This section lists the tools and accessories you will need to have on-hand to finish the assembly and fly your new 

P-40 Warhawk EP RR. 

The P-40 Warhawk EP RR is receiver-ready. We have designed 
the aircraft to use your own transmitter and receiver, so you 
will need to purchase a 5 or more channel transmitter and 

matching receiver if you don't already have one.
*To  make  flying  and  control  setup  easier,  we  strongly 

suggest that your transmitter feature servo reversing, dual 
rates, servo end-point adjustments (EPA) and servo centreing 
adjustments (CNT). Most higher-end radio control systems, 
such  as  the Airtronics  RDS8000  or  the  Futaba  6EX  have 
these features.
