TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Ares [air-eez] Gamma 370 V2 offers a combination of stability and durability perfect for first-

time pilots while also delivering smooth and capable flight performance experienced sport flyers will 

enjoy.  The advanced EPO foam airframe design is lightweight, durable, easy to repair, and also 

arrives factory assembled and nearly ready-to-fly right out of the box so you can be flying in almost 

no time at all.

Unlike other similar class models that require significant modifications to upgrade to brushless 

power systems and aileron control, the Gamma 370 V2 is designed so it’s ready for both.  The 

very affordable Brushless Power System Upgrade Combo includes an a 20-Amp brushless ESC, 

a powerful 370 brushless motor and motor mount that install easily in just minutes.  Plus, for full 

4-channel control and aerobatic capability, the optional aileron-equipped wing set can be mounted in 

place of the standard wing without any modification.

The Gamma 370 V2 can be upgraded to fly off water with the addition of the optional float kit. The 

float kit comes complete with everything needed to convert your Gamma 370 V2 for float flying. The 

Gamma 370 V2 can be flown off the water with either the brushed or brushless motors and with 

either wing choice. No modification is required to install the float kit as the rear float mount is already 

installed in the Gamma 370 V2 fuselage.

The Gamma 370 is available in RTF (Ready-To-Fly) and PTF (Pair-to-Fly) versions that include a 

factory installed 370-motor equipped power system, ESC and 9-gram sub micro servos.  The PTF 

version is supplied complete with a Hitec Red receiver that is compatible with your favorite Hitec 

aircraft transmitter. The RTF version includes everything needed to fly right out of the box. From 

the AA batteries for the 6-channel IKONNIK KA-6 2.4GHz transmitter and a 6-channel Hitec Red 

receiver to the 1000mAh 2S 7.4V LiPo battery, DC balancing charger and AC adapter, there is 

nothing extra to buy. 

So whether you’re a first-time pilot looking to get started, or an experienced pilot looking for a 

fantastic sport flyer, there’s no better choice and no better value than the Gamma 370 V2!
