Before Starting Assembly
Using the Manual
Before beginning the assembly of your P-51, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect the
fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the
place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working
around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks between
each major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next to each step to keep track of each step
completed. Steps with two boxes indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel,
two servos, etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
