Recommended Radio Equipment

You will need a minimum 4-channel transmitter,
receiver and two servos. You can choose to purchase
a complete radio system. If you are using an
existing transmitter, just purchase the other required
equipment separately. We recommend the crystal-
free, interference-free Spektrum ™
5-channel system. If using your own transmitter, we
recommend the E-flite S60 Sub-Micro servos.
®
If you own a Spektrum radio, just add a DSM2
receiver and two E-flite S60 Sub-Micro servos. We
show the installation of the AR6100 receiver in the
manual.

Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries

An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause
serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly
only in open areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of
Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all
instructions included with your radio.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in the
propeller away from the prop, including loose clothing,
or other objects such as pencils and screwdrivers.
Especially keep your hands away from the propeller.
During the course of building your Nieuport 17
250 Slow Flyer we suggest that you use a soft
base for the building surface. Such things as a
foam stand, large piece of bedding foam or a
thick bath towel will work well and help protect
the model from damage during assembly.

Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly
more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/
Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications.
All manufacturer's instructions and warnings
must be followed closely. Mishandling of
Li-po batteries can result in fire. Always
follow the manufacturer's instructions when
disposing of Lithium Polymer batteries.
