Step 2

Charging the Aircraft Battery

The included charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate 

charge for the 3.7V 70mAh battery pack every time. It also protects 

the battery from being over-charged, which can damage the battery 

pack. The charger sequence begins with charging at constant current, 

then later switches to constant voltage. 

To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:

. Install four of the included AA batteries in the charger base, 

noting proper polarity.

2. Slide the battery into the charge slot on the display stand.

3.  Gently press the battery into the charging jack in the bottom  

of the slot. The LED light on the base will turn solid red.

4. The battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes when nearly 

depleted.

5. As the battery nears fully charged, the LED will begin to blink.  

When fully charged, the LED will blink once every 20 seconds.

6. You can expect to be able to charge the flight battery about  

5–20 times before it will become necessary to replace the  

4 AA batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will extend the 

AA battery life.

Step 3

Motor Test

. Make sure the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Plug the flight battery into the white lead in the fuselage. This 

must be done carefully to avoid accidentally reversing the 

polarity and causing damage to the ESC and battery.

4. Secure the flight battery by gently pressing the battery pack 

against the hook and loop material on the underside of the 

fuselage.

5. Advance the throttle forward and the propeller should spin at a 

high speed. (

CAUTION:

 Make sure that you keep everything 

away from the propeller at all times.) 

6. When finished with the motor test, continue to  

Flight Control Test on the next page.

7. You may notice there is quite a bit of down  

thrust when looking at the prop/prop shaft.  

This is intentional and is not a sign 

 of damage.

Adult Supervision Required

Warning:

 Keep everything clear  

of the propeller and hold the  

plane securely. A moving  

propeller can cause severe injury.
