Important Manual Correction!
During the proofing of our instruction manual for the P-51 Mustang Blue
Nose we inadvertently missed some errors in the recommended control throws
page. While the angle of deflection is correct, the actual travel in
inches or mm is incorrect. We understand that a few of our customers
use a degree wheel in setting up the airplane, but a majority of our
customers will use the measurement info. Here is the corrected information.

Electric motor mounting
During assembly of a sample kit it came to light that with certain conversions
to electric motor power that the supplied motor standoffs were too short
and that the supplied spinner mounting bolt was also a little short.
Much of this is dependant which motor and prop adaptor is used, however
should you have any issues of this sort please contact us at Horizon
Hobby where we will do our utmost to resolve the problem for you.
