Building and Operating Instructions - Arcus V-Tail Prop 1400 No. 2593 Radio control system For this model you require a radio control system with at least four channels. We particularly recommend 2.4 GHz systems. The receiving system is powered by the speed controller’s integral BEC system. Before you check the model's working systems, set the control surfaces to neutral from the transmitter (transmitter sticks and trims central).
