E-flite P-38/F-5E Lightning Assembly Manual
You will need a 3-channel or greater transmitter (at least 4-channel
with optional rudders and/or steerable nose wheel), crystals (if
applicable), micro receiver, and 3 sub-micro servos (or up to 6
if using the optional rudders and steerable nose wheel). You can
choose to purchase a complete radio system that includes most
of these items or, if you are using an existing transmitter, simply
purchase the other required equipment separately.
Note
: We highly recommend the crystal-free, interference-
free Spektrum
®
DX6 2.4GHz DSM
®
6-channel radio
system (SPM2460). The complete system includes four
S75 sub-micro servos and a 6-channel micro receiver.

Note
: When using our recommended Brushless Power
System, you do not need to use a separate BEC or
receiver battery pack to power the radio gear as long as
you are using our recommended servos. This is because
the BECs of the two brushless ESCs are working in
parallel, allowing them to support up to 6 servos.
Note
: When using our recommended Brushed Power
System, you MUST use a separate BEC or receiver
battery pack to power the radio gear if using more than
3 servos. This is because the BEC of the single brushed
ESC cannot reliably support more than 3 servos.
We recommend the use of a separate BEC (like the Ultimate BEC),
or a receiver pack and switch:
