While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal use,
if the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl ying,
such as racing, or if a motor larger than the one included
is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps
to reinforce the high stress points and/or substituting
hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends on how
you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the
performance of your completed model, and no representa-
tions are expressed or implied as to the performance or
safety of your completed model.
REMEMBER:
Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
REQUIRED ITEMS
Radio Components
A transmitter and receiver with 4-channels minimum
(6-channel for optional retracts and fl aps) is required. The
Tactic TTX650 6-channel or Futaba 6J 6-channel radio system
are great low-cost radio systems perfect for the P-51 Mustang
EP Series ARF.

Battery and Charger
A 3S 1800mAh – 2200mAh LiPo battery is required to power
the P-51 Mustang ARF.

Most modelers may already have a suitable LiPo charger,
but for those that do not, the Duratrax Onyx 235 AC/DC
Advanced Peak Charger (DTXP4235) is one of the suitable
chargers recommended. The Onyx charger is perfect for
3S batteries used with the P-51 Mustang ARF and may be
powered either by an external DC power source (such as
a 12V battery), or a 110V AC outlet. The Onyx also has an
adjustable charge rate to charge your batteries in as little
as a half-hour or less (depending on the condition of your
batteries and the manufacturer’s specifi ed charge rate). The
Onyx can also charge large batteries and batteries other than
LiPo. So it is a versatile charger you can grow into. The 235
also has an LCD digital display screen, so you can see how
much capacity it took to recharge the battery (required for
monitoring the condition of your batteries and calculating
how long your plane can fl y).
