Hangar 9 P-51 PTS Mk II Assembly Manual
Step 5
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to attach the exhaust stacks to
the fuselage using the four #2 x 5/16-inch wood screws.
Note
: The exhaust stack for the right side of the
model is shorter than the left. This is necessary to
clear the muffler.
Hint
: Starting the screw partially in the exhaust stack
will help in getting the screw started in the pre-drilled
holes in the cowling and fuselage.
Section 5:
Attaching the Wing
Items required
• Wing panel (right and left) • Hex wrench: 3/32-inch
• Fuselage assembly
• Wing tube
• #4 washer (2)
• #4 lock washer (2)
• 4-40 x 1-inch socket head screw (2)
Step 1
Locate the aluminum wing tube. Slide the wing tube into the
wing tube socket in one of the wing panels. There is a stop
inside the wing, so don’t force the tube further into the wing
than it will easily slide.
