Propeller; Batteries And Charger; Additional Items Required; Required Hardware And Accessories - GREAT PLANES Shoestring Instruction Manual

Propeller

If you are installing a glow engine, choose a prop based
on the engine manufacturer's recommendation. If you are
installing the recommended RimFire brushless motor, we
suggest an APC 11x5.5E propeller (APCQ1055).

Batteries and Charger

For a brushless motor installation, two 3350mAh 11.1V
Lithium Polymer battery packs connected in series are
recommended. Order numbers for the battery packs and
series connector are provided below:
❏
Great Planes LiPo 3350mAh 11.1V 25C Discharge

❏
Great Planes Series Deans

A cell balancer is required for the LiPo battery listed above:

Triton2 ™ charger will only charge one pack at a time, but is
capable of charging NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, and Pb acid batteries.
