 We recommend the 14.8V 2600mAh 25C  Li-Po 

    battery. If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 14.8V 2600mAh 25C 
    battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity ,dimension and 
    weight as the 14.8V 2600mAh 25C Li-Po battery to fit in the fuselage without changing 
    the center of gravity significantly.

. The specification of the model list as fellow:  

The ESC included with the 

Sbach 342 

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 

 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.

 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.

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

    and we recommended that the

 Sbach 342

 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 

Move the throttle 

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