1 - Wing Servos WING - BOTTOM VIEW Adhesive tape 1-Cut away the covering on the bottom of one wing where the aileron and flap servos go. 2-Connect the servo leads to the aileron and flap extension leads. -Switch on the radio (trims centered) then mount the servo horns in the tneutral position as shown. -The servo horn should be perpendicular to the servo. 3-Install the servos to the servo mounts. NO YES Do the same with the other wing.
5- JOINING THE WING Nylon wing bolt A B Rubber band (both top and bottom) Bulldog clip A B Center line TOP VIEW 1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the wing joining brace. 2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above. 3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panels meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace. 4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
13- AIR SCOOP BOTTOM VIEW 6x40mm nylon bolt 15/32” 12mm Plastic air scoop .........2 CA Wing fairing CA Cut away the covering inside the line before installing the air scoop and wing cover 1- Using the ABS air scoop as a template, draw around the outside edge with a pencil and then remove it. 2- Using a sharp hobby knife cut away the covering just inside the line, please do not cut into the wood. 3- Glue the ABS air scoop into position using CA adhesive.

B’ B Cut away the covering on both the top and bottom of the stabilizer A = A’ B = B’ Apply epoxy glue to both sides A B A 1-Trial fit the horizontal stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage.
22- ELEVATOR Please ensure the hinges are securely glued into place, any failure will cause a crash. 3/8 in. (9.5mm) Apply a thin layer of machine oil or petroleum jelly to only the pivot point of the hinges on one elevator. Then push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Ensure you leave just a minimal gap to avoid binding of the hinge. When satisfied with the gap and alignment remove and apply 5 minute epoxy the elevator hinges.

Safety Precautions: 1. If you have the simulator, we suggest that you can practice your skill using the simulator before you fly this model, this will help when you come to fly the P51 for the first time. 2. Climb the plane out straight from the take-off area without turning to about 50 meters in height then throttle back to about 50-60% power whilst you get used to the flying characteristics. 3. Initial turns should be gentle and be careful not to stall the plane with too much elevator. 4.
