Default RE: Parkzone P-51 Preflight check list and Launch tips

Added items by The Marsh Man:

1. Be aware that that the wires for the ailerons can corrode over time and should be checked and lubed. Lube them now with a graphite or other lube that should protect the wires.

2. If the wires do corrode, replace them with a guitar wire. The guitar wire has a higher nickel content and is more resistant to corrosion. The ultimate replacement would be stainless steel wire if you can find it.
