MUSTANG P-51. Instruction Manual.

INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing the MUSTANG P-51 ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The MUSTANG P-51

wasdesigned with theintermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind.It is a semiscale airplane which

is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to

make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You

will find that most of the work has been done for you already.Flying the MUSTANG P-51 is simply

ajoy.

This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this

manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your MUSTANG P-51. Use the parts listing below

to identify all parts.

WARNING.

Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is

capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU

ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurfaceshouldlightlycontactthe

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Note:

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but the

hinges are not glued in place. It is

imperativethat you properlyadhere the

hingesin place perthe steps that follow

using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Remove each hingefrom the wingpanel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

untiltheT-pinissnug against the aileron.This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

oneithersideof the hinge line whentheaileron

is mounted to the wing panel.

HINGING THE AILERONS.

Note:

The hinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick or

penetrateanddistributethroughoutthe

hinge, securely bonding it to the wood

structureofthe wing paneland aileron.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less

shouldbe maintained between thewing panel

andaileron.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,makingsure thattheC/Apenetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel,remove any excess C/Aglue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

8)After both ailerons are securely hinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

Note:Work the aileron up and down several

times to “work in” the hinges and check

for proper movement.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.

Repeat the procedure for orther wing

haft.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

WING ASSEMBLY.

NOTE:We highly recommend using 30

minute epoxy as it is stronger and

providesmoreworkingtime,allowing

thebuildertoproperlyaligntheparts.

Using fast cure epoxy when joining

the wing halves could result in the

gluedryingbeforethewinghalvesare

aligned properly which may result in

failure of the wing centre section

duringflight.

1) Locatetheplywoodwingdihedralbrace.

Using a ruler, locate its centre and draw a

vertical line .

2) Testfitthedihedralbraceintoeachwing

half. The brace should slide in easily up to the

centreline that you drew. If not, use 220 grit

sandpaper with a sanding block and sand

down the edges and ends of the brace until it

fits properly.

3) Remove the brace when satisfied with

its fit in each wing half. Coat both sides of one

halfofthedihedralbracewith30minuteepoxy.

Next,poursomeepoxyintothedihedralboxin

one wing panel. Make sure you cover the top

andbottomaswellasthesidesofthedihedral

brace. Use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

and firmly press them together, allowing the

excess epoxy to run out. There should not be

any gap in the wing halves. Use rubbing

alcohol and a paper tower to clean up any

excess epoxy.

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS.

We recommended to use long servos

arm for all servos without throttle servo.

Install the rubber grommets and brass

colletsontotheaileronservo. Test fittheservo

into the aileron servo mount.

Install the servo into the servo tray.

Apply masking tape at the wing join to hold

the wing halves together securely.

4) Peel off the backing from the self adhe-

sivecoveringstrip.Applythestriptothecentre

Because the size of servos differ, you

mayneedto adjust the sizeof the precut

opening in the mount. The notch in the sides

of the mount allow the servo lead to pass

through.

Using a small weight (Weighted fuel pick-up

workswell)andthread, feedthe string through

the wing as indicated.

Install the aileron servo tray into the servo

mount.

Repeat the procedure for orther wing

haft.

Attach the string to the servo lead and

carefully thread it though the wing. Once you

4) Using a 1mm drill bit and the control

horns as a guide, drill the mounting holes

through the aileron halves.

5) Mountthe control hornsby inserting the

screws through the control horn bases and

aileron halves, then into the mounting

backplates. Do not overtighten the screws or

the backplates may crush the wood.

6)Threadone adjustable controlhorn onto

for the wood screws.

Be careful not to drill through the top

of the wing!

 6) Reinstall the gear wire and install the

6mm set screw onto each axle. Push the

wheel collars on as far as they will go and

tighten the set screws.

Be careful not to overtighten the set

screws. Overtightening may cause the

threads to strip.
