Receiver Control Unit, Arming and Motor Control Test
Turn on the transmitter before connecting the
fl ight battery to the aircraft. Binding is done by
connecting the fl ight battery before turning
on the transmitter (see binding instructions
on page 6). Always disconnect and remove
the fl ight battery after use to prevent unsafe
power draining of the Li-Po battery.
Put the throttle stick at the
•
lowest position
Power on the transmitter
•
Connect the fl ight battery to the aircraft
•
When the status LED on the receiver
•
shines solid red, the receiver unit is
initialized and ready for fl ight.
When the throttle stick is in the idle
•
position and throttle trim is in the lowest
position when the fl ight battery is
connected, the ESC/motor will be armed.
CAUTION:
When armed, the motor will turn
the propeller in response to any
throttle movement.
If the status LED continues to fl ash red,
then bind the transmitter to the aircraft per
instructions on page 6.
Note:
The throttle trim must be at the lowest
setting to arm the ESC.
1. Install the fully charged fl ight battery in
the
airplane.
2. Where necessary, apply a strip of hook
fastener to the back of the battery, opposite
the
label.
3. Connect fl ight battery to Spektrum AR6400
plug. Refer to photo below for correct
alignment.
4. Attach fl ight battery to strip of loop fastener
on the bottom of the fuselage.
Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG location is 30–32mm back from
leading edge of the wing at the root. This
CG location has been determined with the
ParkZone 1S 120mAh 3.7V Li-Po battery
installed in the middle of the battery cavity.
Note:
The battery cavity is oversized to allow
for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by
placing the battery in the center of the cavity,
and adjust as necessary.
Installing Flight Battery and Adjusting Center of Gravity
Note:
Always disconnect the Li-Po from
the receiver of the airplane when not
fl ying. Failure to do so will render the
battery unusable.
