View Full Version : New Plane Ideas
Can someone make a COMPLETE list of items needed to fly the Lite Stik, including chargers, specific batteries & receiver, etc. I already have a JR F400 mHz transmitter, though not microgear. Thanks a bunch, I'll get back to y'all. I love this sport! :) :o ;) :confused: :confused: :confused:

Here is what you need to get the Litestick airborne and under control:
1 Litestik kit (includes motor and prop)
1 reciever (the $29 micro from Balsa Products is good for this--make sure you get one for your transmitter--Is your tx 72mHz?)
2 servos (gws or hitech micros about $24-30 each--get the servos for your reciever, ie Futaba, Hitec etc.
1 7 cell nicad or nimh battery pack
1 ESC motor controller
And if you want to recharge the batteries in the plane, get a couple of Deans plugs (the two or three prongs will work) and a small 3 pole switch (can get at radio shack or order from cloud 9)
Battery charger (about $30-100+) I got a cheap one from Hitech that works with nicads but had to get an Astro 110 for the NIMH batteries. Get the good one first if you can and you will be happier in the long run.
Some 24-28 guage wire, a soldering iron, solder and paste (radio shack)
Some 1/64 ply or balsa for the reinforcements around the holes in the wing for the dihedral string
Some 5 minute epoxy or white glue to supplement the glue in the kit.
Now you can buy a kit from GWS that has the 2 servos, the reciever, battery pack and ESC. You save money that way.
Hope this helps
