Flying Tips and Repairs

Range Check your Radio System
After final assembly, range check the radio system with the P-51 Mustang BL.
Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
CAUTION: Keep hands away from the propeller. Always assume the
motor is powered on and that propeller blades may turn at any time.
Launching
Always inspect and repair model before flying. Any damage or loose linkages
decrease control a large amount in high-speed flight.
Always launch your model at a very small upward angle and directly into
the wind, even in a light breeze.
Hand Launching
To hand launch the P-51 Mustang BL, hold the airplane on the underside of the
fuselage. While giving the transmitter full throttle, give a firm throw directly
into the wind slightly up (5–10 degrees above the horizon).
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone P-51 Mustang BL.
It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an
approved site, always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You
should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people,
such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
Stand here.

Fly in this area
(upwind of pilot).
• Make sure linkages move freely
• Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter
• Adjust flight controls and transmitter
• Perform a radio system Range Check
• Find a safe and open area
• Plan flight for flying field conditions
Only fly when there is little to no wind. Flying in too much wind is the reason
for most crashes.
NOTICE: When finished flying, never keep the airplane in the sun.
Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing
so can damage the foam.
Landing
Land the model when you either hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or you notice
a reduction in power. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you
have enough flight time to make several landing approaches.
To land, fly the aircraft down using 1/4 to 1/3 throttle and bring it in directly
into the wind. Prior to touch down, reduce throttle completely and flare the
nose up to avoid damage to the propeller and other components.
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam construction of the P-51 Mustang BL, repairs to the
™
foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy,
etc). When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your model can damage paint.
DO NOT wipe accelerant from model. Let accelerant evaporate.
Note: When making repairs to the horizontal stab, foam safe CA must be used.
