E-flite Mini Edge 3D ARF - Manual (Page 6)

Warning
An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious
bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open
areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics)
approved flying sites, following all instructions included with
your radio.
Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile
than alkaline or Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries used in RC
applications. All manufacturer’s instructions and warnings
must be followed closely. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can
result in fire.
Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of your Mini Edge, remove
each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect the
fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage. If
you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the place of
purchase.
Important Information About Motor
Selection
We are recommending either the E-flite™ Park 400
Brushless Motor with 4200Kv (EFLM1100) or the version
with 3700Kv (EFLM1105). The 3700Kv motor provides
plenty of power for sport and entry-level 3D pilots with the
ability to hover and climb vertically using the stock 6.6:1
gearbox and 12 x 6 propeller. This motor will draw less
current and provide longer flight duration. The 4200Kv
motor should only be used by experienced pilots who
manage throttle appropriately. This motor will provide even
better vertical performance at the expense of flight duration
due to the increased current draw. It is extremely important
to monitor gearbox wear and motor temperature when using
the 4200Kv motor. Lack of proper throttle management using
this motor may result in damage to the motor, gearbox, ESC,
and battery.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section.
