       WARNING

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY YOUR BATTERY AND 

CHARGER MANUFACTURER. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN FIRE.

The assembly of the Cessna 170 60E G2 can be accomplished in less than 

one 

hour.

 Prior to assembling the airplane, it is advisable to charge your battery so 

that you are ready to begin setup upon completion of the assembly of your 
model.  

We recommend the use of an advanced Li-Po balancing charger, such as the 
ISDT D2 Dual 100W Multi Chemistry AC/DC balancing charger for your batteries 
to get the maximum performance and lifespan from them. 

Our airplanes are designed around our Potenza LiPo batteries, and we 
recommend the Potenza 6S 5200mAh 40C LiPo in the Cessna 170 60E G2 based 
on our extensive testing and development. These batteries feature an EC5 
connector, so no soldering is required for use in your Cessna 170 60E G2. 

All are available online at www.flexinnovations.com and your local Flex 
Innovations retailer.

Recommended battery – 6S 4200mAh-6200mAh 40C+ Li-Po
