INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Wattage Egret ARF and welcome to the exciting world of electric-powered R/C
airplanes! Whether you have built and flown other electric R/C airplanes in the past, or if this is your first, you will
appreciate the high quality, ease of assembly and excellent flight characteristics of the Egret ARF.
The Egret is an electric-powered, two channel trainer utilizing balsa and light-ply built up construction
techniques. The wing design uses a flat bottom airfoil that stays very stable throughout the entire flight enve-
lope and also produces good lift. The fuselage pod is built using balsa and light-ply with a composite tail boom.
The empennage is built using lightweight balsa. This adds up to an airplane that is light, able to climb out with
authority, and easy to fly.
When you open the box, you will notice that you won't have much left to do or to purchase to finish your
new airplane. Included is a prewired 380 size motor and gear box already preinstalled in the fuselage. Flying
wires, pushrods, wheels, control horns, propeller and other hardware are all included in the kit. The airframe is
completely built and covered by master craftsmen, who take their time to ensure that every part is straight and
properly glued.
We hope you enjoy your new Wattage Egret ARF as much as we have enjoyed designing and building it for
