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.
