Important ESC and model information
1. Remove the battery hatch.
2. Remove the hook and loop tape from the fuselage.
Apply the looped surface to the battery.
3. Install the battery into the fuselage- securing it with
the preinstalled battery straps.
Note: The weight of each battery may vary due to different
manufacturing techniques. Move the battery fore or aft to
achieve the optimal center of gravity.
The cables from the servo connector board should be
connected to your receiver in the order shown. Note that the
LEDs can be powered by any spare channel on the receiver.
Tuck the wire leads into the recessed cavity towards the rear
of the battery hatch.

1. The ESC included with the model 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 or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several
beeps with the same tune means the ESC has detected the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equals 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 brake switched off and we recommend that the model
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 22.2V 3300MAH 35C Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the
battery must be at least a 22.2V 3300MAH 35C battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimen-
sion and weight as the 22.2V 3300MAH 35C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity
significantly.
