SECTION 1: OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your new
P-47 Thunderbolt EP ARF. Please read through this entire section very carefully. We have provided you with
recommendations that, if followed, will result in a great flying airplane. Failure to follow our recommendations may result
in a poor flying airplane.
The P-47 Thunderbolt EP ARF is designed to be flown with a brushless motor and matching LiPO flight battery. We recommend
using a 6T direct drive brushless motor, like the Multiplex BL-480/6D shown. An equivalent output brushless outrunner motor will
WHEN CHOOSING YOUR POWER SYSTEM, MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE AN ESC THAT IS RATED
FOR THE AMOUNT OF AMPERAGE YOUR MOTOR, PROPELLER AND FLIGHT BATTERY WILL DRAW.
TO CHARGE YOUR LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY, YOU MUST USE A LIPO-COMPATIBLE CHARGER. WE SUGGEST USING
THE PRO-PEAK QUATTRO LIPO CHARGER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A LIPO BATTERY WITH ANY OTHER TYPE
OF CHARGER.
YOU MUST USE AN ESC DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR BRUSHLESS MOTORS. ESC'S DESIGNED FOR USE WITH
BRUSHED MOTORS WILL NOT WORK WITH BRUSHLESS MOTORS.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING HIGH-QUALITY CONNECTORS (SUCH AS DEAN'S CONNECTORS) BETWEEN THE
ESC AND FLIGHT BATTERY.
Cirrus CS301 or CS302BB Micro servos or Hitec HS-55 Micro servos would be a perfect choice.
IMPORTANT The MRX-4II receiver has a range of approximately 500 yards (~1/4 mile). Keep this in mind when flying the
airplane while using this receiver.

IMPORTANT
The part number for the Cirrus servos is compatible with all name-brand radio control systems. These servos use a universal
connector. The Cirrus receiver is compatible with all connector types and is auto-shift capable. The part numbers for the Cirrus servo extensions
and Y-Harness are compatible with S/JR connectors.
What Motor, Speed Control and Battery Should I Use?
also work very well. If you use the recommended BL-480/6D brushless
motor, we suggest using a 7x4E propeller, 27 amp brushless ESC and a
3 Cell 2100mAH LiPO flight battery. This
combination is lightweight yet powerful and provides
great flight performance.
What Radio, Receiver and Servos Should I Use?
You will need to use a 4 or more channel transmitter with a 4 or more channel
micro receiver. The receiver should be as light as possible, preferably 1/2oz. or
less. We suggest using the Cirrus MRX-4II FM Micro receiver.
The servos you use should be the lightest available, yet still have an adequate
amount of torque. We suggest using servos that weigh no more than 9-10
grams and have a torque rating of no less than 11 ounces per square inch.
