wing
panels, rudder
and
stabilizer
for damage.
If
you
find
any
damaged
or
missing
par
ts,

About
Motor
Selection
W
e
are recommending either
the
E-flite
Park
400
Brushless
Motor
with
4200Kv
(EFLM1100)
or
the
version
with
3700Kv
(EFLM1105).
The
3700Kv
motor provides plenty
of
power
for
spor
t
and
entr
ylevel
3D
pilots
with
the
ability
to hover
and
climb
ver
tically
using
the stock
6.6:1
gearbox and
12
x
6
propeller
.
This
motor
will
draw
less
current
and
provide
longer
flight duration.
The
4200Kv
motor should only be
used
by
experienced pilots
who
manage
throttle
appropriately
.
This
motor
will
provide
even
better
ver
tical
per
for
mance at
the
expense
of flight
duration due to
the
increased
current
draw
.
It
is
extremely
impor
tant to monitor
gearbox
wear
and
motor temperature when using
the
4200Kv
motor
.
Lack
of proper
throttle
management using
this
motor may
result
in
damage
to
the
motor
,
gearbox,
esc,
and
battery
.
W
arning
An
RC
