We have tested all of these items with the airplane and found that theseproducts will offer the best in performance, reliability and economy.OUR RECOMMENDATIONSThe Mini-Max EP will require a minimum 3 channel radio control system with two micro servos and a micro or minireceiver. The radio system we recommend using is the Hitec Focus 3 FM radio with a Hitec Micro 555 receiver and twoHS-55 Micro servos. The Hitec Focus 3 AM system with a Hitec HAS-3MB receiver will also work well. In this casethough, you will need to purchase two after-market micro servos - either Cirrus CS-21 Sub-Mirco servos (P/N 444227),Hitec HS-55 Micro servos (P/N 759257) or Cirrus CS-10 Super-Micro servos (P/N 444052).If you want to purchase a radio system that will be more upgradeable in the future, the four channel Hitec Flash 4XGwould be a good choice. This radio includes a Hitec Micro 555 receiver; however, you will need to purchase two after-market micro servos - either Cirrus CS-21 Sub-Mirco servos (P/N 444227), Hitec HS-55 Micro servos (P/N 759257) orCirrus CS-10 Super-Micro servos (P/N 444052).If you already have a standard sized radio system, you will need to purchase an after-market mini or micro receiver andtwo micro servos. If you need to purchase these items we recommend using the Hitec Micro 555 receiver (P/N 759118)and either two Cirrus CS-21 Sub-Mirco servos (P/N 444227), Hitec HS-55 Micro servos (P/N 759257) or Cirrus CS-10Super-Micro servos (P/N 444052).RADIO CONTROL SYSTEMContinued on Next Page
