your workbench with an old towel or brown paper,
both to protect the aircraft and to protect the table.
Keep a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the
small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE:
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly
before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. The
MUSTANG P51 is hand made from natural materials,
every plane is unique and minor adjustments may
have to be made. However, you should find the fit
superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do
not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the propeller
only. Do not reach around the spinning propeller.
PREPARATIONS

2. Remove the covering from the stabilizer.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.
26
3. Test the position of the elevator and adjust it as
shown.
4. When you are sure that everything is aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the bottom
and to the top of the stabilizer mounting area
and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides in
the fuselage. Insert the stabilizer in place and
re-align. Double check all of your
measurements one more time before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

FUEL TANK
INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY
1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the
factory.
2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon
fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is
calculated by how the weighted clunk should
rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank
and move freely inside the tank). Connect one
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
other end to the nylon pick up tube in the
stopper.
3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45
degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.
38
4. Slide the pushrod housing through the hole in
the firewall, through the hole in the forward
bulkhead, and into the servo compartment.
5. Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the
pushrod
housing where it exits the firewall and where it
passes through the forward bulkhead. This will
secure the housing in place.
6. Using a modeling knife, cut off the nylon
pushrod
housing 26mm in front of the servo tray.
INSTALLING THE ENGINE
Locate the long piece of wire used for the throttle
pushrod. One end of the wire has been
pre-bend in to a "Z" bend at the factory. This
"Z" bend should be inserted into the throttle
arm of the engine when the engine is fitted onto
the engine mount. Fit the engine to the engine
mount using the screws provided.
INSTALLING THE THROTTLE PUSHROD HOUSING
1. Place the engine into the engine mount and
align it properly with the front of the cowling.
The distance from the firewall to the front of the
engine thrust washer should 120mm.
If your engine is equipped with a remote needle
valve, we suggest installing it into the engine at
this time.
2. When satisfied with the alignment of the engine,
use a pencil and mark the mounting hole
location onto the firewall, where the throttle
pushrod will exit.
3. Now, remove the engine. Using a 5mm drill bit,
drill holes through the firewall and the forward
bulkhead at the marks made.

5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the tank. It
may be necessary to remove some of the
flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
6. When satisfied with the alignment of the stopper
assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm machine
screw until the rubber stopper expands and
seals the tank opening. Do not over tighten the
assembly as this could cause the tank to split.
7. Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of fuel line
150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2 vent
tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in the
stopper.
8. Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and through the pre-drilled hole in
the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind the
engine, while guiding the fuel tank into place.
Push the fuel tank as far forward as possible,
the front of the tank should just about touch the
back of the firewall.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure the fuel
lines have not become kinked inside the fuel
tank compartment. Air should flow through
easily.
Do not secure the tank into place permanently
until after balancing the airplane. You may
need to remove the tank to mount the battery in
the fuel tank compartment.
9. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a bead of
silicon sealer to the forward area of the tank,
where it exits the fuselage behind the engine
mounting box and to the rear of the tank at the
forward bulkhead.
!
4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45
degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve
When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.

extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the aileron servo lead easier when you are
installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead
into the switch.
2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the
protective foam to protect them from vibration.
Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the
foam in place.
3. Position the battery pack and receiver behind
the fuel tank. Use the two light plywood pieces,
placed over the battery and receiver and glue
to the fuselage sides to hold the battery and
receiver securely in place. Use 15mm triangle
pieces glued between the fuselage sides and
the plywood pieces to reinforce the joints.
Do not permanently secure the receiver and
battery until after balancing the model.
4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through the
side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for the
antenna to exit.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
130mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 130mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up
with your fingers.
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G.
You should laterally balance it. Doing this will
help the airplane track straighter

LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G.
You should laterally balance it. Doing this will
help the airplane track straighter
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop
of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and
one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level,
carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may
require two people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier
than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead
weight to the bottom side of the lighter wing
half's wing tip. Follow this procedure until the
wing stays level when you lift the airplane.
CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in
the correct directions.

FLIGHT PREPARATION PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna. It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES
Made in Vietnam
When ready to fly, first extend the
transmitter aerial.
Operate the control sticks on the
transmitter and check that the control
surfaces move freely and in the
CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the
wind, this ensures that the model lands
at the slowest possible speed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter.
