alignment of the vertical stabilizer. When you are
satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil to trace
around the right and left of the stabilizer where it
meets the fuselage.
2-Remove the vertical stabilizer from the fuselage.
Using the sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away the
covering inside the lines which were marked above.
3-Spread epoxy (30 minute) onto the right and left and
bottom of the vertical stabilizer along the area where
the covering was removed and to the fuselage where
the vertical stabilizer mounts.
4-Install the vertical stabilizer into the fuselage and
adust the alignment as described in steep 1.
5-Wipe off any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

* WARNING: When removing any covering from the airframe, please ensure that you secure the
cut edge with CA or similar cement. This will ensure the covering remain tight.

IMPORTANT:
Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol, only use liquid soap with water or use glass cleaner
to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.
Note: Cut out the stickers and apply them in the proper area. Do not
peel the backing paper off all at once.
Peel off one corner of the backing and cut off with scissors.
Arrange sticker on model and when satisfied adhere the corner
without backing.
Carefully peel back the rest of the backing while at the same
time adhering the rest of the sticker.
Try not to make air bubbles, if there are some, carefully
puncture sticker (center of bubble) but not model surface with
the tip of the knife or sharp pin and squeeze out the air.
At curves stretch sticker and apply a little heat so that no ceases
occur.
Cut off the excess that is produced.

IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights.
If,after you have become accustomed to the way the P-51 flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste
that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better”.

If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.

1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above.
3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to
lightly sand the dihedral brace.
4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
5- Mix up some 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half.
6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace
into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly
7- Do the same way with the other wing half.
8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves
together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clean off the excess epoxy with paper towel and kerosene.

IMPORTANT:
Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use
kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.
1-Depending on the position of the linkage, determine the location of aileron control horn.
The horn holes must be perfectly aligned with the axis of articulation.
2-Mark the position of the “foot” of the horn on the aileron. Then, with the drill, make the 2
