ParkZone PKZ4175 - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone
Typhoon ™ 3D Plug-N-Play airplane (PKZ4175). We at
ParkZone are committed to giving you the most enjoy-
able flight experience possible. In order to have a safe
and successful flight, we ask that you do not fly until
you have read these instructions thoroughly.
This airplane comes almost fully assembled in order to
allow you to get in the air quickly. Your Typhoon 3D
Plug-N-Play (PNP) already has the 3-wire servos, a
ParkZone (BL400-15T) brushless motor, and a brushless
ESC installed. The decals have already been applied, as
well. You will only need to add your own battery (a 3S
2100mAh Li-Po or 9-cell 1000mAh Ni-MH are recom-
mended), as well as a receiver and transmitter.
Note: Although the airplane can function with a 4-channel radio system, we
suggest that you use a computer radio system with at least 6 channels so you
can use dual rates and make end-point adjustments. These features will
greatly add to the flying capabilities of the aircraft.
In as little as a few hours, you can be ready for your first
flight with the Typhoon 3D PNP. This means you can
spend your time refining your 3D flying skills, not your
building skills. Your ParkZone Typhoon 3D PNP will allow
you to do such maneuvers as harriers, blenders, hover-
ing, knife edges, and more.
Warning
Although your ParkZone Typhoon 3D PNP comes almost
ready to fly, this aircraft is for experienced RC pilots only
and is not a toy! Misuse of the plane can cause serious
bodily harm and damage to property. Therefore, only an
experienced RC pilot should fly it.

Charging Your Flight Battery
We recommend that you choose either the 9-cell
10.8V Ni-MH battery pack (PKZ1027), or the Thunder
Power 2100mAh 3S Li-Po (THP21003SPL) to power
your Typhoon 3D PNP. If you choose to use a Li-Po
battery, it must be charged with a charger that is
specifically designed to handle Li-Po batteries, such
as the E-flite ™ Celectra ™ 1- to 3-Cell Li-Po Charger
(EFLC3005). Regardless of the battery you choose,
always follow the charger and battery instructions in
order to avoid any damage to the battery, charger,
property or yourself.
Warning
Failure to use the proper charger for a Li-Po battery can
result in serious damage, and if left charging long
enough, will cause a fire. Please use caution when
charging Li-Po batteries.
