Install the battery in to the battery compartment all
the way towards the front on the aircraft and hold in place
using the Velcro straps.

It is easiest to balance the aircraft with it inverted.
The model should balance around 40mm back from the
leading edge of the wing. If it does not then the battery
can be moved forward or backwards to adjust the balance.
In some instances you may need to use a small amount
of additional weight fixed in to the cowling to achieve the
correct C of G.
10. Battery Charging.
a. Connect the charger to a 12 volt power source.
b. Connect the battery to the charger using the short lead. Insure this is connected the correct way
around.

when the battery is fully charged.
