on channel 33, order a low band receiver and crystal
number FUTL6233.

The FlatOut Flatana ARF requires a 3-cell (11.1V), 350-
700mAh lithium-polymer (Li-Po) battery capable of providing
7A continuous discharge current.For long flight times and good
performance, we recommend the Electrifly 3-cell, 3-Series
640mAh battery pack (GPMP0805). For minimum weight, at
the expense of some flight time, the ElectriFly 3-cell, 3-Series
350mAh battery pack (GPMP0801) works well.

Note:

The

ElectriFly 700mAh battery is not recommended for this model
as it is not capable of delivering the current required by this
system. For optimum performance battery weight should not
exceed 2.3 oz. [65g].

An electronic speed control capable of handling a minimum
of 7A continuous current is required. Additionally, the speed
control should be as light as possible. The ElectriFly C-10
Micro High-Frequency ESC w/BEC (GPMM2010) is
suitable. If upgrading to the optional brushless motor system
recommended (below), a speed control intended for
brushless motors (a 

brushless speed control) capable of at

least 8A continuous current such as the ElectriFly BL-8
(GPMM2070) must be used.

NEVER use speed

controllers intended for brushed motors on brushless
motors (and vice-versa).

A charger capable of charging 3-cell (11.1V) Li-Po batteries
such as the ElectriFly PolyCharge 1-3-cell Li-Po charger
(GPMM3010) must be used. If using another charger, it 

must

be a Li-Po charger or have a Li-Po charge mode. Never
charge Li-Po batteries with chargers not intended for Li-Po
batters or chargers on NiMH or NiCd settings. Overcharging
or explosion may result. In addition to the PolyCharge, the
ElectriFly Triton

(GPMM3150) or Accu-Cycle

Elite

(HCAP0280) are also suitable chargers.

Many chargers (including the Triton and Accu-Cycle Elite
listed above) do not include charging leads, but rather have
banana jacks to plug the leads into. If this is the case with
your charger, you will need to purchase a charge lead to
match your battery. For the recommended 640mAh pack,
the correct lead is GPMM3105.

Rest assured, the FlatOut Flatana ARF is capable of 3D
flight with the included ElectriFly “stick-mount” motor and
gearbox combination. But for pilots who always insist on
upgrading and don’t mind spending a little extra money, the
ElectriFly Rimfire 22M-1000 brushless motor (GPMG4500)
will provide increased power and flight time while
simultaneously reducing weight. Don’t forget, if upgrading to
a brushless motor, a “brushless” speed controller such as
the ElectriFly BL-8 8-Amp ESC (GPMM2070) 

must

be

used. This kit also includes the firewall and instructions for
mounting a brushless motor.

A propeller is included in this kit, and this propeller offers the
best performance with the included motor system. If you are
upgrading to the RimFire brushless motor, a 9 x 3.8 propeller
is recommended.

Though there may be a few different types of adhesives that
the FlatOut Flatana ARF could be assembled with, we have
had the best success with, and exclusively recommend
foam-safe CA such as 1 oz. Great Planes Foam Safe Thick CA
(GPMR6072). Regular CA is not recommended as it will
aggressively attack the foam used in this model. In addition
to being foam-compatible, foam-safe CA is also suitable for
gluing together all of the rest of the materials (balsa, carbon)
included in this kit. No other adhesive is required to build the
FlatOut Flatana ARF.

In addition to common household tools and hobby tools, this
is the “short list” of the most important items required to build
the FlatOut Flatana ARF.

Great Planes Pro

CA and Epoxy

glue are recommended.

Great Planes Aerosol Activator (GPMR6034)

Hobbico

Drill bits: 1/16" [1.5mm], or 3/32" [2.5mm]

Double-sided foam tape (GPMQ4400)

1/2" [13mm]-wide Cellophane tape

Great Planes Plan Protector
