Every plane has a life span, the P-51 has reached that age. It will no longer fly straight nor climb while flying. There is more glue than foam in the cowl and other places. While flying the last flight the ESC shorted out the RX so that was it. Wasn't worth the money to buy a new RX ($60) for a mustang that wouldn't fly well any more.
Eulogy:

Overall, the micro mustang was a great airplane. I think I may have modified it too much, that could be the reason for its early retirement. Now it stands proudly on my desk, a scale model to decorate
