 PRECAUZIONI PER LA COSTRUZIONE

Durante l’assemblaggio noi consigliamo di appoggiare le varie parti su di una superﬁ cie morbida come un asciugamano di spugna per evitare ammaccature al rivestimento.

 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Use the 3-view drawing at the back of this manual to determine the amount of space required to transport and store your model. The model can be disassembled, so the amount of room necessary can vary. We recommend the use of a wing bag to help protect these surfaces during transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can also cause damage to nearby surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always place surfaces so the tops are together to prevent damage from the control horns and linkages.

 PRINTED COVERING NOTES

• The covering used on your model has the coloring and markings printed directly on the covering.

• The covering has a self-adhesive backing, and it is not recommended to use heat as it may damage the covering.

• Use only mild cleaning agents on the printed ﬁ nish. Denatured alcohol is the most aggressive agent we recommend, but test on an inconspicuous area ﬁ rst. Prolonged use will remove the paint.

• Use tape with care. Anything other than low-tack tape can remove the ﬁ nish, particularly on edges.

• Avoid contact with raw fuel, especially alcohol-based fuels containing nitro methane.

• Remove exhaust residue as soon as practical to avoid staining or damaging of the ﬁ nish.

It is possible to remove wrinkles from the covering. Use a covering on low heat, and place a piece of paper between the iron and covering to help disperse the heat from the iron to avoid damaging the covering. Always start with low heat and work toward a hiogher heat to avoid damaging the covering.

A section of covering has been provided if there is a need to make any repairs to the covering.

 TRANSPORT UND LAGERUNG

Mit der Zeichnung aus drei Ansichten am Ende des Handbuchs lässt sich ermitteln, wie viel Platz zum Transport und zur Lagerung des Modells benötigt wird. Das Modell kann demontiert werden, daher ist der erforderliche Platz variabel. Die Empfehlung einer Flügeltasche wird empfohlen, um diese Oberﬂ ächen bei Transport und Lagerung zu schützen. Die Steuerhörner und Gestänge können zudem Schäden an benachbarten Oberﬂ ächen verursachen, auch wenn sie in Taschen gelagert sind. Oberﬂ ächen stets so platzieren, dass die Oberseiten aneinander liegen, um Schäden durch Steuerhörner und Gestänge zu vermeiden.

 HINWEISE ZUR BESPANNUNG

• Bei der bei diesem Modell verwendeten Abdeckung sind Farben und Markierungen direkt auf die Abdeckung gedruckt.

• Die Abdeckung ist selbstklebend, und ein Erwärmen wird nicht empfohlen, da die Wärme die Abdeckung beschädigen könnte.

• Verwenden Sie nur milde Reiniger für die bedruckte Folie. Als aggressiver Reiniger der noch zu empfehlen ist, empfehlen wir denaturierten Alkohol. Prüfen Sie vorher unbedingt an unauffälliger Stelle die Verträglichkeit. Wiederholte / verlängerte Anwendung entfernt die Farbe.

• Verwenden Sie Klebeband nur mit äußerster Vorsicht. Bis auf Kreppband entfernt alle Klebebänder die Farbe. Dieses gilt insbesondere für die Kanten.

• Vermeiden Sie den Kontakt mit Kraftstoff, insbesondere Alkohol-basierte Kraftstoffe mit Nitromethan.

• Entfernen Sie Abgasrückstände schnellstmöglich um ein Verfärben oder Beschädigen der Bespannung zu vermeiden.

Es ist möglich, die Falten von der Abdeckung zu entfernen. Ein Heißsiegelgerät bei schwacher Hitze verwenden und ein Stück Papier zwischen das Gerät und die Abdeckung legen, um die Hitze vom Heißsiegelgerät zu verteilen und so Schäden an der Abdeckung zu vermeiden. Immer bei mit geringer Hitze beginnen und auf eine höhere Hitze gehen, um die Abdeckung nicht zu beschädigen.

Ein Stück Abdeckung wurde bereitgestellt, falls Reparaturen an der Abdeckung erforderlich sind.

 TRANSPORT ET STOCKAGE

Utilisez le schéma à 3 vues à l’arrière de ce manuel pour déterminer l’espace nécessaire pour transporter et stocker votre maquette. La maquette peut être démontée, l’espace nécessaire peut donc varier. Nous vous conseillons d’utiliser un sac à ailes pour protéger ces surfaces lors du transport et du stockage. Les renvois de commande et tringleries peuvent également endommager les surfaces proches même si rangés dans des sacs de rangement. Placez toujours ces surfaces de manière à ce que les sommets soient ensemble pour prévenir tout dommage causé par les renvois de commande et les tringleries.

 REMARQUES RELATIVES À L’ENTOILAGE

IMPRIMÉ

• L’entoilage utilisé sur votre maquette a les couleurs et les marquages imprimés directement sur l’entoilage.

• L’entoilage a un endos autocollant, et il n’est pas recommandé d’utiliser de la chaleur car cela peut endommager l’entoilage.

• Utilisez uniquement des produits de nettoyage doux sur la surface du ﬁ lm. L’alcool dénaturé est le produit le plus agressif que vous pouvez utiliser, mais nous vous conseillons de procéder d’abord à un essai sur une partie de surface non visible. Une utilisation fréquente endommagera la peinture présente sur le ﬁ lm.

• Utilisez du ruban adhésif avec précautions. Tout autre adhésif que de l’adhésif de masquage endommagera la décoration, surtout au niveau des angles.

• Evitez le contact avec du carburant brut, surtout les carburants à base d’alcool contenant du nitrométhane.

• Essuyez les résidus de carburant immédiatement après le vol aﬁ n d’éviter d’endommager la ﬁ nition.

Il est possible de retirer les faux-plis de l’entoilage. Utilisez un entoilage à feu doux et placez un morceau de papier entre le fer à repasser et l’entoilage pour aider à disperser la chaleur du fer à repasser pour éviter d’endommager l’entoilage. Commencez toujours à feu doux et augmentez la chaleur pour éviter d’endommager l’entoilage.

Une partie de l’entoilage a été fournie, au cas où il faudrait effectuer des réparations sur l’entoilage.

 TRASPORTO E DEPOSITO

Fare riferimento al trittico riportato sul retro di questo manuale per determinare lo spazio necessario al trasporto e all’immagazzinaggio del modello. Il modello può essere smontato e, di conseguenza, lo spazio necessario può variare. È consigliabile usare delle borse alari per proteggere queste superﬁ ci durante il trasporto e l’immagazzinaggio. Squadrette e rinvii possono danneggiare le superﬁ ci circostanti anche all’interno delle borse. Per prevenire questo problema, sistemare sempre le superﬁ ci facendo combaciare le superﬁ ci superiori.

 NOTE SUL RIVESTIMENTO STAMPATO

• Colori e marcature di questo modello sono stampati direttamente sul rivestimento.

• Il retro del rivestimento è autoadesivo e non è quindi consigliabile avvicinarvi fonti di calore che potrebbero danneggiarlo.

• Usare solo detergenti delicati sulla ﬁ nitura stampata. L’alcol denaturato è il detergente più aggressivo che noi consigliamo, però conviene sempre provarlo prima su di un’area del rivestimento che è poco visibile. Un uso prolungato potrebbe rimuovere la vernice.

• Usare il nastro adesivo con attenzione. Qualsiasi cosa che sia di più di un nastro a bassa adesività, potrebbe staccare la ﬁ nitura specialmente sui bordi.

• Evitare il contatto con del combustibile, specialmente se a base di alcol e contenente nitrometano.

• Togliere i residui dello scarico appena possibile per evitare la formazione di macchie o il danneggiamento della ﬁ nitura.

È possibile rimuovere le increspature dal rivestimento. Utilizzare un ferro da stiro a bassa temperatura e posizionare un pezzo di carta tra il ferro e il rivestimento per migliorare la dispersione di calore dal ferro ed evitare di danneggiare il rivestimento. Iniziare sempre con una temperatura bassa e aumentare gradualmente la temperatura per evitare di danneggiare il rivestimento.

È stata fornita una sezione di rivestimento nel caso sia necessario effettuare eventuali riparazioni al rivestimento.

 FLAP INSTALLATION

1. Remove the ﬂ aps and aileron from the wing panel.

2. Locate the two ﬂ ap control horns. When installed, the concave

portion of the horn (as indicated in the drawing) will face toward the top of the ﬂ aps.

3. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to remove any

paint from the hole in the ﬂ ap control horn for the clevis. Prepare all the control horns at this time.

4. Use medium-grit sandpaper to remove any paint from the

ﬂ ap control horn where it ﬁ ts into the ﬂ ap. Clean the sanded area using a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris or oils. Removing the paint provides the surface texture necessary for the epoxy to bond to.

5. Remove the ﬂ ap from the wing. Run your ﬁ nger down

the leading edge of the ﬂ ap to locate the area for the ﬂ ap control horn. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering, exposing the slot for the control horn. Use 15-minute epoxy to glue the ﬂ ap control horn in position. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol.

6. Run your ﬁ nger down the lower surface leading edge of the

ﬂ ap to locate the areas for the ﬂ ap hinges. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering, exposing the holes for the ﬂ ap hinges. Test ﬁ t the hinges to the ﬂ ap. Do not use any adhesives now. Slide the hinge into position. Position as shown, checking to make sure it can move freely.

7. Run your ﬁ nger down the lower surface trailing edge of the

wing to locate the areas for the ﬂ ap hinges. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering, exposing the holes for the ﬂ ap hinges. Check the ﬁ t of the ﬂ ap to the wing. The top of the ﬂ ap will align to the top of the wing. It will also line up with the aileron. The ﬂ ex point of the hinges will align with the hinge line of the ﬂ aps when installed properly. Test the operation of the ﬂ ap to make sure the hinges are properly aligned and the ﬂ ap movies freely.

8. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the ﬂ ex point of

the hinge to prevent epoxy from entering the hinge.

 Use care to only apply the petroleum jelly to the flex

point. If applied to the hinge portion, it could cause the epoxy

not to adhere to the hinge, resulting in a poor glue joint.

 The flaps must be positioned to the wing before the

epoxy begins to cure. Make sure to read through all the steps

before mixing any epoxy. Glue only one flap at a time to

allow enough working time to properly install the hinges.

 Use 15-minute or 30-minute epoxy to allow

enough working time during the hinge installation.

9. Remove the ﬂ ap from the wing and remove the hinges. Apply

epoxy into each of the holes in the ﬂ ap.

 Do not use an excessive amount of epoxy when gluing the

hinges so that it expels from the hinge. Also make sure to use

enough epoxy so it securely adheres the hinge to the surfaces.

12EN

10. Apply epoxy to each hinge where it will be inserted into the

ﬂ ap. Insert the hinges as shown in Step 6.

 AILERON INSTALLATION

15. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a hole

in the center of each hinge slot. Drill the hole 1/4-inch (6mm) deep into the wood.

11. Apply epoxy to each hinge where it will be inserted into the

wing.

16. Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three hinges.

12. Apply epoxy into each of the holes in the wing. 17. Slide the hinges into position in the aileron with the T-pin

resting against the edge of the control surface. The slot in the hinge must align with the hole drilled in the aileron.

13. Fit the ﬂ ap to the wing as shown in Step 7. Check that the

ﬂ ap can move freely and the hinges are all aligned properly. Use low-tack tape to hold the ﬂ ap in position until the epoxy fully cures.

18. Hold the aileron to the wing. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the

center of the hinges on the wing. Use a pin vise and 1/16inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes in the wing.

14. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any

excess epoxy before it can fully cure. Use care not to get epoxy in the moving part of the hinge or between the ﬂ ap and wing. Continue once the epoxy has fully cured for both sets of ﬂ ap hinges.

 Repeat this section for the remaining flap installation.

19. Check the gap between the wing tip and aileron.

13 EN

P-51D Mustang 20cc

15/16 inch

(24mm)

20. Check the gap between the ﬂ ap and aileron. The gaps in

Steps 19 and 20 must be equal before applying CA to the hinges.

 When the flap is lowered and the aileron is in the

full down position, there may be some interference

between the flap and aileron. In flight, the aileron will

not deflect far enough to interfere with the flap.

25. Run your ﬁ nger along the bottom of the aileron to locate the

area for the ﬂ ap control horn. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering, exposing the slot for the control horn.

22. Allow the CA to cure for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently pull on the

ﬁ xed surface and control surface to make sure the hinges are glued securely. If not, apply additional CA to secure each of the hinges.

27. Test ﬁ t the aileron control horn to the aileron. Place tape

around the slot in the aileron for the aileron control horn.

21. Apply thin CA to the top of each of the hinges. Make sure to

fully soak the hinges so the CA can wick into the hinge and bond to the surrounding wood.

 Use thin CA so it wicks into the hinge. A thicker CA

will not wick into the hinge properly. Do not to allow the

CA to run over the covering on the wing and aileron.

26. Locate the two silver aileron control horns. Use medium-grit

sandpaper to remove any paint from the bottom of the control horn where it ﬁ ts into the aileron.

23. Move the aileron through its range of travel to break in the

hinges.

24. Check both the up and down movement of the hinges before

proceeding.

28. Check that the horn is 90-degrees to the surface of the

aileron. If not, lightly trim the hole in the aileron to reposition the control horn.

29. Remove the aileron control horn from the aileron. Apply epoxy

to the area of the control horns that ﬁ ts into the slots. Use enough epoxy so the control horns will be fully bonded to the ﬁ xed surfaces.

14EN

30. Remove the control horns from the control surfaces. Apply

epoxy to the slot in the aileron and ﬂ ap. Make sure the epoxy gets into the slot for a good bond between the surfaces and control horn.

31. Before the epoxy fully cures, remove the tape from around

the control horn. This will allow the epoxy to ﬂ ow around the control horn, creating a small ﬁ llet between the control horn and surface for a ﬁ nished look and secure bond.

 Repeat this section for the remaining aileron installation.

 AILERON SERVO INSTALLATION

32. Use a hobby knife or other sharp tool to puncture the covering

at the screw holes that will secure the cover to the wing. Also remove the covering for the aileron servo arm in the cover.

33. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering

for the aileron servo arm in the cover.

34. Place the cover back into position. Use a pin vise and 1/16-

inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the mounts for the servo covers. Use care not to drill through the covering on the top of the wing.

35. Thread an M2 x 10 sheet metal screw into each hole

using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Remove the screws before proceeding.

36. Apply a small amount of thin CA to harden the threads

made in the previous step. Allow the CA to fully cure before installing the aileron servo cover.

 Prepare the flap servo covers at this time as well.

37. Use a pin vise and 5/32-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill the

holes for the servo mounting screws. Make sure to harden the holes using the technique outlined in Steps 30 and 31. Use the screws provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips screwdriver when installing the screws.

38. Secure the servo to the cover using a #1 Phillips screwdriver

and the screws provided with the servo.

39. Secure a 12-inch (300mm) servo extension to the servo using

a commercially available fastener (SPMA3054).

40. Center the servos, then secure the servo arm so it is

perpendicular to the servo centerline. Use side cutters to remove any arms that do not protrude to the outside of the cover.

41. When attaching the linkage to the aileron servo arm, use the

hole in the arm that is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the center of the arm.

 The suggested measurements will result in a scale roll

rate. A longer servo arm can be used for a faster roll rate.

42. Tie or tape the string located inside the wing to the end of the

servo lead.

43. Use the string to pull the servo lead through the wing and out

at the root.

44. Secure the servo to the wing using four M2 x 10 sheet metal

screws. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

45. Slide a silicone tube on the clevis. Thread the clevis on the

/16 inch (100mm) pushrod. Allow 1/16 inch (1.5mm) of the threads on the pushrod protrude between the forks of the clevis.

46. Attach the clevis to the inside hole on the aileron control horn.

47. Center the aileron servo using the radio system. With the

aileron centered, use a felt-tipped pen to mark the pushrod where it crosses the outer hole of the servo arm.

48. Remove the clevis from the control horn. Use pliers to bend

the pushrod at the mark made in the previous step. Use side cutters to cut the end of the pushrod so the inside dimension measures 1/4 inch (6mm).

49. Insert the pushrod into the outer hole on the servo arm.

16EN

5/8 inch (16mm)

50. Slide the pushrod keeper on the pushrod wire.

51. Slide the keeper tightly against the servo arm. Use pliers to

Remove any arms that may interfere with the operation of the servo.

55. When attaching the linkage to the aileron servo arm, use the

hole in the arm that is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the center of the arm.

56. Check the ﬁ t of the M3 x 10 pan head screws through the ﬂ ap

mount. Measure the length protruding from the mount. If this measures more than 5/32 inch (4mm), use washers under the head of the screw to prevent the screw from penetrating through the wing sheeting.

57. Mount the ﬂ ap servo in the wing using the M3 x 14 pan head

sheet metal screws and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

 We recommend installing and removing the flap servo, then

hardening the screw holes in the wing with thin CA. This will help

reduce the change of puncturing the wing using only the screws.

58. Slide a silicone tube on the clevis. Thread the clevis on the

/16 inch (100mm) pushrod. Allow 1/16 inch (1.5mm) of the threads on the pushrod protrude between the forks of the clevis.
