Note: The P-51D retract system is designed
to use low profile hi-torque retract servos,
such as the JRPS791. All adjustments to the
retracts are made before the final installation.
Step 1
Position the retract mechanism over the wing to determine
on which side to mount the retract servo. Use a 4-40 tap
to make the appropriate holes in the mounting plate if
necessary.
Step 2
Attach a 6" servo extension to the retract servo and
secure the extansion to the servo lead so it won’t unplug
accidentally.
Step 3
Mount the retract servo to the mounting plate using
four 4-40 socket head screws. It may be necessary to
install the spacer plates depending on the servo
selected. Use threadlock on the screws to prevent them
from vibrating loose.
Step 4
Attach the servo horn to the retract servo. It is
positioned so the arm moves from one end of the
mechanism to the other.
