Super Flying Model SE5a Instruction

SE5a
Model: Super Flying Models SE5A Kit
Part Number: A-SFM8630K
----- INSTRUCTION ADDENDUM – VERY IMPORTANT! -----
Please read this addendum carefully and understand the information in it before attempting to y your SE5A. There
are some important changes (especially the new CG position).
Some changes will help save you money also (motor/ESC recommendation)
Many of these changes are a result of our own test ying so are based on true experience with the model.
--- Equipment Recommendations ---
Electric motor recommendation – We recommend the Quantum II 36 motor. The motor speci ed in the instructions is
way more than is actually needed.
ESC recommendation – If you are using the Quantum II 36 motor only a 40A ESC is necessary. We suggest the Quan-
tum 40A SBEC. The small servos needed are often a little heavy on current so the SBEC version is better. We recom-
mend a 12 x 6" propeller for this motor.
We recommend the Hi-Energy 4 cell 2200mAh 30C Li-Po pack with the above motor/ESC combination or the Hi-Ener-
gy 4 cell 2700mAh 30C for longer duration. The motor will only draw about 28A with the 12 x 6 propeller on full
power, so this will give good duration with good ight performance.
We recommend a .48 - .56 four stroke engine if you are going for GP power and a 12 x 6 propeller. A .60 size is too
much power and torque.
We recommend Newpower XLD09HMB or Quartz QZ102 servos. Both have metal gears (important) and the right
torque. The ailerons in particular need good torque. It is not essential that the rudder has metal gears unless you are
using GP power.
--- Build Changes ---
We suggest putting two 1mm thick washers between the motor mounting plate (left side only) and the bulkhead .
This will give a little right side thrust to counter the torque. The same change is needed for the engine mount if GP
power.
Both the dummy rocker boxes and exhausts need to be xed to the top cover for scale positioning. To remove the
cover for access, you release the catches and lift the back slightly, slide the cover back about 10mm to be able to lift
the front over the dummy radiator. Slide the whole top cover assembly forwards to remove it. Take care not to
damage the dummy exhausts as you do so.
