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.

This is a 

SERIES

 battery

adapter (GPMM3143)
that connects two
batteries in series.

11.1V (3-Cell)

OKAY

7.2V (2-Cell)

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

 battery.

This is a 

PARALLEL

 battery

adapter (GPMM3142) that
connects two batteries in parallel.

11.1V (3-Cell)
GPMP0613

OKAY

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.

Measure the
