Hangar 9 P-51 PTS Mk II Assembly Manual
RUDDER HIGH RATE
RUDDER LOW RATE
Hint
: Place your ruler on a solid surface, rather than
holding it in the air, to take measurements. This will
guarantee your ruler is not moving. If the ruler is
moving you will get inaccurate readings.
Note
: If you can borrow a throw gauge that measures
in degrees, the amounts are:
• Elevator: 14 degrees instead of 1/2
-inch (13mm)
• Rudder: 14 degrees instead of 7/8
-inch (22mm)
• Ailerons: 12 degrees instead of 5/16
-inch (8mm)
If the throws of the control surfaces are not moving the
amounts as described, you may need to change the Travel
Adjustment setting in the radio. To do so, read the section in
the radio manual on programming.
Please note where the dimensions are measured from the
following points:
The ailerons are measured as close to the wing tip as
possible.
The elevators are measured at the widest point, which is
close to the fuselage.
The rudder is measured at the bottom, which is the widest
point of the rudder.
IMPORTANT
You will need to set the flap position based
on your skill level before flying your P-51 PTS Mustang.
The positioning of the flaps is described in
Section 20: Progressing With Your Flying Skills,
located on Page 25 of this manual.
Section 16:
