Choose a Large, Open Grassy Field
• A large, open grassy field is required to fly your
P-51D Mustang. Your P-51D Mustang can achieve
speeds greater than 40 mph, so it covers ground
fast. The larger the field, the better.
• It is essential to have a minimum of 300 feet of
clear space in all directions from the pilot. If you
ignore this direction, you will regret it.
• Make certain that you do not fly near trees,
buildings, or other areas that can restrict your view
or interfere with your flying.
• Always keep the P-51D Mustang upwind from you
to avoid fly-aways.
Making Adjustments to the Ailerons
You may find some adjustment is needed to properly
trim the ailerons. The ailerons are properly trimmed
when each aileron is level with the wing. To do this,
follow these simple instructions:
1. Make sure transmitter is on.
2. Plug in flight battery.
3. Most trim adjustments needed to the ailerons
can be made by using the aileron trim levers on
the transmitter. Make sure the gimble (stick) is at
neutral prior to making any trim changes.
4. If this is not sufficient and the ailerons need to be
trimmed mechanically:
a. With radio system on, return trim levers and
gimble to neutral.
b. Locate the small “spool” on each aileron (bottom
of control surface). Turn the spool the appropriate
direction to return the aileron to neutral (control
surface of aileron is level with rest of wing).

Choose a Calm Day
You want to fly! However, you need to make sure that
you fly in the conditions that will allow you to have the
best success. This is when there is little to no wind
(less than 7 mph).
To check wind conditions:
1. Tie the included red ribbon to the transmitter
antenna.
2. Hold the transmitter antenna so that it is parallel to
the ground and note how much the ribbon moves
in the wind. If the ribbon hangs down, conditions
are right to fly. However, if the angle between the
antenna and the ribbon is less than 20 degrees, it
is too windy to fly.
