(Note: Both of the above referenced batteries are
required and should be connected in series. One
18.5V pack will NOT work because it will not fit
into the battery compartment.)
• Great Planes Series Deans
®
U 2 to 1 adapter
(GPMM3143)
• Great Planes Velcro
®
Hook & Loop 1 x 6" (2)
(GPMQ4480)

Balancer 2–5 cell (GPMM3160)
A charger compatible with LiPo batteries such as:
• Great Planes PolyCharge4
™
DC 4 Output LiPo
Charger (GPMM3015)
(Note: Since the Great Planes PolyCharge4
charger is capable of charging four LiPo battery
packs simultaneously, it is recommended to
purchase an Equinox cell balancer for each
battery pack in order to minimize charge times
between flights.)
• APC 16 x 8 Thin Electric Propeller (APCQ4015)
SCALE COMPETITION
Though the Top Flite Cessna 182 ARF may not have
the same level of detail as an “all-out” scratch-built
competition model, it is a scale model nonetheless
and is therefore eligible to compete in the Fun Scale
class in AMA competition (we receive many favorable
reports of Top Flite models in scale competition!). To
receive the five points for scale documentation, the only
proof required that a full size aircraft of this type in your
paint/markings scheme did exist is a single sheet such
as a kit box cover from a plastic model, a photo, or a
profile painting, etc. If the photo is in black and white
other written documentation of color must be provided.
Contact the AMA for a rule book with full details.
If you would like photos of the full-size Cessna 182
for scale documentation, or if you would like to study
the photos to add more scale details, photo packs are
available from:
