1. Turn on the transmitter.

2.  Install a fully charged battery into the battery  

compartment and secure it with the included hook 

and loop strap.

3. Set the elevator trim lever to center.

4.  Make certain the elevator is set to neutral with the 

horizontal stabilizer. Do this by removing the clevis 

from the control horn and turning it on the pushrod 

as needed. Once the adjustment is made, reattach 

the clevis.

5.  If you feel more adjustments are necessary while in 

flight, move the trim lever on the transmitter a few 

“clicks” up or down as needed.

Warning:

 Keep everything clear of the propeller  

before starting the motor test; so you do not damage 

any property or harm anyone.

1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the “off” position.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3.  Plug the flight battery into the lead inside the  

fuselage.

4. Secure the battery inside the fuselage cavity by 

looping the hook and loop straps around the  

battery.

5.  Your P-51D Mustang has a built-in throttle  

arming feature that must sense the throttle slider in 

the “off” position before it will spin the  

propeller. Advance the throttle forward and the 

propeller should spin at a high speed. The throttle 

slider needs to be in the “off” position each time 

the battery is plugged into the airplane.

Control Test

6.  

Follow this step each time you need to turn the 

airplane off.

 When finished with the motor test, be 

sure to disconnect the battery first, and then turn 

off the transmitter. Each time you use your airplane 

you should always place the throttle in the “off” 

position, and then turn on the transmitter and plug 

the battery pack into the lead from the fuselage.

7.  Make any trim adjustments, as necessary, prior to 

flight (see Making Trim Adjustments to the  

Horizontal Stabilizer and Making Adjustments to 

the Ailerons).

ON/OFF

Throttle Lever

Elevator 

Reverse 

Switch

Alieron Reverse Switch

Aileron/Elevator Lever

Elevator Trim Lever

Aileron Trim Lever

Note:

 Transmitter above reflects Mode 2 only

Note:

 If ailerons or elevator are reversed simply  

move the reversing switch on the front face of the 

transmitter.

5.  Pull the stick back and the elevator control surface 

should move upward.

Warning:

 Keep everything clear of the propeller 

before starting the control test in the event that you 

accidentally turn on the motor.

1.  Be certain that the throttle slider is in the “off”  

position and that both trim levers are centered.

2.  Switch on the transmitter and check to make sure 

the LED is lit, indicating the transmitter has power.

3.  Install the flight battery into the fuselage and plug it 

into the battery connector.

4.  Move the stick from side to side. The ailerons on 

the trailing edge of the wings should move per your 

transmitter input. When the stick is pushed to the 

right, the right aileron should deflect upward and 

the left aileron downward, and vice versa.
