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 Sopwith Pup
that may require planning or decision making before starting to
build. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.
Motor, Battery and ESC
Recommendations
The ElectriFly Sopwith Pup was designed to fl y with a
RimFire
250 (28-13-1750kV) Outrunner Motor
(GPMG4502)

7.4V (2S) 300mAh ElectriFly
Power
Series
LiPo Battery
(GPMP0594) or a
7.4V (2S) 300mAh
ElectriFly
Competition BP
LiPo Battery
(GPMP0700). The
Power Series battery will allow the Pup to fl y longer, but the
Competition BP is lighter weight and will provide more power.

(electronic speed
control) is also required (GPMM1800).
