E-flite P-51B Mustang 32e ARF Assembly Manual
15. Use four 2mm x 8mm sheet metal screws with
shoulder and a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the
flap servo cover to the wing. You can remove the
mark made earlier when the cover was removed
using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.
16. Set the flap switch (or knob) to the UP position.
Use the endpoint adjustment to align the flap with
the trailing edge of the wing. You will want to make
sure both flaps sit up without binding by adjusting
the clevis. This will help to ensure they throw the
same amount when going down.
17. Set the flap switch (or knob) to the DOWN
position. Use the endpoint adjustment to set the
distance between the wing trailing edge and flap so
it measures 1

-inch (41mm).
18. Repeat Steps 1 through 17 to install the
remaining aileron servo and linkage.
When installing the remaining flap servo, start with
the flap and flap servo in the UP position (using the
transmitter) to set the correct length for the linkage. This
will avoid stalling the servo if the linkage is too short.
19. Remove the string from the flap and aileron
leads. Mark the flap lead using low-tack tape. Make
sure your radio system has been turned off as to not
run the batteries down.
