SECTION 6: GETTING READY TO FLY YOUR WIND CRAFT RTF R/C KITE-PLANE
STEP 1: CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
❑
To unplug the connectors, squeeze the tab on the battery connector and pull the two connectors apart.
❑
After completely charging the flight battery, install it into the fuselage pod, using the same techniques as when you
installed it previously.

WARNING

✦
✦
✦
✦
Always remove the flight battery from the fuselage pod for the charging process.
❑
Plug the flight battery connector into the battery charger
connector. When plugged in properly the connectors should
"click" together.
As a safety feature, the connectors can only
be plugged in one way.
❑
Plug the charger into a 110V AC wall outlet.
❑
Charge the flight battery for 2.5 hours.
Be careful not
to overcharge the flight battery.
PRO TIP
If the flight battery is hot to the
touch, it is fully charged. Unplug
it from the charger immediately.
❑
Until you become a proficient flyer you should always plan on flying your kite-plane when there's no wind. We
strongly
suggest waiting for a calm day. If it's windy out and you attempt to fly, it will only make learning to fly the kite-plane more
difficult.
Once you are proficient at flying the kite-plane, you can fly the kite-plane in light winds - no more than
5-7 miles per hour. Flying in stronger winds is not recommended.

✦
Before charging the flight battery, the flight battery must be fully discharged. Discharge the flight
battery by running the motors until they stop. This will ensure that you don't overcharge the flight battery.
❑
The flying field you choose should be a large, open field with grass. There should not be any vehicles, buildings, power
lines, trees, large rocks or anything else that your kite-plane can crash into.
