back from the leading
edge at the wing root
Battery Selection
We recommend a 14.8V 2200mAh 30C 4S LiPo battery with EC3
™
or IC3
™
connector
for standard operation. If using a different battery, the battery should be of similar
capacity, dimensions and weight to fit in the fuselage. Always be sure the model
balances at the recommended CG with the battery chosen.
1. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting.
2. Power on the transmitter and wait 5 seconds.
3. Lift the canopy to remove it.
4. Install the fully charged battery in the battery compartment as shown.
See the Center of Gravity section of this manual for more information.
5. Secure the flight battery with the hook and loop strap.
6. Connect the ESC to the battery power lead EC3
™
or IC3
™
connector, noting
the correct polarity. The ESC will emit two sets of audible tones in succession
indicating the programming status.
• The first set of tones indicates the number of cells in the connected LiPo
battery pack.
4 rapid tones = 4 cell LiPo battery
• The second set of tones indicates the brake status. One tone indicates brake
“ON” and two tones indicates brake “OFF”.
NOTICE
: Connecting the battery to the ESC with incorrect polarity will damage
the ESC and void the warranty.
7. The ESC is now ready for use.*
8. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
* While additional programming of the ESC is not necessary to operate your aircraft,
programming options are available. Visit
www.horizonhobby.com
for complete
instructions on programming the included ESC.
NOTICE:
Install the battery in the aircraft, but
do not arm the ESC
while
checking the CG. Personal injury may result.
The Center of Gravity (CG) location is measured from the leading edge of the wing
at the root. The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or
backward in the battery compartment.
