Step 5: Installing the Propeller
❑
Carefully install the propeller onto the motor. To
install the propeller correctly, simply push it firmly onto the
motor shaft.
One extra propeller has been included
should you break the original one during landing. We
suggest keeping the extra one with you while you're
flying, just in case.
PRO TIP
Step 6: Installing the Flight Battery
Do not charge the flight battery before installing it. Charging will be done later. Before installing the flight
battery, you'll need to make sure that the transmitter
is turned on.
❑
Turn on the transmitter. The needle in the voltage meter should move into the green "safe" area.
Always make sure you turn on the transmitter first, before plugging in and installing the flight battery.
After you're done flying, unplug and remove the flight battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent
unexpected radio signals from interfering with your radio system.
The Cessna 180 EP RTF does not have an on/off switch. When you plug in the flight battery, the
receiver and servos will be powered up.
The motor will not power up until the red arming switch is pressed.
PRO TIP
❑
With the transmitter on, double-check that the throttle
stick is pulled all the way back toward the bottom of the
transmitter.
❑
Plug the connector on the flight battery into the
connector that is inside the fuselage. When plugged in
properly you should hear the connectors "click".
As a safety feature, the connectors can
only be plugged in one way.
❑
Push the flight battery down against the fuselage floor,
in front of the receiver.
PRO TIP
WARNING
It's important that the flight battery be installed up against the front of the wing opening. This will ensure
that the battery is installed as far forward as possible, which will make the airplane fly better. If the flight battery is
installed too far back, the airplane could become uncontrollable during flight.
After a crash or hard landing, remove the wing and double-check that the flight battery has not moved back. It should not
move back during normal flight.
