sure to check for and to achieve proper polarity before making the
connection.
• After you make the connection successfully, the LED light on the
charger will turn solid red, indicating that charging has begun.
• It will take approximately 30–40 minutes to charge a fully discharged
(not over-discharged) battery. As the battery nears full charge, the LED
light will begin to blink. When the battery is fully charged the LED light
will blink approximately every 20 seconds or will go out entirely.
Note: The Li-Po battery included with your Sukhoi will arrive partially
charged. For this reason the initial charge may only take
15–20 minutes.
Note: You can expect to charge the Li-Po flight battery approximately
15–20 times before it will be necessary to replace the AA batteries
in the charger. Replacing the included batteries with alkaline
batteries will extend the AA battery life.
Note: If LED remains on for longer than 40 minutes while charging and/or
5 seconds after removing the Li-Po flight battery, please replace the
AA batteries in the charger.
Installing the Landing Gear
Installing the Flight Battery
Remove the airplane and landing gear from the box. Slide the landing gear
wire into the slot located on the bottom of the fuselage.
Once the Li-Po battery has been fully charged, it’s ready to be installed in
the airplane.
Install the battery in the airplane by placing it into the slot on the bottom of
the fuselage with the plug facing toward the front of the airplane.
Note: The battery cavity is oversized to allow for the Center of Gravity
adjustment. Start with the battery in the middle of the battery
cavity. Adjust the battery forward or rearward to fine-tune the CG.
