Motor & Propeller Recommendations

The Reactor Bipe EP was tested extensively to fi nd the best 
“power package” that offers light weight, long fl ight time, and 
aggressive thrust. Because of the nature of electric motors, 
the correct propeller must be chosen to get the most out 
of the recommended motor without damaging components. 
The order numbers for these are provided below. 

  Great Planes RimFire

 35-36-1200kV Brushless

 

Out-runner Motor (GPMG4620)

  APC 11" x 7" TE Thin Electric Propeller (APCQ4128) 

recommended (draws 34 amps max.)

 

– OR –

  APC 10" x 7" TE Thin Electric Propeller (APCQ4123) 

sport (draws 30 amps max.)

 

– OR –

  APC 10" x 5" TE Thin Electric Propeller (APCQ4120) 

sport (draws 25 amps max.)

Note:  Motors from other manufacturers may work with the 
Reactor Bipe EP. However, the included motor mount adapter is 
designed to work specifi cally with the Great Planes motor listed.

ESC (electronic speed control)

A brushless ESC (electronic speed control) is required for this 
plane. We recommend using the Great Planes Silver Series 
35A Brushless ESC 5V/2A BEC (GPMM1830). Any other ESC 
should be capable of delivering a minimum of 34A continuous.

Battery Pack & Accessories

The Reactor Bipe EP has been tested with 11.1V LiPo packs 
ranging from 1200mAh to 2100mAh. Order numbers are provided 
for packs of this size. The lighter 1200mAh pack is suggested for 
maximum aerobatic performance, while the larger 2100mAh is 
suggested for best fl ight times. If you are planning to use the 
25C 1200mAh battery pack, you cannot use the APC 11" x 7" 
propeller. In this case the 10" x 7" propeller is recommended.

 FlightPower EVO25 LiPo 1200mAh 11.1V 25C Discharge

 Great Planes LiPo 1500mAh 11.1V 20C Discharge

 w/Balance 

(GPMP0617)

Note: Please be aware of the type of battery pack that you 
are choosing for this airplane. The battery pack must be able 
to deliver 30 amps continuously. The ones listed above are 
capable of doing this when they are in a “new condition” 
state. Batteries should be checked periodically using an 
inline “watt meter” for their ability to deliver this current. A 
battery’s maximum continuous current rating can be found 
by multiplying the capacity (mAh rating) by the “C” rating by 
0.001. For example: 1200mAh x 25C x 0.001 = 30 amps

A LiPo-compatible charger is required for these batteries, 
along with a cell balancer. We recommend:

 Great Planes PolyCharge4

 LiPo battery

 charger 

(GPMM3015)

 

– AND –

 Great Planes Equinox

 1-5 cell LiPo cell

 balancer 

(GPMM3160)
