Airframe Kit
This is an airframe kit. Electronics, receiver, battery, charger, and adhesives are sold separately. The kit includes the printed EPP airframe components, wood and carbon reinforcements, motor mount, control hardware, and linkage components. The downloadable PDF build manual is available below.
Recommended Matched Power System
The PC28 is the recommended 2S power system for the Albatros. It features the 29 g ELAN 2205 2600KV motor and Vertex 16A ESC, with a 2 mm-to-3.5 mm bullet adapter kit to connect the ESC to the motor. Use a 2S 350 to 600 mAh LiPo battery with the GF 5128 three-blade propeller.
Important Initial Setup: The transmitter’s throttle range must be calibrated before the ESC will arm and operate correctly. Always remove the propeller before throttle calibration or checking motor direction. Before flying, verify the center of gravity, control direction, motor rotation, radio range, and all control linkages.
