There are numerous different types and combinations of accessories available that will work with your Crazy-8. The
way you want the airplane to fly should ultimately determine the types of accessories you choose. We strongly suggest
using motor, propeller and battery combinations that will produce approximately 120 - 150 watts, using 7 - 10 cells, and
that draws 15 - 30 amps.
●
For good performance, it's important to keep the overall weight down. This can be accomplished by removing the case
from your receiver, using a strong motor that has a good power-to-weight ratio and using NiMH battery packs. Keep in
mind, "lighter is better."
●
Your choice in receivers will have an impact on the mixing capabilities of the airplane. For instance, you will not be
able to have flaperon or spoileron mixing if using a four channel receiver. This is the case with most five channel
receivers, too. In most, but not all instances, you will need to use a 7 or 8 channel receiver if you plan on using the mixing
functions of your transmitter. We've been using a Hitec "Super Slim" 8 channel receiver (with the case removed) in our
Crazy-8 with no problems at all.
