These are two 3200mAh batteries (one 11.1V
and the other 7.4V). When joined in
SERIES
,
the result will be an 18.5V, 3200mAh battery.
It’s okay to connect batteries with different voltages in
series to achieve the new, desired voltage.

2. Connecting batteries in
“Parallel”
means to connect the +’s
to the +’s and the -’s to the -’s. This combines the battery’s
capacities, but the Voltage remains the same.
These two 1500mAh batteries (both 11.1V) are
being joined in
PARALLEL
. The result will be
one
11.1V, 3000mAh

NEVER connect battery packs with different Voltages in
Parallel–only combine in Series. Otherwise, the batteries
will try to “equalize” with the larger one trying to “charge” the
smaller one, thus causing heat and likely a fi re.
Also NEVER connect battery packs with different capacities
in Series or in Parallel.
Check the Control Directions
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws
that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any
of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to
those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained
centered. Adjust if necessary.
Set the Control Throws
To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your Escapade
according to the control throws specifi ed in this manual.
The throws have been determined through actual fl ight
testing and accurate record-keeping, allowing the model to
perform in the manner in which it was intended. If, after you
have become accustomed to the way the Escapade fl ies,
you would like to change the throws to suit your taste, that
is fi ne. However, too much control throw could make the
model too responsive and diffi cult to control, so remember,
“more is not always better.”

1. Use a box or something similar to prop up the bottom of
the fuselage so the horizontal stabilizer and wing will be level.
