8 Pack Trinity AA Alkaline batteries for the transmitter Part # 837801

Small and Medium Phillips-Head Screwdrivers and Small Adjustable Wrench

This section lists the items you will need to fly your new airplane.   As you can see, there's not much to it!

SECTION 2: RECOMMENDED ITEMS

Each airplane transmitter comes with a sticker on the crystal mount showing which frequency in the 27Mhz band that the radio
control system operates on.  The 27Mhz band is shared between model airplanes, cars and boats, so check the frequency if others
are in the area before turning on the radio control system.  No two models can operate near each other if they are on the same frequency.

SECTION 3: BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR P-51 MUSTANG EP RTF

Antenna:

  Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver inside the airplane.

Crystal Mount:

  This is where the transmitter's crystal is located.  The radio's frequency is printed on the crystal mount.

Elevator/Aileron Control Stick:

  This stick can move both right and left, and up and down at the same time.  The stick moves the

airplane's elevator and ailerons which make the airplane climb, descend, turn right and turn left.

On/Off Switch:

  Turns the transmitter on and off.

Red LED:

  This LED glows red when the transmitter is turned on.

Servo Reversing Switches: 

 These switches allow you to electronically change the direction the servos move.

Throttle/Rudder Control Stick:

  This stick can move both right and left, and up and down at the same time, and is used to apply

power to the motor and make the airplane yaw right and left.  The stick is proportional, meaning that motor power can be applied
gradually from off to full power.

Trim Tab:

  Used to electronically make minor trim adjustments to the control surfaces.

Voltage Scale:  

When the transmitter is turned on, the voltage scale displays the status of the transmitter batteries.

Your P-51 Mustang EP RTF includes a 6 cell Nickel Metal-Hydride flight battery and a 2.5 hour 110V AC wall charger to charge the
flight battery.  If you want to, you can purchase a second flight battery (P/N 143046) so that you have two.  That way, you can take
two fully-charged batteries with you to fly.  That means twice as much fun!

We also sell a high-performance quick-charger that can charge the  P-51 Mustang EP RTF flight
battery in about 30 minutes (instead of 2.5 hours) and is powered from a 110V AC power source
or from your car's 12 volt DC power source.  The WattAge PF-12 Peak-Detection Charger
(P/N  130108) will enable you to charge the flight battery at your flying field, so you can fly as
many times during the day as you want.

UPGRADE TIPS

Upgrading the transmitter to use rechargeable NiCD cells is easy.  All you need to do is
purchase 8 AA rechargeable NiCD cells (P/N 256911) and a 110V AC Tx overnight
charger (P/N 759805).  This will save you money in the long run, since the NiCD batteries
can be recharged.  This means no more buying AA Alkaline batteries!
