Note: The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine thrust angles have been factory-built into the giant Mustang. However, some technically-minded modelers may wish to check these measurements anyway.To view this information, visit the web site at and click on “Technical Data.” Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no effect on the way the model will fly, there may be slight deviations between your model and the published values.
ASSEMBLE THE WINGS
Hinge the ailerons and flaps Start with the left wing so yours matches the
photos the first time through.
❏❏1. Lay a few paper towels on top of each other
and cut them into small squares. These paper towel squares will come in handy for wiping away excess epoxy throughout the assembly process (and will save you from wasting whole paper towels!).
❏❏2. Separate the aileron and flap from the wing
by peeling off the masking tape holding them together. Use a paper towel square dampened with naphtha lighter fluid or similar solvent to remove any glue left from the tape.
❏❏3. If necessary, use a covering iron with a covering
sock to go over the wing, flap and aileron to remove
