propeller
Choose the propeller that is appropriate for the power system
you are using. If installing the Great Planes 63-62-250kV
RimFire out-runner motor, the propeller choice will depend
on the battery voltage being used. A 9-cell (33.3V) pack will
require a 20 x 10 prop (APCQ2200). A 12-cell (44.4V) pack
will require an 18 x 8 prop (APCQ3010). If installing an O.S.
1.60 FX glow engine, we recommend using a 18 x 6W prop
(APCQ1806). If installing the Fuji-Imvac BT-43 EI-2 engine,
we recommend using a 20 x 8 prop (APCQ2080).

IMpORTANT BUILDINg NOTES
• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Self-tapping screws are designated
by a number and a length. For example,
#6 x 3/4" [19mm].
Machine screws are designated by a
number, threads per inch, and a length.
For example, 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm].
Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) are
designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length. For example, 4-40 x
3/4" [19mm]
• When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it means
that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fit
the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
