While the white connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connection, if you force them it is possible to make connection with the incorrect polarity potentially causing damage to the battery and/or charger. When the red markings are properly aligned for correct polarity, connecting the white connectors should require only a minimal amount of pressure to achieve the light ‘click’... -

Page 14: Installing The Lipo Flight Battery
Installing the LiPo Flight Battery NOTE: You must ALWAYS turn the transmitter on first, BEFORE connecting/installing the LiPo flight battery. And before proceeding with the following steps, please be sure the transmitter is powered on. After the LiPo battery has been fully charged it’s ready to be installed in the airplane. However, the first step before installing the battery is to connect it to the 3 in 1 control unit. -
Page 15: Control Unit Initialization And Arming
Control Unit Initialization and Arming The Tiger Moth 75 is equipped with a compact and advanced 3 in 1 control unit. The control unit is a lightweight combination of a 2.4GHz receiver, electronic speed control (ESC) and servo. - Page 16 Power the transmitter on and confirm that the ‘POWER’ LED indicator is glowing solid red. Then, connect the LiPo flight battery to the control unit and install it on the airplane. NOTE: If this will be the first flight, or the first flight following repairs, you should center the elevator and rudder (aileron) control trims.
- Page 17 ESC/motor should be armed and respond to control stick inputs accordingly. After confirming the control unit is initialized and the ESC/motor has armed properly your Tiger Moth 75 is ready to fly! However, please review the following sections of this manual BEFORE proceeding with the first flight.

Page 18: Flight Controls And Trimming
Flight Controls and Trimming In the event you are not familiar with the controls of the Tiger Moth 75 please take the time to familiarize yourself with them as follows and before attempting your first flight. The left hand stick on the transmitter controls the throttle. When the left hand stick (also known as the ‘throttle’... - Page 19 IMPORTANT NOTE: As is typical of most ‘3 channel’ models that are equipped with a rudder for primary ‘turning’ control, the right hand stick/‘aileron’ channel is used to control the rudder of the Tiger Moth 75. This helps to ensure an easier transition to controlling ‘4 channel’ models equipped with ailerons later on.
- Page 20 Moving the stick to the left will move the rudder to the left. This will roll/turn the airplane to the left. Moving the stick to the right will move the rudder to the right. This will roll/turn the airplane to the right. NOTE: The rudder may not always travel the same amount to the left and to the right.
