PREPARE FOR FLIGHT
❏
1. Remove the cowl top by grasping it through one of the
front cooling holes and lifting up.
❏
2. With your battery fully charged, slide it into the battery
compartment as far as it will go. Secure the battery with the
hook and loop strap attached to the battery compartment.
Do not yet plug the battery into the ESC!
❏
3. Turn on your transmitter. Move the throttle stick to the
middle position (50% of stick travel). Each and every time
before you plug your fl ight battery into the ESC you must be
sure that the propeller is free of anything that could interfere
with its rotation and is pointed in a safe direction. Note: If you
are using a Futaba radio, move your throttle channel servo
reversing switch to the REVERSE position.
❏
4. Being careful to keep your hands clear of the propeller
arc, plug the battery into the ESC. Reinstall the cowl top onto
the fuselage and confi rm that it is securely clipped into place.
Check the Control Directions
As described in the previous section, your throttle stick should
still be in the middle position. When checking the control
directions, keep the throttle stick in this position to avoid
arming the ESC until you are ready to operate the motor.
❏
1. Viewing the model from behind, move the rudder stick
to the right. The rudder should move to the right as shown. If
it does not, change the position of the rudder channel servo
reversing switch.
