The lighter the battery the better; however, ensure your battery can handle the minimum
current dr
aw. The following have flown this plane well… with the smaller ones offering more
'floatiness', but less flight time vs. longer flight times, but less floatiness:
■
2S ( 350
– 450 mAh 25 to 30C)
■
3S ( 350
– 450 mAh 25 to 30C)
** Note: The Super Honey Hawk _can_fly off one nose battery; however, the best
performance is had with two separate batteries.

■ Straight Wire: 4 (~ 1.5” long, ~ 0.8 to 1.0 mm diameter)
○ Control Horns:
Control horns are provided in the kits; however, ¼" zip ties cut on an angle work great too!
Just make sure that the hole is directly above the hinge line.
