 3.   You must take time to 

build straight,

 

true

 and 

strong

.

 4.   You must use an R/C radio system that is in fi rst-class 

condition.

 5.   You must correctly install all R/C and other components 

so that the model operates correctly on the ground and 
in the air.

 6.   You must check the operation of the model before 

every

 

fl ight to insure that all equipment is operating and that 
the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to 
check clevises or other connectors often and replace 
them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.

 7.   

If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own this 
type of model before, we recommend that you get the 

assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for 

your fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of a club, your 

local hobby shop has information about clubs in your 
area whose membership includes experienced pilots.

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality, 
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the 
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends 
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way 
guarantee the performance of your completed model, 
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the 
performance or safety of your completed model.

REMEMBER: Take your time and follow the instructions 
to end up with a well-built model.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED

Radio Components

A 3-channel radio with elevon (sometimes called delta), an 

Electronic Speed Control and two mini servos with 38oz. of 
torque are required to fl y the CrazE Wing ARF. The Tactic 

TTX650 6-channel or Futaba 6J 6-channel radio system are 

great low cost radio systems perfect for the CrazE Wing ARF.

Battery and Charger

  A 3S to 4S 1800mAh – 2200mAh LiPo battery is required 

to power the CrazE Wing ARF.

  ElectriFly 3S 1800mAh 30C (GPMP0855)

  ElectriFly 3S 2200mAh 30C (GPMP0861)

  FlightPower 3S 1800mAh 50C (FPWP5183)

  ElectriFly 4S 2200mAh 30C (GPMP0862)

  FlightPower 4S 2200mAh 30C (FPWP3224)

Most modelers may already have a suitable LiPo charger, 
but for those that do not, the Duratrax Onyx 235 AC/DC 

Advanced Peak Charger (DTXP4235) is one of the suitable 

chargers recommended. The Onyx charger is perfect for 3 
and 4S batteries used with the CrazE Wing ARF and may 
be powered either by an external DC power source (such 
as a 12V battery), or a 110V AC outlet. The Onyx also has 
an adjustable charge rate to charge your batteries in as little 
as a half-hour or less (depending on the condition of your 
batteries and manufacturer’s specifi ed  charge  rate).  The 
Onyx can also charge larger batteries and batteries other 
than LiPo, so it is a versatile charger you can grow into. The 
235 also has an LCD digital display screen, so you can see 
how much capacity it took to recharge the battery (required 
for monitoring the condition of your batteries and calculating 
how long you can fl y).
