OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your new aircraft.
Please read through this entire section very carefully. We have provided you with recommendations that, if
WHAT GLOW ENGINE SHOULD I USE?
For scale-like looks, sound and performance we suggest using a .52-.61 size four-stroke
engine. If you prefer to use a two-stroke engine, we suggest using a .40-.52 size
two-stroke engine.
Whether you're going to use a two-stroke engine or a four-stroke engine, the engine
should be mounted inverted.
WHAT BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM SHOULD I USE?
little weight, use a 4000mAH LiPO battery. It's also important that you used high-quality connectors, such as Dean's Ultra Plugs or
Pro-Peak 4mm Gold Plugs.
WHAT RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM AND SERVOS SHOULD I USE?
The Blue Max V2 ARF will require the use of a 4-channel or more radio control system. A
standard radio control system or a more sophisticated computer radio control system would
work equally well. At a minimum, the transmitter should feature dual rates and servo reversing.
A standard-size receiver and airborne battery pack can be used as well.
of 4 servos (3 servos for the electric version). We suggest using a 12" (305mm) long aileron
servo extension to make is easier to plug the aileron servo into the receiver when you install
the wing,
