Newbie help P-51 Mustang Kit 402

Can someone please tell me where the L2 parts go in the fuze? The instructions and pictorials are difficult to figure out.

Thanks

I don't have the plans in front of me and have to do a little guessing based on memory and what photos of my build that I have available. The L2 parts form part of the rubber band motor system by providing a secure mounting for the rear motor peg. If you're not going to fly on rubber power these can be safely discarded. If you want to use them they go just above the side keels on both sides just in front of fuselage former B8. You should be able to see this on the side view, just below the antenna and partly covered by the star and bar.

you can see it here. note i moved mine up one former, but in theory its the same. hope the picture is clear. a lot of times the L2 parts are a poor fit, so some sanding may be necessary. also, the one in my build here are actually backwards. the hole for the dowl should actually be facing the rear of the plane.

[SteveM]

Should be pretty obvious from this picture where L2 goes, but remember that you only need them and the dowel for rubber powered flight.

Many thanks to all that replied. Just goes to show how green I am.

Green isn't a problem, that goes away with time and experience.

Glad to see it is all worked out.
