Section One: Recommended Equipment (sold separately)
The KIT version of the Sky Scout only includes the airframe, associated hardware, along with the prop and spinner assembly. The following additional
parts and equipment are needed to complete the assembly. Visit a Radio Control Hobby shop or consult an experienced flier about purchasing the right
equipment for your needs.
1. 3-4 Channel Aircraft Radio
The Sky Scout requires at least a 3-channel radio to fly. Adding the
optional ailerons requires a 4th channel, though a 5 or higher channel
radio with mixing features will allow for additional flight performance.
We recommend Hitec models such as the Optic 5 or Optic 6 Sport for
optimal operational performance
2. Receiver
We recommend at least a 5 channel aircraft receiver that matches your
radio system for maximum flexibility. Models such as the Hitec Minima
6T or 6S will fit this need if you are using a Hitec brand 2.4 GHz Radio.
3. Servos
You will need at least two Sub Micro servos to complete your model. If
you choose to add the optional ailerons you will need an additional two
sub-micro servos. Hitec recommends using the HS-55 or HS-5055MG
on all surfaces. These servos are available at most Radio Control
Hobby stores.
4. Motor
You will need a brushless outrunner motor designed for aircraft use.
We recommend the minimum of a 200-watt 1100Kv motor. The motor
dimensions need to be no more than 28mm in diameter and 28mm in
length. To avoid having to use a special adapter make sure the output
shaft is either 3 or 3.2 mm in diameter. The Sky Scout Kit contains Prop
adapters in both of these sizes.
5. ESC
You will also need an Electronic Speed Control with built in BEC that is
suitable for the motor you purchased. Hitec recommends using an ESC
with a minimum rating of an 18A and a BEC output of at least 1.5 amps
6. Battery & Charger
For optimal performance Hitec recommends a 3-cell 11.1V 1300mAh
LiPo battery with at least a 15C discharge rating. You will also need a
charger capable of charging this battery as well. tions you are using.
