Slow Stick ARF Park Flyer, Red

There are extra items you will need to build this RC airplane kit. If you're a beginner this can take you by surprise. So lets go through them.

An RC radio transmitter and receiver. This is going to be the most expensive part of the plane. I bought a Spektrum DX5e transmitter for $50.00 and an OrangeRX receiver for $7.95. They have worked perfectly.

2 servos to operate the rudder and elevator. I used HK15178 10 gram micro servos from Hobby King. They're $1.69 apiece. Sorry, Amazon is far from lowest here, but stay tuned because Amazon doesn't like not being the lowest. I like to keep my money at Amazon when I can.

You will need a flight battery, a battery charger and brushed electronic speed control (ESC).

It isn't absolutely necessary but buying a pair of DuBro Micro EZ Link connectors will save several dollars worth of cussing.

Get yourself a couple of tubes of five or 15 minute epoxy glue, a low temp hot glue gun...Read more

I have been building remote control airplanes for several years and consider myself beyond a beginning builder. The instructions that come with this plane are virtually useless. I find myself staring at the accompanying photographs to try and understand the written instructions. My guess is that the English is a very poor translation from the Japanese. Fortunately the design is simple so with some experience you can eventually figure it out. But assembling the plane with these very poor instructions is very frustrating and takes at least 4 times longer than it should. How much could it have cost to have better English instructions?
