Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep
after the fl ight battery is connected, recharge or
replace the battery.
If you accidentally connect the battery while
the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will
sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect the battery
immediately.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Installing the Flight Battery
1. Remove the canopy by gripping near the rear
and pulling up, then back to disengage the
canopy’s front tab from the fuselage.
2. Place the flight battery in the battery
compartment. Slide the battery into the battery
cavity (A) towards the front of the fuselage.
See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity
instructions for the battery’s position.
3. Connect the fully charged flight battery to
the ESC connector. See the Arming the ESC
instructions for correct connection of the
battery to the ESC.
4. Replace the canopy on the fuselage.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the ESC when not fl ying to eliminate
power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have
an arming switch, and will respond to any
transmitter input when a signal is present.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the ESC when not fl ying to avoid
over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged
to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage
may become damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential fi re when
batteries are charged.
