4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in fi rst-class
condition, and a correctly sized motor and components
throughout the building process.
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.
8. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal use, if
the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl ying, such
as racing, or if a motor larger than one in the recommended
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to
reinforce the high stress points and/or substituting hardware
more suitable for the increased stress.
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 that is straight and true.
DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
This is a partial list of items required to fi nish the Super Sportster
EPO that may require planning or decision making before
starting to build. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.
Radio Equipment
The Super Sportster EPO requires a minimum 4-channel
transmitter and receiver. If you have a transmitter already, a
standard 2.4GHz receiver or micro FM receiver is recommended.
If you need to purchase a transmitter, we recommend the
Futaba 6EX 2.4GHz transmitter/receiver combo as it provides
digital trims, dual rates and end point adjustments, model
memory and other mixing options that will be useful for future
model airplanes or helicopters you purchase. Part numbers
for these models are provided below:
❍ Futaba
® 6EX 6-Channel 2.4GHz Transmitter/Receiver
(FUTK6900)
❍ Futaba R617FS 7-Channel 2.4GHz FASST ™ Receiver
(FUTL7627)
Batteries and Charger
One 1250-1300mAh 11.1V Lithium Polymer battery pack is
required. Recommended batteries are provided below.
❍ SuperTigre
® LiPo 11.1V 1250mAh 15C (SUPP1030)
❍ Great Planes ElectriFly LiPo 3S 11.1V 1300mAh 25C
Power (GPMP0505)
The Great Planes 1300mAh pack will require the use
of an adapter (SUPM0040)
A cell balancer is required for the LiPo battery packs
listed above:
❍ Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox™ LiPo Cell Balancer
1-5 (GPMM3160)
A suitable charger is also required. The Great Planes
PolyCharge4 is designed for LiPo packs only, but is able to
charge four LiPo packs simultaneously. The Great Planes
Triton2 charger will only charge one pack at a time. However, it
is capable of charging NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, and Pb acid batteries.
Order numbers for both are provided below:
❍ Great Planes PolyCharge4™ DC Only 4 Output LiPo
Charger (GPMM3015)
