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.
Control Throws:
Low Rate High Rate
Aileron: 1/4 inch (6.4mm) 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
Elevator: 1/4 inch (6.4mm) 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
Center of Gravity:
2 3/4 inches (70.0mm) From leading edge of the wing at
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).
