  • Page 5 1. Hinge Check Check that all control surface hinges are firmly secured. If required they can be glued in position using a small quantity of the supplied adhesive. 2. Horizontal Tail Plane Fix the elevator control horn in the moulded recess as shown using four M2 x 15mm screws, (image 1).
  • Page 6 3. Vertical Fin & Rudder Fix two plastic control horns either side of the rudder in the moulded recesses. Use two M2 x 30mm screws, used in opposite directions through the rudder, (image 6). Using a light grade abrasive paper, lightly abrade the painted mating surfaces to provide a good key for the adhesive, (image 7).
  • Page 7 5. Wing Assembly Starting with the left hand wing panel, fix the aileron control horn and its backing plate in position using the four M2 x 15mm screws, (image 10). Then securely fix the flap control horn in position using four M2 x 10mm screws that screw directly into the control surface, without the requirement for a backing plate, (image 11).
  • Page 8 For ease of transportation and storage, it is possible to fly your P-51D Mustang without using adhesive to join the wing panels. However, we always recommend that they are glued together as this provides a huge amount of additional strength to the model.
  • Page 9 6. Receiver Installation. Note: We only recommend the use of 2.4GHz radio equipment with this model and make the following recommendations for receiver location and mounting. These must be followed in conjunction with the instructions supplied by your receiver manufacturer. Connect the aileron, retracting gear and flap leads to corresponding outputs on your receiver.
  • Page 10 Carefully apply adhesive to the foam section of the canopy assembly, (image 24). Use the adhesive sparingly and position the clear canopy in place on the moulding, (image 25). Allow to dry thoroughly before attempting to fit the assembly onto the fuselage. The canopy is held in position with a rubber retaining band located in the fuselage and pre- installed magnetic catches, (image 26).
  • Page 11 15mm deflection each way. Flaps: 60 degrees deflection maximum. The centre of gravity of your P-51D Mustang is 110mm back from the furthest forward point of the wing, (image 29). Using the recommended 5550mAh flight battery, this centre of gravity should be easily achieved.
