If you plan to connect the aileron and fl ap servos
together using Y-harnesses then you will need two 12"
[305mm] servo extensions for the ailerons and two 6"
[152mm] servo extensions for the fl ap servos. You will
also need two Y-harnesses:

SCALE COMPETITION
Though the Top Flite P-40 Warhawk ARF may not have
the same level of detail as an “all-out” scratch-built
competition model, it is a scale model nonetheless
and is therefore eligible to compete in the
Fun Scale
class in AMA competition (we receive many favorable
reports of Top Flite models in scale competition!). To
receive the fi ve points for scale documentation, the
only proof required that a full size aircraft of this type
in your paint/markings scheme did exist is a single
sheet such as a kit box cover from a plastic model,
a photo, or a profi le painting, etc. If the photo is in
black and white other written documentation of color
must be provided. Contact the AMA for a rule book
with full details.
If you would like photos of the full-size P-40 Warhawk
for scale documentation, or if you would like to study
the photos to add more scale details, photo packs are
available from:
