Installing the Flight Battery

Note: Before flying and after the Control Direction Test has

centered control surfaces, please re-bind the aircraft so the

control surfaces are neutral when plugging in the flight

battery.

CAUTION: Install receiver and connect the speed

control into the throttle channel (for PNP) before installing

the flight battery.

1. Install the flight battery in the aircraft.

2. Connect the battery to the ESC.

3. Move the battery in the fuselage, either forward or to the

rear, to adjust the aircraft center of gravity for flight.

Rear placement of the battery
4. Secure the flight battery using the hook and loop straps.

5. Make sure wires in the fuselage do not block the canopy

hatch when closing the hatch.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) by Moving

the Battery

The CG location is 2.75 inches (70mm) back from leading edge

of the wing at the root +/- 1/4 inch (6.4mm). This CG location has

been determined with the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 25C Li-Po
battery installed in the battery cavity.
Note: When a nose-heavy (forward) or tail-heavy (rear) condition

is desired, move the battery forward or to the rear.
