Glow Engine

The Zero is suited for a .46 – .55 2-stroke or .70 4-stroke. The

a Bisson Pitts-style muffl er (BISG4046).

Brushless Electric Motor

The electric setup for the Zero is straightforward: a Great
Planes ElectriFly RimFire .32 on a 13 x 8 E prop with a minimum
60A ESC powered by a 4S battery in the 3300 mAh – 4000 mAh
range* . A Castle Creations Edge Lite 75 was selected and is
illustrated in the instruction manual because it is compact,
easily programmable and features data logging.

LiPo Battery Charger

To charge a 4S 4000mAh LiPo at 1C, a charger capable of
at least 70 watts is required (4S x 4.2V/cell = 16.8V x 4A =
67 watts). The Triton2 EQ is more than enough charger with
100 W output AC and 120 W output DC (GPMM3156).
ADHESIVES, HARDWARE AND
OTHER ACCESSORIES
Other than common hobby tools here is a list of the rest of
the items required:

Epoxy brushes (GPMR8060)
Mixing cups (GPMR8056)
Mixing sticks (GPMR8055)
Threadlocker thread locking cement (GPMR6060)

A Robart Super Stand II (ROBP1402) is also indispensable
for working on your Zero.
A covering iron with a cover sock may be required for
tightening and re bonding the covering to the model that may
have loosened between the time the plane was manufactured
and the time the model was removed from the box. The 21
Century iron is preferred because of its long cord, contoured
shoe and precisely adjustable temperature range:
