Low Rate = A
High Rate = B
Range Test
You will need two people to perform the range test:
one to hold the plane and the other to give the
transmitter input.
Warning : The person holding the plane should hold
it in such a way that the propeller does not come into
contact with any part of their clothing or body.
1. One person holds the transmitter, while the other
person walks 100 paces away with the airplane.
2. Be sure the throttle slider is in the “Off” position.
3. Extend the transmitter antenna completely and turn
the transmitter on.
Mode Change Flight Control System
Your P-51D Mustang comes with the ability to
change flight modes as you gain more experience and
become more familiar with it. There are two modes
that are selectable from the transmitter that you can
choose from:
Mode A (Low Rate) : Mode A is recommended for all
first flights. The travel of both ailerons as well as the
elevator will be limited in this mode, allowing you to
become more familiar with your plane. The switch on
the back of the transmitter will be back when you are
in this mode.
Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio
Control Pilot
VERY IMPORTANT
The 3-channel control system is designed for the
experienced radio control pilot and is not intended
for the first-time flyer. If you have successfully flown
the Zone 2 or Zone 3 HobbyZone airplanes, then you
should be ready for the ParkZone™ P-51D Mustang.
However, first-time pilots of the ParkZone™ P-51D
Mustang should seek the assistance of an experienced
RC flyer until the additional third channel, pitch control,
has been competently mastered. Crash damage is not
covered under the warranty.
Important : Initial flights should always be done
with the airplane in Low Rate (Mode A). In this mode,
there is some limitation to the travel allowed, helping
to prevent you from over-control. After you have had
several safe flights in Mode A, you can move on to
Mode B, which will no longer limit the travel of the
control surfaces.
Note : It is possible to change flight modes in
flight. However, it is important that you have enough
altitude prior to attempting to change the flight mode
while in flight.
Mode B (High Rate) : Mode B no longer limits your
control surface travel, allowing more aggressive flying
and aerobatics. However, your P-51D Mustang will also
be more prone to crashes due to over-control if you are
not careful. The switch on the transmitter will be toward
the pilot when in this mode.
4. Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.
5. As soon as the throttle slider is advanced, the
propeller should spin quickly.
6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls,
the other person watches to be sure the airplane’s
motor and tail controls operate smoothly.
