Overview
PTS stands for Progressive Trainer System—groundbreak-ing new
technology that allows pilots to progress from learning to fly to performing
sport aerobatics without having to upgrade or buy a new airplane. Clear
plastic NACA droops attach to the outer edges of the wing, providing
beginners with extra stability during training and manipulating the stock airfoil
to produce added lift. The fixed landing gear features a special speed brake
system that keeps the flying speed down, making the Mustang easy to
handle. 2-position flaps add drag, and can be later upgraded to functioning
flaps by adding a servo.
Once the pilot has mastered the basics of RC flight, he can quickly and easily
remove the droops and speed brakes, instantly transforming the ready-to-fly
trainer into a smooth-flying sport plane able to fly a variety of aerobatics such
as loops, spins and snap rolls.
Hangar 9 has provided this beautiful .40-size P-51 Mustang with everything a
beginner needs to start flying immediately, including JR's XF421EX 5-channel
computer radio system and Evolution Engines' no-fuss Trainer Power System,
ready to start right from the box with no tuning or lengthy break-in period
necessary.

Overview
Learning to fly a radio control airplane is one of the most exciting and rewarding challenges you can undertake. It's
a hobby you can enjoy for a lifetime and will open doors to new experiences and friends you might have never
known otherwise. This is why success during your first few flights is so important. It lays the groundwork for a
lifetime of enjoyment. With the ready-to-fly Alpha Trainer from Hangar 9®, your success is all but assured, thanks
to its gentle, beginner-friendly flight characteristics and an ingenious Evolution Trainer Power System® that makes
the Alpha the easiest-starting, smoothest-running trainer available.
A successful first flight doesn't start until the engine does. Yet many ready-to-fly trainers that claim to be for
beginners come equipped with engines that demand a level of experience most beginners don't have. This is the
magic of the Hangar 9 Alpha's extraordinary Evolution Trainer Power System. Every Evolution system's engine is
test run and tuned at the factory so a novice can easily get the Alpha flying right out of the box. No break-in period.
No tedious trial-and-error with the carburetor settings. Just fuel it up and, with a few flips of the prop, you're flying.
No matter how gentle a ready-to-fly trainer's flight characteristics, learning to manage speed and power is one of
the biggest challenges for a beginner. The Evolution system uses a specially designed, three-bladed prop that
provides superb climb performance and slower level-flight speeds at high power settings. It's a lot quieter
too-nearly 4db quieter than a typical 10 x 6 two-bladed prop. What it all adds up to is a trainer that reduces the
beginner's workload by letting him focus more on flying and less on managing the throttle.
Nothing can rattle the nerves when you're learning to fly like losing the engine in-flight because you can't seem to
find the right carburetor setting. That's why the Evolution system uses a unique crankshaft flywheel that helps keep
the engine running at low throttle settings by preserving crankshaft momentum. The carburetor settings are also
limited to prevent relatively new pilots from making tuning mistakes.
