Electronic Speed Control (Esc); Additional Items Required; Adhesives & Building Supplies; Optional Supplies & Tools - GREAT PLANES J-3 Cub Instruction Manual

Electronic Speed Control (ESC)

An Electronic Speed Control (ESC) with Battery Eliminator
Circuitry (BEC) is required. The BEC allows both the motor
and the radio system to be powered by the same battery
(thus eliminating the on-board receiver battery). The Great
Planes ElectriFly C-7 Nano Brushed ESC (GPMM2005)
is recommended.

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

• When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, and then slightly modify
or custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
