E-flite Aeronca Champ 15e ARF Assembly Manual
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make
assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks
between each major section. In addition, check boxes
have been placed next to each step to keep track
of its completion. Steps with a single circle (
) are
performed once, while steps with two circles (
)
indicate the step will require repeating, such as for a
right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.

Recommended Radio Equipment
You will need a minimum 4-channel transmitter,
receiver and four servos. You can choose to purchase
a complete radio system. If you are using an
existing transmitter, just purchase the other required
equipment separately. We recommend the crystal-
free, interference-free Spektrum
™
DX6i 2.4GHz DSM
®
6-channel system. If using your own transmitter, we
recommend the following radio equipment.
If you own the Spektrum DX6i radio, or you are using
a different DSM2 radio, just add the AR6200 DSM2
™
6-channel receiver and four JR SPORT
™
MC35 servos.
