This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your new airplane.  

Please read through this entire section very carefully.  We have provided you with recommendations that, 

if followed, will result in a great flying airplane.  Failure to follow our recommendations may result in a poor 

flying airplane.

 

Multiplex BL480/4G Brushless  Motor

 

 KMS Sentry 40 Amp Brushless ESC

 APC 10 x 7E Composite Propeller

 Impulse Power 3C 2100mAH LiPO Battery

 Pro-Peak Quattro LiPO DC Charger

 Maxx Products 1/8" Propeller Adapter

You will need to use a 4 or more channel transmitter with a 4 or more channel 
standard range mini receiver.  Ideally, the transmitter should feature dual rates and 
servo reversing.  More experienced pilots might also want exponential and mixing 
capabilities.  

Do not use short-range micro receivers.

The servos you use should be the lightest available, yet still have an adequate 
amount of torque.  We suggest using mini servos that weigh no more than 18 grams 

and have a torque rating of no less than 25 ounces per square inch.  The Cirrus CS402BB 18gr mini servos will work well.  These 
servos are lightweight, small and strong, and produce more than enough torque and speed.

All prototype testing on the Apex 3D EP ARF was done using the Multiplex BL480/4G 480 Brushless Motor with Gearbox.  We used 
the 4.4:1 gearbox, APC 10 x 7E propeller, KMS Sentry 40 amp brushless ESC, and Impulse Power 3C 2100mAH LiPO battery.  The 
Apex 3D EP ARF, however, is set up so that both in-line gearbox and Outrunner direct drive motors can easily be used.  These motors 
include the Hacker A30 series, AXI 2814 and 2217, and KMS 2814 Outrunner motor
