RANGE TESTING THE DX6I
Step 1
With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces
(approx. 90 feet or 28 meters) away from the model.
Step 2
Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying
position. Place the transmitter in the range check screen and
pull and hold the trainer switch on the top of the transmitter.
This causes reduced power output from the transmitter.
Step 3
You should have total control of the model with the trainer
switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet).
Step 4
If control issues exist, call your local service center for
further assistance. Their contact information is located in the
warranty section of this manual.

Section 19:
Flight Preparations
Flight preparations must be checked each time you travel
to the flying field. Because the P-51 PTS Mustang will
encounter a variety of situations, it is best to keep an eye on
the various components of your model to keep it in the best
flying condition.
Checking the Frequency
When using a Spektrum radio system, follow the guidelines
for use of DSM radio systems at your particular field.
Checking the Controls
Before starting your engine, check to make sure the controls
are operating in the correct directions and the linkages and
surfaces are not binding anywhere. Also look at the clevises
and clevis retainers to make sure they are secure and will not
come loose or fail in flight.
Fueling the P-51 PTS Mustang
Fill the fuel tank with the proper fuel. Fill the tank by
connecting the fuel pump to the line going to the needle
valve. Disconnect the fuel line attached to the pressure fitting
of the muffler; your tank is full when fuel begins to run out
of the pressure line. Reconnect the fuel lines to the needle
valve assembly and muffler.
Note: It is very important to reconnect the lines to the
correct place. If they are reconnected incorrectly, the
engine will not run properly.
Section 20:
Starting and Adjusting
the Evolution Engine
FUEL
The Evolution Engine comes adjusted from the factory. We
recommend using high quality Cool Power Omega or Power
Engine has been test run using these fuels. If another brand
of fuel is used, it may be necessary to slightly adjust the
needle valves to compensate for the differences in fuel.
GLOW PLUG
The Evolution Engine comes with a specially designed
"Super Plug" that prevents idle and transition flameouts. The
plug's unique shape directs incoming fuel/air mixture away
from the plug element. When replacing the plug, be sure to
replace it with another Evolution Super Plug (EVOGP1).
STARTING THE ENGINE
Step 1
Step 2
Reattach the fuel lines, making sure the vent and clunk line
are attached to the fuel nipple and the muffler pressure nipple.
Caution: Do not attach the glow driver yet.
Step 3
With the throttle fully open, place your thumb over the
carburetor and rotate the prop clock-wise through six
complete revolutions, thus priming the engine.
