Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries

Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly

more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/

Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications.

All manufacturer’s instructions and warnings

must be followed closely. Mishandling of LiPo

batteries can result in fire. Always follow the

manufacturer’s instructions when disposing of

Lithium Polymer batteries.

Charging the Flight Battery

You will want to begin charging your battery so

it is ready once the model is complete. Follow the

instructions included with your charger and battery.
