transmitter and repeat the process. If you still cannot complete the

Step 2
Charging the Aircraft Battery
The included charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate
charge for the 3.7V 70mAh battery pack every time. It also protects
the battery from being overcharged, which can damage the battery
pack. The charger sequence begins with charging at constant current,
then later switches to constant voltage.
To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:
1. Remove the cover and install four of the included AA batteries in
the charger base, noting proper polarity. Replace the cover when
done.
2. Slide the battery into the charge slot on the display stand.
3. Gently press the battery
into the charging jack in the
bottom of the slot, with the
battery label facing outward.
It is very important to note
proper polarity to avoid
damaging the battery. The
LED light on the base will turn
solid red.
4. The battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes when
nearly depleted.
5. As the battery nears full charge, the LED will begin to blink. When
fully charged, the LED will blink once every 20 seconds.
6. You can expect to be able to charge the flight battery about
15–20 times before it will become necessary to replace the 4
AA batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will extend the AA
battery life.
Step 3
Motor Test
1. Make sure the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Plug the flight battery into the white lead in the fuselage. This
must be done carefully to avoid accidentally reversing the
polarity and causing damage to the ESC and battery.
4. Secure the flight battery. Gently press the battery pack against
the hook and loop material on the underside of the fuselage.
5. Advance the throttle forward and the propeller should spin at
a high speed. (
CAUTION:
Make sure that you keep everything
away from the propeller at all times.)
6. When finished with the motor test, continue to Flight Control Test
on the next page.
7. You may notice there is some down thrust when looking at the
prop/prop shaft. This is intentional and is not a sign of damage.
Adult Supervision Required
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller and hold the plane
securely. A moving propeller can cause severe injury.
