As a safety measure we recommend connecting
the flight battery shortly before each flight as
follows:
-
Switch on the transmitter. The throttle stick
has to be in the lowest position (throttle off)
-
Attach the battery connector to the flight
controller connector and note the shape of
the plug which will only fit in one direction.
The flight controller's connector and battery
connector should clip firmly together.
-
Keep clear of propeller rotation.
-
The servo may give a short twitch without
the stick being moved, this is not an
indication of any interference.
-
Put the cockpit cover on.
