weight and torque specifications will adversely affect flight
performance and are not recommend. Note: During assembly
when it’s time to mount the servos, you will be instructed to glue
them in. Do not be alarmed as this is a common practice with
this type of lightweight, high-performance model. Should servo
removal ever be necessary for repair, replacement or transfer to
another model this can be done by prying them out with a hobby
knife or a small screwdriver.
The lightest, four-channel receiver is recommended and must
be compatible with whatever servos will be used (not all servos
are compatible with all receivers–even servos and receivers
within the same brand). The Futaba R-114F
Micro
receiver is
recommended and is compatible with the 3108 servos
recommended.Note: Futaba receivers are sold on high and low
bands and come without crystals. Following are the order
numbers for the R-114F receiver and compatible crystals:
Low Band High Band
(Channels 11-35) (Channels 36-60)
R114F Receiver FUTL0442 FUTL0443
Crystal FUTL62** FUTL63**
**Replace the “**” in the order number for the crystals with
the preferred channel number.For example, if you want to fly
on channel 33, order a low band receiver and crystal
number FUTL6233.
The EP Zero ARF requires a 3-cell (11.1V), 1250–1500mAh
lithium-polymer (LiPo) battery capable of providing 7A
continuous discharge current. The ElectriFly
3-cell,
3-Series
1250mAh battery pack is recommended (GPMP0823).
An electronic speed control capable of handling a minimum
of 15A continuous current is required. Additionally, the
speed control should be as light as possible. The ElectriFly
C-25 High-Frequency ESC w/BEC (GPMM2025) is suitable.
A charger capable of charging 3-cell (11.1V) LiPo batteries
such as the ElectriFly PolyCharge 1 to 3-cell LiPo charger
(GPMM3010) must be used. If using another charger, it
must be a LiPo charger or have a LiPo charge mode. Never
charge LiPo batteries with chargers not intended for LiPo
batteries or chargers on NiMH or NiCd settings.
Overcharging or explosion may result. In addition to the
PolyCharge, the ElectriFly Triton
(GPMM3150) or Accu-
Cycle Elite
(HCAP0280) are also suitable chargers.
Many chargers (including the Triton and Accu-Cycle Elite
listed above) do not include charging leads, but rather have
banana jacks to plug the leads into. If this is the case with
your charger, you will need to purchase a charge lead to
match your battery.
Although it is safe to use foam-safe CA, it is not recommended
for assembly of the main fuselage components as it may
wrinkle the lightweight covering and cause the covering to
come loose from the foam. Therefore, epoxy should be used
throughout the building process unless foam-safe CA is
recommended for a particular step.
To complete the EP Zero ARF you will need the following.
4-channel radio with (3) micro servos (0.3 oz [9g] or less
each) (FUTM0042)
Micro receiver (FUTL0442 low band or FUTM0443
high band)
One 6" [153 mm] servo extension (HCAM2000)
One 12" [305 mm] servo extension (HCAM2100)
25 Amp brushed ESC (GPMM2025)
3-cell LiPo or Li-Ion battery pack, 1500mAh (GPMP0831),
640mAh (GPMP0805), or 1250mAh (GPMP0823)
Hobbico
