You will need a minimum 4-channel transmitter,

existing transmitter, just purchase the other required
equipment separately. We recommend the crystal-
free, interference-free Spektrum
™
DX5e 2.4GHz DSM

Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries
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.
During the course of building your model 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.

If you are using a computer radio, it is recommended
to start with a new program and clear it before
starting the installation of the electronics. Make sure
the trims, sub-trims and sticks are centered, and no
programmable mixing has been turned on as well.
1. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove the
servo horns from the two servos.
