The Mini Mach Racer EP ARF is designed to use a brushless outrunner motor and a 3 cell LiPO battery. For good overall flight
performance, we recommend using the KMS Quantum 2208/09 brushless outrunner motor, the KMS 18 amp brushless electronic speed
control, an APC 6 x 4 propeller, and the Impulse Power 3 Cell 950mAH LiPO battery. It's also important that you used high-quality
connectors, such as X'tra 2mm Gold Plugs.

You will need to use a 4 or more channel transmitter that features elevon mixing, two 9 gram
micro servos and a micro or mini receiver with matching crystal. At a minimum, the transmitter
should also feature dual rates, servo reversing and end-point adjustments.
do not use
short-range micro receivers.
If your transmitter does not feature elevon mixing, you will need to purchase a separate electronic
elevon mixer that is installed in the aircraft.

The covering material used on your aircraft is real iron-on, heat-shrink covering material. It is possible with heat and humidity changes
that the covering material on your aircraft may wrinkle or sag. This trait is inherent in all types of heat-shrink material. To remove any
wrinkles that might be visible you will need to use a heat-sealing covering iron.
Follow this simple procedure to remove the wrinkles:
q
Plug in and turn on the sealing iron to the medium-high temperature setting. Allow the sealing iron to heat up for approximately 5 - 7 minutes.
q
After the sealing iron has reached temperature, lightly apply the sealing iron to the wrinkled section of the covering material. Move
the sealing iron slowly over the wrinkled section until the covering material tightens and the wrinkles disappear.
+
If the color layer smears from any of the seams the temperature of the sealing iron is too hot. Turn the temperature dial down and
wait about 5 minutes for the sealing iron to adjust to the lower temperature. You can remove any excess color streaks using a paper
towel soaked with a small quantity of acetone.

IMPORTANT
The elevon servos will plug separately into your receiver or elevon mixer (if your transmitter does not feature elevon
mixing). The use of a Y-Harness for the elevon servos is not necessary.
