3 E-flite Alpha Sport 450 PNP Assembly Manual
Recommended Radio Equipment
You will need a minimum of a 4-channel transmitter
and receiver. You can choose to purchase a complete
radio system. If you are using an existing transmitter,
just purchase the receiver separately. We recommend
the crystal-free, interference-free Spektrum ™ DX5e
2.4GHz DSM ® 5-channel system.
If you own a Spektrum radio, just add a DSM2 ™
receiver. We show the installation of the AR500
receiver in the manual.

Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries
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. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
disposing of Lithium Polymer batteries.
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.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in the
propeller away from the prop, including loose clothing,
or other objects such as pencils and screwdrivers.
Especially keep your hands away from the propeller.
During the course of building your model, we suggest
that you use a soft base for the building surface.
Such things as a foam stand, large piece of bedding
foam or a thick bath towel will work well and help
protect the model from damage during assembly.
