Adding Weights to Correct the Balance
Due to manufacturing differences, it is possible that the
P-51 PTS Mustang may not be balanced properly. Weights
can be added to either the tail or the nose of your P-51 PTS
Mustang if it does not balance properly. Stick-on weights are
the easiest to use, and come in sizes that are easily placed
on your plane. Add just enough weight as necessary to
balance your plane. Once the weight has been added, make
sure it is secure and will not fall off in flight.
Note
: The balance point of your P-51 PTS Mustang
can vary 1/4-inch (6mm) forward or rearward without
causing any problems. If your plane is only slightly out
of balance, try placing the balancing stand towards the
nose or tail by this 1/4-inch (6mm) and recheck the
balance. If it looks good and sits level, then you’re good
to go!
Section 18:
How to Range Test the DX6i
Before each flying session, and especially with a new
model, it is important to perform a range check. The DX6i
incorporates a range testing system which, when placed
in the RANGE CHECK program and the trainer switch is
activated and held, reduces the output power, allowing a
range check.
To enter the Range Check mode, hold the roller down then
turn on the power switch. Use the roller to scroll to Range
Check then press the roller to enter the Range Check mode.
Pulling the trainer switch forward will reduce the output
power of the transmitter to properly perform the range check
of your model.
