If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the

model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove

wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with

low temperature. You can fix the edges by using a hot iron.

Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten

entstehen. Verwenden Sie einen Haartrockener, um die Folie ggf. zu spannen.

Die Kanten können Sie vorsichtig mit einem Bügeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze anwenden !

* WARNING: When removing any covering from the airframe,

please ensure that you secure the cut edge with CA or similar

cement. This will ensure the covering remain tight.

6- Vertical Stabilizer

Pull the rudder out of the vertical fin.

Carefully, push the vertical fin into the

slot on the fuselage as shown .

Trial fit the vertical fin in position. Using

a 90 degree triangle, ensure that the

vertical stabilizer is perpendicular to the

horizontal stabilizer .

Using a pencil, trace around the vertical

stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.

Remove the vertical stabilizer from the

fuselage.

Using s sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away the

covering below the lines which were drawn in the

previous steep. Do not cut into the woods as this

will affect the structural integrity of the stabilizer .

Cut away only

the covering

Insert the vertical fin into the fuselage, precisely align

the vertical stabilizer as described in step 6C.

Apply the thin CA glue on the vertical stabilizer where it

contacts the fuselage.

! Securely glue together. If coming off during fly,

you lose control of your air plane.

7- Tail wheel and Rudder

1.5mm

Without using glue yet, push the rudder and its hinges into the hinge slots

in the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. There should be a minimal

hinge gap and the bottom edge of the rudder should not rub against the

vertical stabilizer.

When satisfied with the alignment, mark the mounting hole position, where

the tail gear torque rod meets the rudder with a pencil.

RUDDER

1.5mm

Remove the rudder and drill 1.5mm hole at the mark marked before.

Marking sure that you drill the hole perpendicular to the leading

edge of the rudder (7C).

Cut away the covering and

balsa for the tail gear torque

rod mounting slot (7D).

CG= 106 - 112mm

Der ideale Schwerpunkt befindet sich 106 - 112mm hinter der Nasenleiste

der oberen Tragfläche

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED 106 - 112mm BACK FROM THE

LEADING EDGE OF THE UPPER WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.

1- Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them

on the top side of the wing (110mm) back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

2- Lift the airplane. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.

Obere TragflächeObere Tragfläche

UPPER WING

3- If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy nose. To correct this, move the battery pack further back in the fuselage.

If the tail of plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery forward or if this is not possible, stick weight onto the

firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers.

LATERAL BALANCE:

After you have balanced a plane on the CG, you should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the airplane track straighter.

1- Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to the tail wheel wire.

With the wing level, carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may require two people to make easier.

2- If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to the bottom side

of the lighter wing half’s wing tip. Follow this procedure until the wing stays level when you lift the airplane.

DO NOT try to fly an out-of-balance model !

IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights.

If,after you have become accustomed to the way the P-51 flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste

that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better”.

IMPORTANT: Please do not clean your model with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the

colour of your model not fade.
