ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED
Battery Chargers
● A LiPo-capable battery charger and a power source for the
battery charger are required. One recommended charger
is the Great Planes
ElectriFly Triton ™ EQ AC/DC Charger
(GPMM3155). The Triton EQ can be powered either by an AC
or DC power source and features a built-in LiPo cell balancer.
● Another suitable LiPo battery charger is the Great Planes
PolyCharge4 ™ DC LiPo charger (GPMM3015). The
PolyCharge4 can charge up to four LiPo batteries at the
same time, but requires separate LiPo cell balancers, so
for each LiPo battery you wish to charge simultaneously
(up to 4), one Great Planes Equinox ™ LiPo Cell Balancer
(GPMM3160) will be required. Additionally, the Equinox
comes with 2S and 3S charge adapters, so a 4S charge
adapter (GPMM3162) must also be purchased separately.
Finally, the PolyCharge4 does not have AC capability, so if
wall-charging from home is a priority, a separate A/C 12-Volt
power source must also be purchased. A suitable power
supply then for the PolyCharge4 is the Great Planes 12V
12A DC power supply (GPMP0901).

covered with Top Flite MonoKote fi lm. Should repairs ever
be required, MonoKote can be patched with additional
MonoKote purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in
six-foot rolls, but some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If
only a small piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch,
perhaps a fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote
is applied with a model airplane covering iron, but in an
emergency a regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote
includes full instructions for application. Following are the
colors used on this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
