Scale P-51 “Speed Wing”
Assembly Guidelines

Notes to builder: This wing was designed with the intention that assembly would utilize a wing jig. There are no tabs for building on a flat surface. Assembly guidelines demonstrate use of the Great Planes wing jig, merely because it comes complete, and is likely to be the most readily available version for the average modeler.



The intent of this design was to improve scale fidelity by incorporating a truly scale wing outline/plan-form, given the length of the World Models P-51 ARF and original Great Planes P-51 kit/ARF, while introducing an airfoil design that was capable of higher racing speeds and slightly improved low-speed stability, when compared to the stock wing – especially if the stock wing was clipped.
