1. Turn the latch (
A
).
2. Lift the back of the battery hatch and pull backwards to remove the
battery hatch.
3. Install the fully charged battery (
B
) in the battery compartment with the end
of the battery against the front wall of the battery compartment. See the
Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
4. Make sure the fl ight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap (
C
)
.
5. Reinstall the battery hatch. Push the rear of the battery hatch securely to
ensure the latch is fully engaged.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver
when not fl ying 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 fi re when batteries
are charged.
Battery Selection
• We recommend the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 3S Li-Po battery (PKZ1029).
• If using another battery, the battery must be at least a
2200mAh 25C battery.
• Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimensions and
weight as the ParkZone Li-Po battery to fi t in the fuselage without changing
the center of gravity a large amount.

ESC and Receiver Arming
Arming the ESCs also occurs after binding as previously described, but
subsequent connection of a fl ight battery requires the steps below.
IMPORTANT:
The ESCs in this aircraft arm together as a single ESC.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
1. Power ON the transmitter and lower the throttle and throttle trim to their
lowest settings.
DO NOT
connect the battery while the throttle stick is at full or the ESCs will go
into programming mode. If a musical tone sounds after 5 seconds,
immediately disconnect the battery, then lower the throttle.
2. Remove the battery hatch and install the fully charged battery in the
battery compartment using the hook and loop strip, then connect the
battery to the ESC Y-harness.
3.
When power is applied to the ESCs:
A) The ESCs will sound 3 tones to indicate the Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC) is set for the connected 3-cell battery pack.
Refer to the LVC portion of the Flying Tips and Repairs section
for more information.
B) An LED will light on the receiver.
