Radio Equipment:

Transmitter...  We used a HiTEC 4-channel transmitter.  Although the Sig Jenny only needs three channels for operation, a four 
channel or more transmitter will work fine when used in conjunction with an ultra light receiver and servos, as explained below.  We
do not recommend that you buy a new 3-channel transmitter just for the Jenny.  If you need to buy a new transmitter, we recommend
that you buy one with four or more channels, that will allow you to fly more advanced models in the future.

Airborne Radio Components... We used the HiTEC FEATHER PACK, which is a package offered by HiTECH of ultra light airborne
components for small electric models like the Jenny.  Other radio companies may offer a similar package of light weight airborne 
components.  The HiTEC FEATHER PACK includes a FEATHER-4 ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT 4-CHANNEL RECEIVER, Two 
HS-55 FEATHER SERVOS and a MICRO SWITCH HARNESS.  There are a number of other small receivers and servos on the 
market that can be substituted with equally good results.  Select components that have specifications similar to the HiTEC equipment
listed.  Watch the weight of components carefully as using heavier than recommended equipment will have a detrimental effect on the
flight performance of your Sig Jenny.

Electronic Speed Control... We used a MAXX PRODUCTS MX-9104 MICRO ELECTRIC SPEED CONTROLLER.  Other 
electronic speed controllers may be used as long as the have a minimum rating of 5 amps.

Batteries:

The transmitter can either have alkaline or rechargeable NiCad batteries.  Use the batteries recommended by the manufacturer of the
transmitter.

The airborne battery powers both the electric motor and the airborne radio components.  The recommended battery is a 6-cell (AAA)
720 mAh  NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable pack.  This pack is matched to the models power system and performance.  When
properly charged and with proper throttle management, this battery pack can provide flights in excess of 15 minutes.
