1. Position yourself at your flying field so that you keep the sun at your back and out of your eyes Wear sunglasses on bright days Keep the aircraft upwind especially on windier days to prevent it from flying away The wind is normally stronger at higher altitudes than it is on the ground Keep your plane in front of you so you don t have to turn in circles as you fly Try to avoid flying directly overhead Repairing Minor Damage If you happen to crash and part of the tail or wing breaks you can repair the damage by using regular medium CA glue to glue the pieces back on or packing tape to cover the missing pieces However if the damage is severe or if the wings and or tail are bent replace the damaged parts prior to flying again See the last few pages of the manual for a complete list of replacement parts for your P 51D Mustang Note Horizontal stabilizer is not compatible with regular CA Use foam safe CA or replace stabilizer if damaged ParkZone 18 Amp ESC Optional RS232 Serial Link amp Programming Software Programming your ESC will be much faster and easier when you purchase the optional RS232 Serial Link and programming software This will allow you to update your Specifications Continuous Current 18A Max Burst Current 25A 15 sec Length 47 0mm ae papal ESC using a laptop or PC You must have a Serial Port eight 8 5mm Weight 31 0 g on your computer or you can purchas2.
