E-flite P-51B Mustang 32e ARF Assembly Manual
9. When balancing your model, support the plane
inverted at the marks made on the top of the wing
with your fingers or a commercially available
balancing stand. This is the correct balance point
for your model. Make sure your model is assembled
and ready for flight before balancing.
Balancing Stand
If you have installed retracts, balance
your model with the gear down.
Adjust the motor battery as necessary so the model is
level or slightly nose down. This is the correct balance
point for your model. You should find the CG to be
very close with the battery installed as shown in this
manual. Mark the location of the battery on the battery
tray using a felt-tipped pen so it can be returned to this
position if it is removed from your model.
After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted
for your personal preference.

Slide the tubing through the loop in the drop tank to
hold it in position.
