6. 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.

WARNING:
The fuselage, wheel pants, and canopy hatch
included in this kit are made of fi berglass, the fi bers of which
may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never
blow into a part to remove fi berglass dust, as the dust will
blow back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a
particle mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and
sanding fi berglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the work
area thoroughly after working with fi berglass parts.
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 Cirrus SR22
ARF that may require planning or decision making before
starting to build. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.
Radio Equipment
The Cirrus SR22 ARF requires a minimum 4-channel radio
system with four nano servos such as the ElectriFly ES-50
nano servo. In addition, two 12" [305mm] servo extensions
and a dual servo extension are required for the aileron servos.

Motor Recommendation
The recommended motor for the Cirrus SR22 ARF is a
RimFire
™
.10 (35-30-1250) brushless outrunner motor.
❏
Great Planes RimFire .10 (35-30-1250) Outrunner
Brushless (GPMG4595)
If using the recommended brushless motor, a 35A brushless
ESC is required:

(GPMM1830)
Propeller
If you are installing the recommended RimFire brushless
motor, we suggest a 10x7E APC propeller (APCQ4123).
Batteries and Charger
One 1500-3350mAh 11.1V Lithium Polymer battery pack
is recommended. Using a 2200mAh 11.1V LiPo, our SR22
balanced at the recommended C.G. without the need for
additional ballast.

A suitable charger is also required. The Great Planes

is designed for LiPo packs only. However, it
is able to charge four LiPo packs simultaneously. The Great
Planes Triton2
™
charger will only charge one pack at a time,
but is capable of charging NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, and Pb acid
batteries. Order numbers for both are provided below:

Pilot
If you wish to use the same pilot that is shown in the building
instructions, purchase Williams Brothers 1/8 Pilot Bust Kit
Sportsman (WBRQ1130). This pilot fi gure requires fi nish
sanding and painting, and some additional modifi cation of
the pilot fi gure is described in the building instructions.
