COMMENTS: The threaded prop adapter included with the Yardstik was designed
for use with the optional APC propellers mentioned in the
instruction manual. The kit-supplied Great Planes prop (black) has
a slightly thicker hub than the APC props. When installing the
Great Planes prop, please omit the aluminum prop washer-securing
the prop on the threaded shaft with the prop nut only. This method
is perfectly acceptable. If mounting an APC prop, please use the
included aluminum prop washer between the prop and the prop nut.
Only one receiver is required depending on the channel of the
radio selected (Low band Ch 11-35, High band Ch 36-60). Please note
the Accessory Completion Guide lists both Low and High band
receivers. Channel selection is left to the modeler's preference.
NOTE: *The S3108 servo will not work because the mounting holes will not
line up correctly.
