Great Planes Patriot XL Kit - GPMA0450 - Manual (Page 4)

model is able to land at reduced speeds. Full instructions
are included for building the Patriot XL with flaps, but a little
extra craftsmanship and skill (not to mention a little extra
time) will be required.
These additional items are required to build the Patriot
XL with flaps:
❏
(2) Standard servos
❏
(1) Y-harness (HCAM2701 Futaba ® )
❏
(1) 6" [150mm] Servo extension for flaps (HCAM2000
for Futaba)
The Patriot XL may be built with either fixed or retractable
landing gear. Fixed landing gear wires are included with this
kit, so the only additional items required to build the Patriot
XL with fixed gear is (2) 2-1/2" [65mm] wheels, and one 2-
1/4" [58mm] wheel. If installing retracts, the kit may be built
to accommodate Robart #605 HD retracts with 3/6" [4.8mm]
wire struts (ROBQ0005). Note: If installing any other system,
the landing gear rail spacing and/or position may require
modification to accommodate the gear. Whichever retract
system is installed, an additional servo will be required to
operate the air control valve.
These items are required if installing Robart retractable
landing gear:
❏
Robart #605HD 90-degree retracts for main gear (3/16"
[4.8mm] wire struts) (ROBQ0005)
