Flight Battery Installation, SAFE system and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) Arming
1. Rest the aircraft on its landing gear on a flat surface.
2. Lower the throttle and turn on the throttle hold switch, then power on the
transmitter for at least 5 seconds.
3. Press the latch button (
A
) and remove the canopy.
4. Secure the flight battery (
B
) in the battery compartment using the hook and
loop straps (
C
) so that the aircraft has a balanced Center of Gravity (CG).
5. Connect the flight battery to the aircraft.
TIP:
Connect the battery to the flight controller plug before securing the
battery. Then secure the battery with the hook and loop straps.
Important:
Before flying, refer to the “Verifying Your Aircraft’s Center of Gravity
(CG)” section for details about final battery placement.
6. Replace the canopy.
The aircraft should be on level ground and must be kept immobile while the
SAFE system initializes. If the aircraft does not initialize after about 30 seconds
because of too much movement, disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to
re-initialize the system.
After the SAFE system initializes, the rudder will move back and forth, then
come to neutral to indicate the SAFE system has initialized and is ready to
operate. If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is not a its
lowest position, the ESC will not arm the motor. Reduce throttle to lowest
setting for motor to arm.
IMPORTANT:
SAFE technology is not active until you advance the throttle past
25%. Once it is active, the control surfaces may move on the aircraft. This is
normal. The SAFE technology will remain active until the ESC is turned off.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft
receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become
damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries
are charged.
Keep immobile and
out of the wind for
5 seconds
