Thank you for choosing the Wattage Sporty EP as your next project.  The Sporty EP is a small electric-

powered sport airplane built specifically to be flown in large parks or fields.  The Sporty EP can be assembled
in three different configurations.  If you want a docile Sunday-Flyer, assemble the Sporty EP as a three
channel airplane featuring elevator, rudder and throttle control.  If you want your Sporty EP a little more
"snappy", assemble it with elevator, aileron and throttle control.  If you want to fly your Sporty EP like a
full size aerobat, assemble it with elevator, aileron, throttle and rudder control.  We even offer an
upgraded 370 size motor that will make your Sporty EP even more fun!

Features such as a molded foam fuselage, molded foam wing panels and molded foam flying surfaces

add up to make a lightweight, yet durable structure that is very easy to repair in the event of a mishap.  And
because it is light weight, performance using the included 280 size motor and gear box is excellent.  The
airplane is quite fast, yet is very stable throughout the entire speed range, making it a perfect choice for
both the experienced pilot and for those just graduating from their first or second airplane.

When you open the box, you will notice that you won't have much left to do or to purchase to finish your

new airplane.  In addition to the usual nuts and bolts, the Sporty EP includes a 280 size motor with gear
box, a propeller, threaded wire pushrods with clevises and control horns, a prebent landing gear wire with
plastic lightweight wheels, a plastic molded cowling and a colorful decal sheet.  The kit also includes the
necessary hardware to convert the Sporty EP to aileron control.

We hope you enjoy your new Wattage Sporty EP as much as we have enjoyed designing and building it

for you.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.  We have also included a
product survey in the back of this manual.  After you have finished assembling the Sporty EP, please take
a moment to fill it out and send it to us.  We enjoy hearing any comments or suggestions that you may have.
