Skysprite instruction manual
An optional Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Airplane Battery is avail-
able from your dealer. This battery is lighter and more powerful
than the standard Airplane Battery. When powered by the LiPo
Airplane Battery, Skysprite will fly faster and glide farther.
Skysprite will also fly longer—up to 10 minutes on a charge.

Charging the LiPo Airplane Battery
Important
Adult supervision is required to charge and use the
LiPo Airplane Battery and Charger.
Charge the LiPo Airplane Battery
ONLY
with the sup-
plied LiPo Charger.
DO NOT
charge the LiPo Airplane Battery with the
Transmitter.
DO NOT
charge the standard NiMH Airplane Battery
with the LiPo Charger.
ALWAYS
remove and disconnect the LiPo Airplane
Battery after flying.
a. Plug the LiPo Airplane Battery into the LiPo Charger.
b. Plug the LiPo Charger into a 110VAC power outlet.
c. Charge the LiPo Airplane Battery for 2 hours.
Note:
Charging longer than 2 hours will not harm the
Battery. The Charger has a built-in protection device that
prevents overcharging.
d. When charging is complete, unplug the Charger from the
power outlet, then unplug the LiPo Airplane Battery from
the Charger.
Using the LiPo Airplane Battery
a. Install the LiPo Airplane Battery in Skysprite (see steps 5
through 9 in “Charge and install the Airplane Battery,” ear-
lier in this manual).
b. Because the LiPo Airplane Battery is lighter, Skysprite may
climb too fast. Bend the elevator trim tabs down about
1/32" (about the thickness of a credit card). If Skysprite
still climbs too quickly, bend the tabs down a little more.
c. As with the standard Airplane Battery, you must disconnect
and remove the LiPo Airplane Battery after flying. If you
forget and leave it plugged in for a long time, the battery
may not recharge.
