We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
Remember:
Take your time and follow the instructions
to end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED
This is a partial list of items required to fi nish the EP Falcon
that are illustrated in the instruction manual. Order numbers
are provided in parentheses.
Radio Equipment
❍
4-channel radio control system
❍
Three micro servos such as ElectriFly
®
ES40 Pico
servos (GPMM1200)
❍
Mini/micro receiver (Futaba
®
R6004FF – FUTL7624)
❍
Futaba AEC-27 J-series servo extension (for aileron
servo—FUTM3909)
Motor, Battery, ESC
❍
Great Planes RimFire
™
250 Outrunner motor
(GPMG4502)
❍
Great Planes ElectriFly 2S (7.4V) 300mAh 20C
Competition BP LiPo battery (GPMP0700)
❍
Great Planes ElectriFly SS-8 8 Amp Brushless ESC
(electronic speed control) (GPMM1800)
❍
APC 8 x 3.8 Slo-Flyer electric propeller (APCQ5000)
(At least one spare propeller in your fl ight box is also
recommended.)
It is also highly recommended that you stock up on spare
propeller saver O-rings (GPMG1405).
Battery Charging Equipment
A LiPo-capable battery charger and a power source for the
battery charger is required. Virtually all suitable battery
chargers can be powered by a 12V battery, but it is more
convenient to use a charger that can be connected
either
to a 12V battery (for charging at the fl ying fi eld)
or
to a 110V
wall outlet (for charging at home). One suitable LiPo charger
is the Great Planes ElectriFly Triton EQ
™
AC/DC Charger
(GPMM3155). And in addition to its LiPo capability, the Triton
EQ also features one more critical component, which is a
built-in LiPo cell balancer. For the best LiPo performance,
longevity and safety, a LiPo cell balancer
must
be used so
each individual cell in the LiPo battery can be charged evenly.
Another suitable LiPo battery charger is the Great Planes
PolyCharge4
™
DC LiPo charger (GPMM3015). The advantage
of the PolyCharge4 is that it can charge up to four LiPo batteries
at the same time. But unlike the Triton EQ, the PolyCharge4
does not
have an internal LiPo cell balancer, so for each LiPo
battery you wish to charge simultaneously (up to 4), one Great
Planes Equinox
™
LiPo Cell Balancer (GPMM3160) will be
required. Finally, the PolyCharge4 does not have AC capability,
so if wall-charging from home is a priority a separate A/C 12-
Volt power source must be purchased separately. A suitable
power supply then for the PolyCharge4 is the Great Planes
12V 12A DC power supply (GPMP0901).
Adhesives and Building Supplies
Other than common hobby tools, this is the list of Adhesives
and Building Supplies that were used to fi nish the EP Falcon.
❍
Thin, foam-safe CA (HOTR1040)
❍
CA applicator tips (GPMR6033)
❍
CA accelerator (GPMR6035)
❍
Great Planes Pro
™
Threadlocker (GPMR6060)
❍
Optional:
Clear or white RTV silicone adhesive or
J&Z R/C 56 Canopy Glue (JOZR5007)
KIT INSPECTION
Carefully remove the major parts from the kit. Take an inventory
to make sure it is complete, and inspect the parts to make
sure they are of acceptable quality. If any parts are damaged
or missing or are not of acceptable quality, or if you need
assistance with assembly, contact
