Hangar 9 P-51 PTS Mk II Assembly Manual
Section 1:
Charging your Receiver Battery
Items required
• Fuselage assembly
• Charger
Before flying your P-51 Mustang PTS, you will need to
charge the receiver battery for 12–14 hours prior to use.
Although the radio system may work as shipped, the receiver
battery is not fully charged and flying your model without
charging will result in the loss of communication between
the transmitter and receiver. This situation will cause the loss
of your aircraft.
You can elect to charge the batteries at this time, or begin
the assembly of your aircraft. Please make sure to take the
time to fully charge the batteries before checking the control
throws and before every flying session.
Step 1
Remove the canopy from the fuselage by sliding the canopy
hatch pin forward and lifting up the rear of the canopy hatch.
The hatch has tabs at the front that insert into the fuselage to
keep the front of the hatch down in flight.
Step 2
Plug the battery charger into a suitable outlet or power strip
to power the charger.
Note
: A transmitter adapter has been included and
attached to the charger as shipped. This adapter will
need to be removed before charging the receiver
battery.
Step 3
Connect the battery charger to the lead exiting the switch
harness labeled CHARGE. Allow the charger to charge the
battery for 10–12 hours before flying your model.
Hint
: Prior to flying your model, connect the charger and
charge the receiver pack. This routine will guarantee a
charge on the receiver battery for your flying session. Use
care not to overcharge the receiver pack by leaving the
charger on longer than the recommended 10–12 hours.
