C. G.
P.11
The ideal C. G. position is 115mm ( 4.5in ) behind the leading edge measured at where the wing meets the
fuselage. In order to obtain the C. G. specified, add weight to the fuselage or move the battery position.
Check the C. G. before flying.
Important Safety Precautions
First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer is absolutely necessary.
Pre - flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly pre - adjusted aircraft.
P-51 MUSTANG 60 is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.61-0.75 or 4C 0.91
engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over
powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get too close to a running propeller.
If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron
to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise
the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering.
Don t use hot iron near the seams or edges,hot iron will melt the glue and shrink
the covering at the same time,causing the seams to pull away.
Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
When Flaps are lowered, nose of model will rise. The nose-up varies with the speed at which
the models is flying when you lower the flaps and the extent to which they are lowered. Check
effect of flaps at higher altitude to avoid surprises during landing. You may apply down trim
of the elevator to compensate for the nose-up effect when lowering the flaps. Taking off with flaps lowered is not recommended, as the increased drag may require a longer runway and more engine power for the model.

Usage of the transparent 3D template
This transparent 3D template is used for position guidance of the actual cutting of the pre-painted cowling.
1 2
3 4
Simply cut the transparent 3D template to fit your engine and exhaust pipe, then slide onto the actual cowling and use as template to mark the openings required for final cutting.
LINKAGE CONNECTOR
HW7111050 & HW7111060
Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
Insert linkage connector into servo horn.
Make sure shoulder of screw is cleared from servo horn.
Add washer to reduce play if necessary.
Shoulder
Tighten up the round nut against the shoulder. Apply
CA or permanent thread locker.
After fastening the round nut, make sure that the linkage connector can rotate freely.
