Battery Installation and ESC Arming
Battery Selection
We recommend the Spektrum 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po (SPMXB22004S30).
If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 1200mAh 3S or 4S battery.
Be sure to verify the center of gravity is correct with your selected battery before
flying.
Battery Installation
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings.
2. Power on the Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
3. Push the button on top of the fuselage, behind the hatch and remove the
battery hatch.
4. Remove the battery hatch and install the battery all the way to the front of the
battery compartment. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for
more information.
5. Make sure the flight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap.
6. Connect the battery to the ESC and keep the aircraft immobile on the ground
and away from wind for 5 seconds.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 5 of the binding
instructions for more information).
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is connected,
recharge or replace the battery.
7. Reinstall the battery hatch. Push the rear of the battery hatch securely to
ensure the latch is fully engaged.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft receiver
when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to
a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
Keep upright, immobile
and out of the wind for
5 seconds
An aircraft with correct CG has its weight balanced on the center of the aircraft for
safe, stable flight.
Balance the aircraft on your fingertips near the fuselage under the wings. Adjust
the battery position as needed.
- If the nose goes down, move the flight battery back until the aircraft balances.
- If the nose goes up, move the flight battery forward until the aircraft balances.
57-71mm
2-1/4” - 2-3/4” inches back from the
leading edge of the wing at the root.
