Installing the Flight Battery
Note: Before flying and after the Control Direction Test has
centered control surfaces, please re-bind the aircraft so the
control surfaces are neutral when plugging in the flight
battery.
CAUTION: Install receiver and connect the speed
control into the throttle channel (for PNP) before installing
the flight battery.
1. Install the flight battery in the aircraft.
2. Connect the battery to the ESC.
3. Move the battery in the fuselage, either forward or to the
rear, to adjust the aircraft center of gravity for flight.

4. Secure the flight battery using the hook and loop straps.
5. Make sure wires in the fuselage do not block the canopy
hatch when closing the hatch.
Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) by Moving
the Battery
The CG location is 3.00 inches (76mm) back from leading edge
of the wing at the root +/- 1/4 inch (6.4mm). This CG location has
been determined with the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 25C Li-Po
battery installed in the middle of the battery cavity.
Note: When a nose-heavy (forward) or tail-heavy (rear) condition
is desired, move the battery forward or to the rear.
