Here's What We Used to Finish Our Kwik Fly II ARF:
This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your new
Global Kwik Fly II ARF. These suggestions are not set in stone, but they should provide you with a good starting point.
SECTION 1: OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
What Engine Should I Use?
The Kwik Fly II will fly great on a variety of engines, so which engine you choose really depends on how you want to fly the
airplane and on personal preference. For general sport flying, a .61 two stroke or .80 four stroke would be an ideal choice.
Either of these engines will provide good overall performance and will pull the airplane through most aerobatic maneuvers
with ease. Both engines can be mounted sideways and still use their stock mufflers, although the .61 size two stroke
engine will require the use of a muffler extension so the muffler will clear the bottom of the fuselage.
For all-out aerobatics a .91 two stroke or .91 four stroke would be a great choice. Either of these engines will provide an
excellent power-to-weight ratio, resulting in nearly unlimited vertical performance. Both engines can be mounted sideways
and still use their stock mufflers, although the .91 size two stroke will require the use of a muffler extension so the muffler
will clear the bottom of the fuselage.
What Servos Should I Use?
There really is no reason to go overboard on high-priced, ultra-precision servos. A good, standard, dual ball bearing servo
with a minimum of 40 ounces of torque will work well on the flight-control surfaces and a standard bushing servo will be
good for use on the throttle and the center-flap.
Do I Need To Use the Center-Flap?
The center-flap is optional, so, no, you don't need to use it. If you decide you want to make it functional you will need one
extra standard servo and a 5 channel radio control system to operate it. Hardware is included to hinge the center-flap and
connect it to the servo. If you choose not to use the center-flap, it can be locked into place using the hardware included.
What Else Do I Need?
The Kwik Fly II includes all of the hardware you'll need to finish the airplane. You will need some basic building materials,
such as adhesives, protective foam rubber for your radio gear and fuel tubing. You will also need a couple of 12" servo
extensions and a Y-Harness to connect the two separate aileron servos. We've provided a comprehensive list below of the
