Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone ®
P-51D Mustang. The North American P-51D Mustang
is arguably the most famous military aircraft of all time.
Many will credit the fall of the Nazi regime in Europe to
the development and production of this great fighter. This
was not only because it was able to protect long-range
bombers such as the B-17, but because of outstanding
offensive capabilities.
Your ParkZone P-51D Mustang BNF purchase includes
everything needed to get you in the air—all in one box.
You will only need to attach the wing, horizontal tail,
charge the battery pack, and bind to your favorite
Spektrum
™ DSM2 ™ transmitter prior to taking to the air.
Everyone at ParkZone is committed to giving you the
most enjoyable flight experience possible. In order for
your first flight to be safe and successful, we ask
that you do not fly until you have read these instructions
thoroughly.
Introduction

Product Support
The charger included with your P-51D Mustang uses
unique circuitry that ensures an accurate charge every
time and protects your Lithium Polymer battery from the
dangers of overcharging. This charger continually
monitors the battery and automatically stops charging
when the battery is fully charged.
DC Li-Po Balancing Charger Features
• Charges 3-cell lithium polymer battery packs at
1-amp
• LED charge status indicator
• 12V accessory outlet input cord —you must charge
the included Li-Po battery pack with a Li-Po
specific charger only (such as the included
charger). Never leave the battery and charger
unattended during the charge process. Failure
to follow the instructions properly could result in
a fire. When charging, make certain the battery
is on a heat-resistant surface.
1. The 12V DC 3S Li-Po balancing charger provides
a charge current of 1 amp. The typical charge time
for the included 11.1V 1300mAh Li-Po is
approximately 1 hour.
2. Locate the safety charge lead on the battery pack.
Connect the battery pack to the charger. Charge
through the balance lead on the battery pack. The
blue EC3 connector will remain disconnected when
using the included charger.
3. Connect the charger to a 12V power outlet in a
vehicle or purchase the AC adapter (HBZ1004) to
allow charging from a wall outlet. Please note that
some 12V outlets require your vehicle to be
running for the outlet to be operational. It is
recommended to consult your vehicle owner’s
manual if you are unsure. The LED will continually
blink while the battery charges. It is not
recommended to charge batteries while the vehicle
is in motion.
4. Charging is finished when the LED indicator glows
steadily.
