Brushless Electric Motor
The electric setup for the Sport is straightforward: a Great
Planes Electrifl y RimFire .32 on a 13 x 8 E prop with a minimum
60A ESC powered by a 4S battery in the 3300 mAh – 4000 mAh
range. A Castle Creations Edge Lite 75 was selected and is
illustrated in the instruction manual because it is compact,
easily programmable and features data logging.
❍
42-50-800 RimFire .32 (GPMG4700)
❍
APC 13 x 8 thin E prop (APCQ3080)
❍
Castle Creations Edge Lite 75 (CSEM1200)
❍

❍
FPWP2404 FlightPower 4S 4000mAh 25C
❍
3/16" heat shrink tubing (GPMM1056)
❍
T-style Star connector (HCAM4001)
If your servos draw more current than the BEC in your ESC
is rated for, one option is to use a voltage regulator with a
higher Amp rating that draws power from the 4S LiPo motor
battery. The Castle Creations 10A BEC is suitable (CSEM0005).
Another option is to use a receiver battery.
LiPo Battery Charger
To charge a 4S 4000mAh LiPo at 1C, a charger capable of
at least 70 Watts is required (4S x 4.2V/cell = 16.8V x 4A =
67 Watts). The Triton EQ2 (GPMM3156) is more than enough
charger with 100W output AC and 120W output DC.

OTHER ACCESSORIES

A Robart Super Stand II (ROBP1402) is also indispensable
for working on your Sport.
A covering iron with a cover sock may be required for tightening
and re-bonding covering to the model that may have loosened
between the time the plane was manufactured and the time
the model was removed from the box. The 21
st
Century iron
is preferred because of its long cord, contoured shoe and
precisely adjustable temperature range:
