❑
Now, test the operation of the motor. Double-check that the throttle control stick is pulled completely back. While
keeping clear of the propeller, press the red motor safety arming switch on the right side of the fuselage once.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
WARNING
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
During the motor test, keep everything clear of the propeller, especially fingers and loose clothing.
❑
While holding the airplane upright in the air
with the
propeller pointing away from you
, push the throttle control
stick completely forward. The propeller will spin at a high rate
of speed.
❑
Continue Ground Operations Testing until the flight battery
no longer has enough power to operate the motor. This should
give you enough time to become familiar with how the Lazy E-Bee's controls operate. Once the flight battery no longer has
enough power to operate the motor, remove the foam battery cover, unplug and remove the flight battery, and turn off
the transmitter.
If the motor
turns on when the throttle
control stick is pulled
completely back, flip the
CH 3 servo reversing
switch on the transmitter,
as shown.
PRO TIP
SECTION 6: GETTING READY TO FLY YOUR LAZY E-BEE RTF
STEP 1: CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
❑
To unplug the connectors, squeeze the tab on the flight battery connector and pull the two connectors apart.
❑
After completely charging the flight battery, install it into the fuselage, using the same techniques as when you installed
it previously.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
WARNING
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Always remove the flight battery from the fuselage for the charging process.
❑
Plug the flight battery connector into the flight battery
charger connector. When plugged in properly the
connectors should "click" together.
As a safety feature, the connectors can only
be plugged in one way.
❑
Plug the flight battery charger into a 110V AC wall outlet.
❑
Charge the flight battery for 2 hours. Be careful not to
overcharge the flight battery and don't leave the flight
battery unattended during the charging process.
PRO TIP
If the flight battery is hot to the
touch, it is fully charged. Unplug
it from the charger immediately.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Before charging the flight battery, the flight battery must be fully discharged. Discharge the flight
battery by running the motor until it stops. This will ensure that you don't overcharge the flight battery.
❑
If the elevator and rudder are not centered, but the trim
tabs on the transmitter are centered, use your fingers to
carefully adjust the bend in the pushrod wire until each
control surface is centered.
