CAUTION:
Always keep hands away
from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to
any throttle movement.
Battery Selection
We recommend the Spektrum
™
2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery
(SPMX22003S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended
batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within
the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs
to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Remove canopy
(A)
from the aircraft.
3. Remove the battery tray by pulling the finger tab
(B)
toward the tail of the
aircraft.
4. Install the fully charged battery
(C)
all the way forward on the battery tray.
Secure using the hook and loop strap
(D)
. For added security, apply the loop
side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape (
E
) to the bottom of the battery and
the hook side to the battery tray.
5. Insert the battery tray until it clicks into position.
6. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
7. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind upright and on flat surface
or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will produce a series of sounds. 3 flat tones followed
immediately by 2 ascending tones if you are switching ON SAFE Select.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
8. Reinstall the battery hatch.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the short nose of the aircraft, for first flights place the
battery as far forward as possible. The front strap of the battery tray will be
roughly in the middle of a 3-cell 2200mAh battery.
