Receiver/ESC
Your ParkZone P-51D Mustang comes with a specially
designed receiver/ESC unit that allows you great
flexibility. There are three jumpers that are located
in the receiver that can be changed (added/removed)
that allow you make changes (if you so choose) from
the stock configuration that your P-51D Mustang
comes in. You can also reuse the included radio
system in another ParkZone or other similar electric
aircraft if you so choose due to the adaptability of the
receiver/ESC included.
Jumper 1- Mix of Elevator and Aileron:
You can add the jumper to utilize software that will
allow a slight mix of elevator and ailerons. In this
mode, when aileron input is given, a slight amount of
up elevator is added. By doing this, the nose of the
airplane will be more likely to “stay up” when aileron
input is given. This can be of great help to pilots that
are transitioning from 2 to 3 channel aircraft and are
not used to pitch control.
Jumper 2- V-Tail/Standard Tail:
Your P-51D Mustang comes with the plane set for
conventional aileron control. If you remove the included
jumper, you can change the radio system to function
as “V” tail (elevon) control in the event that you want
to transfer the equipment to such airplanes as the
ParkZone F-27 Stryker or Slo-V.
Jumper 3- Auto Cut-off:
Auto Cut-off: Your P-51D Mustang comes with the ability
to change the cut-off voltage of the radio system.
When the jumper is present the auto-cut is set at about
5.7 volts, which works with 6-9 Ni-MH cells. When the
jumper is absent, the autocut is set at about 8.8 volts,
which will function correctly with a 3s Li-Po Battery.
Note
: Your ParkZone P-51D Mustang is designed
to support a 3s Li-Po battery. We recommend the
ThunderPower 2100 mAh pack. (THP21003S) You will
need to supply your own connectors.
The battery should be able to safely deliver 13 amps of
current.

* Flight-Trak gives some up elevator when directional input is given. this helps hold the nose up during turns for
pilots that are transitioning to using a 3-channel radio system.
