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.

Rear placement of the battery       

 
Forward placement of the battery
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.

Adjusting Center of Gravity

Note: Always  power on transmitter before connecting battery.
