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.

          For replacement prop, use APCQ5015.
          Uses a 3mm prop adapter GPMQ4600

NOTE: *The S3108 servo will not work because the mounting holes will not
         line up correctly.
