FINAL ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT ESC AND MODEL INFORMATION

1. The ESC included with the P -51 has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to

  the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not

  start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle  

  stick is moved to the low throttle o off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps.

  Several beeps with the same tune means the ESC has detect the cells of the battery.

  The count of the beeps equal the cells of the battery. The motor is now armed and will

  start when the throttle is moved.

2. The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct.

  If for any reason the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, simply reverse two of the

  three motor wires to change the direction of rotation.

3. The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with the brake switched off

  and we recommended that the P -51 be flown with the brake off . However, the brake

  could be accidentally switched on if the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the

  throttle stick is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the throttle stick to full  

  throttle and plug in the motor battery. The motor will beep one time. Move the throttle  

  stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will be  

  switched off.

4.Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 11.1V 2200mAh 25C(180g/6.3oz)

  Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 11.1V 2200mAh 25C

  battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity ,dimension and

  weight as the 11.1V 2200mAh 25C Li-Po battery to fit in the fuselage without changing

  the center of gravity significantly.
