6. Move the stick full forward. When this is done,

the elevator control surface should move down.

7. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect

the flight battery first, and then turn off the

transmitter. This should be done each time you

turn off the airplane.

Note: It is very important to make sure that the

control surfaces are at 0 degrees when the

transmitter’s control stick and trim levers are
centered. (See Steps 5 and 8 for making needed
adjustments to control surfaces.)

If your airplane is not responding correctly to the
transmitter input, do not fly! Some correction is needed.

Making Adjustments to the Ailerons

Control Throws and Center of Gravity

Choosing a Flying Field

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller

before adjusting the ailerons in the event that you

accidentally turn on the motor.

You may find some adjustment is needed to properly
trim the ailerons. The ailerons are properly trimmed when
each aileron is level with the stationary wing surface. To
do this, follow these simple instructions:

1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the “off” position

and then turn on the transmitter.

2. Install the flight battery and plug it into the lead

from the fuselage.

3. Most trim adjustments to the ailerons can be made

with the aileron trim levers on the transmitter. Make

sure the gimbal (stick) is at neutral prior to making

any trim changes.

4. If trimming the ailerons with the trim levers is not

sufficient, and the ailerons need to be trimmed

mechanically, you’ll need to do the following:

a. With the radio system on, return the trim levers and

gimbal to their neutral positions.

b. Slide the silicone keeper back and open the clevis

and remove the clevis from the aileron control

horn.

c. Thread the clevis in or out to move the aileron to

the neutral position.

d. Reattach the clevis to the aileron control horn and

slide the silicone keeper back over the clevis to

prevent the clevis from opening in flight.

Center of Gravity:

the fuselage.

Note: The small oval panel line on the top of the wing

marks the correct CG location.

• A large, open grassy field is required to fly your

P-51D Mustang. Your P-51 can cover ground fast.

The choice of a large field will ensure greater

success for your flight.

• It is essential to have a minimum of 300 feet of clear

space in all directions from the pilot.

• Make certain that you do not fly near trees,

buildings, or other areas that can restrict your view

or interfere with your flying. NEVER fly near streets,

parking lots, or people.

Fly in this area

(upwind of pilot).
