Epoxy
A two-part resin/hardener glue that is extremely strong. It is generally available in 6 and 30-minute
formulas. Used for critical points in the aircraft where high strength is necessary.
‡ Expanded Scale Voltmeter (ESV)
Device used to read the battery voltage of the on- board battery pack or transmitter battery pack.
‡ Exponential Rate
Offers servo travel that is not directly proportional to stick travel. Control response is milder below half-
stick, but becomes increasing stronger as stick travel approaches 100%. Great for aerobatics and trouble
situations.
‡ Fail Safe
A safety feature which turns a servo to a preset position if the signal is lost or interrupted. Additionally,
battery fail-safe is a safety feature which brings the throttle servo down to idle as a warning that the receiver

to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed. Flaps are
often found on scale models, but usually not on basic trainers.
