Great Planes RV-4 60 ARF - GPMA1357 - Manual (Page 4)

We have flown the RV-4 ARF extensively on a variety of
motors to find the best performance for this airplane. The
following items proved to power the plane very well, giving
similar performance to the .91 glow engine.
Motor
•
C50-65-450 RimFire ™ brushless out-runner
motor (GPMG4770)
• SS 80 Silver Series 80A ESC (GPMM1860)
• (4) 3 x 8mm Machine screws
• (4) 3mm Washers
Motor Mount
•
Brushless Motor Mount (large, GPMG1260)
Prop
•
APC 16x8E or 16x6 standard prop for a glow engine
Battery
We tested this plane with LiPo and NiMH batteries. The LiPo
batteries provided slightly longer flight times and weighed
less than the NiMH batteries.
• 6S1P 3200mAh LiPo battery (2) ElectriFly ™ 3200mAh
11.1V batteries, GPMP0623)
• One Series Adapter, (2) Deans males (GPMM3143)
or
•
12 volt (10-cell) 3600 NiMH battery with flat Deans
Connectors (GPMP0363)
We recommend the Great Planes ElectriFly PolyCharge 4 ™
LiPo charger (GPMM3015) for LiPo batteries and the Triton ™
Peak Charger (GPMM3150) for NiMH batteries.
