2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an
unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few cases the instructions may
differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written
instructions should be considered as correct.
3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.
4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in fi rst-class
condition, and a correctly sized engine and components
(fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.
5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components
so that the model operates correctly on the ground and in
the air.
6. You must check the operation of the model before every
fl ight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.
7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own
this type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for
your fi rst fl ights. If you're not a member of a club, your local
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose
membership includes experienced pilots.
8. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal use,
if the plane will be used for extremely high-stress fl ying, such
as racing, or if a motor larger than one in the recommended
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to
reinforce the high-stress points and/or substituting hardware
more suitable for the increased stress.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
Remember: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE
WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with
this battery. Failure to follow all instructions could cause
permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and
cause bodily harm!
• ONLY use a LiPo approved charger. NEVER use a NiCd/
NiMH peak charger!
• NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
• ONLY charge through the "charge" lead. NEVER charge
through the "discharge" lead.
• NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.
• ALWAYS set the charger's output volts to match the
battery volts.
• ALWAYS charge in a fi reproof location.
• NEVER trickle charge.
• NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed
150° F [65° C].
• NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way or
puncture cells.
• NEVER discharge below 2.5V per cell.
• NEVER place on combustible materials or leave
unattended during charge or discharge.
• ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
This is a partial list of items required to fi nish the Extra 330S
EP ARF that may require planning or decision making before
starting to build. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.
Radio Equipment
A 4-channel radio system with four micro servos and a micro
receiver are required for this model. The servos and receiver
shown in the manual are Futaba
the Futaba R114F micro receiver. Two 6" [150mm] servo
extensions, two 16" [400mm] servo extensions, and a
Y-harness are also required. Order numbers for these items
are provided.

Motor Recommendations
The Extra 330S EP ARF comes with two mounting boxes that will
accommodate either a brushless in-runner motor with gear drive
or a brushless out-runner motor. For all-out 3D performance,
we suggest the out-runner motor. For sport fl ying, either motor
choice is acceptable. The motors that have been tested and
perform well in this plane are listed below. If using the in-runner
motor with gear drive, be sure to install the 11T pinion that is
included with the gear drive to achieve a gear ratio of 4.5:1.
