudder moves right etc. etc................ until the rubber band unwinds. Flying was a series of button taps, sometimes called "once for right and two for left". If you made a right turn and then wanted to make another right turn. The pilot would push and hold for the first right turn - release, push and release for a very fast left followed by push and hold for the 2nd right turn. "Escapement Interface" allows you fly with your escapement using a modern RC system. I have only the interface electronics and do not have the escapements themselves for sale. The "Escapement Interface" is a circuit that plugs into your airplane between the receiver and your escapement. You may plug the interface into the receivers aileron port and the escapement will be energized ever time the transmitters aileron stick is pushed. Option, You can replace the transmitters landing gear switch with a push button and then plug the "Escapement Interface" into the landing gear port of the receiver. This push button then becomes the old time - "push once for right and twice for left" The model selected for this interface should be a slow flier. Keep in mind, in the day, RC models were guided free flight airplanes. Since you are using a modern radio, you might want to plug in a throttle servo as well. Single Function Actuator. A single function actuator was used to operated the rudder. The actuator was much like a servo except instead of a motor there was an electric magnet - and the rudder flapped or pulsed. Probably the most common single function actuator was the "Adams Actuator" used with many Ace RC radio systems. The rudder flapped left/right at a rate of about 11 times per second. Proportional control was achieved by an off set or changing the center of the flapping. "Single function Interface" allows you fly with your actuator using a modern RC system. I have only the interface electronics and do not have the actuators themselves for sale. The "Single function Interface" is a circuit that plugs into your airplane between the receivers aileron port and your (Adams) actuator. The actuator will be energized and pulse when the RC system is turned on. The aileron stick on your transmitter will then change the off set or center of flapping to operate your rudder. The model selected for this interface should be a slow flier. Keep in mind, in the day, RC models were guided free flight airplanes. Since you are using a modern radio, you might want to plug in a throttle servo as well. Yes you can use the aileron servo reversing feature in your transmitter if necessary. Three Function Actuator - Galloping Ghost Galloping Ghost usually used one motor/actuator to operate 3 functions in your model, rudder, elevator and throttle. The most popular actuator was probably the Rand LR-3. The control surfaces flapped left/right and up/down at a rate of about 11 times per second. Proportional control was achieved by an off set or changing the center of the flapping. In the case of throttle, the throttle did not flap/pulse - well maybe a little at full up elevator. The LR-3 actuator provided 5 throttle positions from low to high. The transmitters used had two throttle push buttons, one for high and one for low. The pilot then blip-ed the throttle push buttons to try to find something other than full or idle. These actuators had a couple of unique features that a pilot had to learn to live with. Rudder in either direction also gave up elevator, more rudder - more up. Throttle in either direction also gave full up - only when the pilot was on the transmitters push button, thus the blips. "Galloping Ghost Interface" "Galloping Ghost Interface" allows you fly with your LR-3 actuator using a modern RC system. I have only the interface electronics and do not have the actuators themselves for sale. "Galloping Ghost Interface" is installed in the model and has 3 servo connectors that plug into the receiver; rudder (aileron), elevator and throttle ports. There is also one connector that plugs into the LR-3 actuator.  When the receiver is powered up, the circuit sends out 10 pulses a second (adjustable) to the actuator.  As the transmitters elevator stick is moved up/down the pulses decrease/increase. When the transmitters rudder (aileron) stick is operated there is an off set or change in the center of flapping, for left/right. The transmitters throttle stick is normally left in the center or mid position and can be blip-ed up/hi and or blip-ed down/low to get one of the 5 positions of throttle from the LR-3 actuator. The throttle stick must then be returned to the mid position. Option, You may want to add a spring to the throttles joy stick in your transmitter. The spring will make the throttle stick sit at neutral (mid position) and you can push or blip "up" for high throttle OR push or blip "down" for low throttle The model selected for this interface should be a slow flier. Keep in mind, in the day, RC models were guided free flight airplanes. Yes you can use the servo reversing feature in your transmitter if necessary.

Galloping Ghost -

Single Function Interface

Escapement Interface               

Galloping Ghost Galloping Ghost was a term used in the 1960's for a single channel RC system. While there were many other versions of single channel, Escapement, rudder only etc.  Galloping Ghost gave you proportional control of rudder, elevator and throttle. This inexpensive RC system had one drawback - the control surfaces flapped left/right and up/down at a rate of about 11 times per second. Control was achieved by an off set or changing the center of the flapping. The servo or actuator used had only one motor for the 3 functions and was a mechanical marvel. The most popular was probably the Rand LR-3 actuator.

I  have 3 different "Interface electronics" that will allow you to fly either; Escapement, Single function actuator or the 3 function Galloping Ghost actuator with today's RC systems. I do not have the actuators themselvs for sale, just the interface electronics.
