Warning
An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas,
preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with your
radio and engine.
Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of your P-51 Mustang ARF, 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.
Using the Manual
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 a single box () are performed once, while 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.

Required Items:
• Wing (right and left) • Aileron (right and left)
• Flap (right and left
• CA hinge (12)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• T-pins • Drill
• Drill bit: 1/16" (1.5mm) • Thin CA
• 6-minute epoxy • Sandpaper
• Paper towel • Rubbing alcohol
• Mixing stick • Toothpick
Step 1
Remove the tape holding the flap and aileron on the
wing. Locate three hinges and place a T-pin in the center
of each hinge. This will help center the hinge when slid
into the wing.
Step 2
Drill a 1/16" (1.5mm) hole into the center of the three
aileron hinge slots. This creates a tunnel so the thin CA
used to glue the hinges can fully penetrate the hinge.
Repeat the process for the hinge slots in the wing as well.
Step 3
Slide the three hinges into the slots in the aileron.
Align the slot in the hinge with the hole drilled in the
previous step.
Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons and Flaps

9
Step 4
Slide the aileron into position on the wing by guiding the
hinges into the hinge slots in the wing. Push the aileron
so there is little to no gap between the aileron hinge line.
Step 5
Check the position of the aileron in relationship to the
wing tip. It must be as close as possible and still be
able to move without rubbing against the wing tip. If
it is not close enough to the wing tip it may interfere
with the flap operation.
Step 6
Remove the T-pins from the hinges. Deflect the aileron
slightly without changing the hinge gap between the
aileron and wing. Apply thin CA to each of the hinges
and allow it to soak into the hinge. Do not use accelerator
as it will not allow the CA to soak into the hinge. Make
sure to apply enough CA to fully soak the hinge,
both top and bottom.
Step 7
Once the CA has fully cured, gently pull on the aileron to
make sure the hinges are glued securely to both the wing
and aileron. Use care not to crush the wing or aileron.
Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons and Flaps

10
Step 8
Flex the aileron up and down a number of times to break
in the hinges.
Step 9
Use a piece of sandpaper to roughen the flap linkage
where it will extend into the flap. Use rubbing alcohol and
a paper towel to clean any residual dirt from the linkage.
This is done to give the epoxy a surface to hold onto when
the flap linkage is epoxied into the flap.
Step 10
Prepare three more hinges using the technique in Step 1.
Drill 1/16" (1.5mm) holes in the center of each hinge slot,
both the wing and flap using the same technique as Step
2. Slide the hinges into the flap, centering the slot in the
hinge with the hole drilled in the center of the slot.
Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons and Flaps

11
Step 11
Cut a piece of plastic from one of the bags the wing was
packaged in. Tape the plastic so it is between the wing and
flap linkage, but does not cover the hinge slot. This will
keep you from gluing the flap linkage to the wing in the
following steps.
Step 12
Slide the flap in position. Check that it can move freely
without rubbing against the aileron or wing. The flap
linkage will go into the pre-drilled hole in the flap, and the
hinges into the slots in the wing.
Note: You will need to work quickly for the
following step. Be prepared to position the
flap as soon as the epoxy has been applied as
described.
Step 13
Once the fit has been checked, remove the flap from the
wing. Mix about a tablespoon of 6-minute epoxy and
apply it to the flap linkage. Use a toothpick to apply the
epoxy into the hole and slot in the flap. Slide the flap in
position and check the movement as described in Step 12.
Step 14
Once the epoxy has cured, apply CA to the flap hinges as
described back in Step 6 for the aileron hinges. The flap
may not deflect very far upwards so do not force it to do
so. Remember to apply CA to both the top and bottom.
Step 15
Remove the plastic taped onto the wing back in Step 11.
Move the flap down, and up if possible, to break in the
flap hinges.
Step 16
Repeat Steps 1 through 15 to install the remaining aileron
and flap to the remaining wing panel.
Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons and Flaps

Required Items:
• Wing (right and left)
• Aileron servo cover (right and left)
• 3/4" x 5/16" x 9/16" (19mm x 8mm x 14mm)
servo mounting block (4)
• 2mm x 8mm sheet metal screw
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Phillips screwdriver • Clamp
• Drill • 6-minute epoxy
• Drill bit: 1/16" (1.5mm) • Felt-tipped pen
• String or unwaxed dental floss
• 12" (305mm) servo extension (2)
Step 1
Determine which servo cover belongs to which wing
panel. The opening for the servo arm is offset to match the
opening in the wing.
Step 2
Prepare the aileron servo by installing the hardware
supplied with the servo.
Step 3
Attach a 12" (305mm) servo extension to the aileron
servo. Use thread or unwaxed dental floss to secure
the extension to the servo lead so it will not become
disconnected inside the wing.
Step 4
Position the servo on the servo cover so the it is centered
on the cover. Also check that the servo arm is close to
centered in the arm opening and the arm will not interfere
with the cover when the servo is operating. Mark the
location of the servo using a felt-tipped pen.
Section 2: Aileron Servo Installation
Step 2 Photo

13
Step 5
Mix up about a tablespoon of 6-minute epoxy to glue
the two 3/4" x 5/16" x 9/16" (19mm x 8mm x 14mm)
servo mounting blocks to the servo cover. Align the
blocks on the marks made in the previous step. A
clamp can be used to hold the blocks in position until
the epoxy fully cures.
Step 6
Position the servo back onto the servo cover between
the blocks. With the servo slightly off the cover, mark the
location for the servo mounting screws using a felt-tipped
pen.
Note: The servo is placed slightly off the servo
cover to help isolate it from vibration and to
let the servo grommets do the job they were
designed for.
Step 7
Remove the servo and drill the locations marked in the
previous step using a 1/16" (1.5mm) drill bit.
Step 8
Plug the aileron servo into the receiver. Use the transmitter
to check the operation of the aileron servo. Center the
aileron trim and attach a servo horn to the servo. The
servo arm that extends out beyond the servo cover should
measure 1/2" (13mm) from the center of the arm to the
outer hole. Trim the remaining arms from the servo arm so
they won't interfere with the operation of the servo.
Step 9
Attach the servo to the blocks using the hardware provided
with the servo.
Section 2: Aileron Servo Installation

14
Step 10
Tie a wheel collar onto a piece of string. Lower the string
into the opening for the aileron servo. Tip the wing so the
tip is facing up and lower the string through the wing.
Guide the string to exit the hole in the top of the wing near
the root.
Step 11
Tie the string to the aileron servo extension. Use the string
to pull the extension through the wing and out of the hole
at the wing root. Use tape to keep the extension from
falling back into the wing.
Step 12
Place the aileron servo into position on the wing. Use
four 2mm x 8mm sheet metal screws to attach the aileron
servo cover to the wing.
Step 13
Repeat Steps 2 through 12 for the remaining aileron servo.
Section 2: Aileron Servo Installation
Step 11 Photo

Required Items:
• Wing (right and left)
• Aileron linkage wire (right and left)
• Clevis w/retainer (2)
• Control horn w/backplate (2)
• 2mm x 11mm screw (2) • 2mm x 16mm screw (4)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Phillips screwdriver • Drill
• Drill bit: 5/64" (2mm) • Felt-tipped pen
• T-pin
Step 1
Locate the aileron linkages. There is a right and left
linkage as show below. (Right and left are as viewed when
sitting in the pilot's seat of the aircraft.)
Step 2
Enlarge the outer hole of the servo arm using a 5/64"
(2mm) drill bit. Connect the appropriate aileron linkage
as shown.
Note: You may want to use painter's tape at
the wing tip to tape the aileron to the wing
tip so it will remain centered. This will make
installing the control horn much easier.
Step 3
With the aileron servo plugged in and the radio system
on, make sure the aileron servo is centered and the trim
on the radio is centered. Slide a clevis retainer onto a
clevis. Thread the clevis onto the aileron linkage until
the pin in the clevis is 1/16" (1.5mm) behind the aileron
hinge line.
Step 4
Use a hobby knife to trim the control horn backplate from
the control horn.
Section 3: Installing the Aileron Linkage

16
Step 5
Attach the clevis to the outer hole on the control horn.
Place the horn flat on the aileron, aligning the linkage
parallel to the edge of the servo cover. Use a felt-tipped
pen to mark the location for the three control horn
mounting screws.
Step 6
Use a 5/64" (2mm) drill bit to drill the locations for the
three screws. Use care to drill all three holes parallel to
each other.
Step 7
Use a T-pin to poke holes through the covering in the area
inside the triangle made by the three holes. Poke holes in
the covering on both the top and bottom of the aileron.
Step 8
Apply a small amount of thin CA in the area made by the
holes in the following step. A few drops of thin CA into
each hole is also required. This hardens the balsa, giving
the control horn a much more solid surface to mount to.
Do not use accelerator to allow the CA to penetrate into
the wood.
Section 3: Installing the Aileron Linkage

17
Step 9
Attach the control horn to the wing using two 2mm x
16mm screws near the hinge line of the control horn and
one 2mm x 11mm screw at the trailing edge of the aileron
wing. The screws go into the control horn backplate which
is located on the top of the aileron.
Note: If you have difficulty getting the screws
to line up with the backplate, just use your
drill bit to oval out the holes slightly. Just
remember to apply some thin CA to harden the
holes again.
Step 10
Locate the flap control horn. Thread the horn onto the flap
linkage so the top of the horn is 7/8" (22mm) from the top
surface of the wing.
Step 11
Repeat Steps 2 through 10 for the remaining
aileron linkage.
Section 3: Installing the Aileron Linkage

18
Required Items:
• Left wing panel • Right wing panel
• Aluminum wing tube • Nylon strap
• #2 x 5/16" wood screw (2)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Phillips screwdriver • Sealing iron
Step 1
Locate the aluminum wing tube. Slide the tube into one
of the wing panels. Do not force the tube, as it will slide
easily to its correct depth.
Step 2
Slide the remaining wing panel onto the aluminum
wing joiner tube. As the panels get close, make sure the
alignment pin goes into the hole.
Step 3
Slide the panels tightly together, guiding the servo wires
out of the way. Use a nylon strap and two #2 x 5/16" sheet
metal screws to secure the two wing panels together.
Step 4
If you are not planning on taking your wing apart, a piece
of covering has been supplied to cover the center joint.
You will need to use a sealing iron to apply the covering
to the center joint.
Hint: You can use 30-minute epoxy to glue
the two wing halves together. Before sliding
the wing together, apply a thin coat of epoxy
to the exposed wood of both wing panels at
the center of the wing. Slide the wing together,
then use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to
remove the excess epoxy from the wing.
Section 4: Assembling the Wing

19
Required Items:
• Assembled wing • Landing gear strap (4)
• 3 1/2" (76mm) wheel (2)
• Landing gear (left and right)
• #4 x 1/2" sheet metal screw (8)
• 3/16" wheel collar w/setscrew (4)
• Landing gear strap (4)
Required Tools and Adhesives:
• Phillips screwdriver • Ruler
• Drill bit: 3/32" (2.5mm) • Drill
• Felt-tipped pen
Step 1
Locate a landing gear wire. Slide a 3/16" wheel collar
onto the landing gear wire, then slide the wheel with
the recessed side towards the outside onto the landing
gear wire.
Step 2
Slide a second wheel collar onto the landing gear
wire. Align the collar with the end of the landing gear
wire. Tighten the setscrew. Slide the wheel collar
installed in Step 1 against the wheel and tighten the
setscrew. Don't get the collar too tight which may
prevent the wheel from rolling.
Note: Use threadlock on the setscrews to
prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Step 3
Snap the wheel cover onto the wheel.
Section 5: Installing the Landing Gear

20
Step 4
Measure in 3/4" (19mm) from each end of the landing
gear slot. Position the landing gear strap so it straddles
the slot evenly. Mark the locations for the screw holes
using a felt-tipped pen.
Step 5
Drill the four locations marked in the previous step using
a 3/32" (2.5mm) drill bit. Be careful not to accidentally run
the drill through the covering on top of the wing.
Step 6
Locate the left landing gear strut. Slide the strut into
position on the bottom of the wing. The wheel will be
towards the leading edge (front) of the wing when installed
correctly. Press the landing gear into the groove of the
landing gear mount.
Step 7
Locate two landing gear straps and four #4 x 1/2" sheet
metal screws. Use a medium Phillips screwdriver to attach
the landing gear straps using the screws. Tighten the
landing gear straps until they pull the landing gear into
the groove, flush with the bottom of the wing.
Note: Use care not to over-tighten the screws
and damage the landing gear mount.
Step 8
Repeat Steps 1 through 7 to install the remaining landing
gear strut.
