Battery Installation And Esc Arming - Horizon Hobby PT-17 Instruction Manual

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
We recommend the E-fl ite ® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery
(EFLB22003S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended
batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within
the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-fl ite Li-Po battery packs
to fi t in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Slide the battery hatch (A) to remove.
3. For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape
(B) to the bottom of the battery and the hook side to the battery tray.
4. Remove the battery tray by pulling the fi nger tab (C) toward the tail of the
aircraft.
CAUTION: Always
keep hands away
from the propeller. When
armed, the motor will turn
the propeller in response to
any throttle movement.

5. Install the fully charged battery (D) all the way forward on the battery tray.
Secure using the hook and loop strap (E).
6. Insert the battery tray until it clicks into position.
7. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
8. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind upright and on fl at surface
or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will produce a series of sounds. 3 fl at tones followed
immediately by 2 ascending tones if you are switching ON SAFE Select.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
9. Reinstall the battery hatch.
IMPORTANT: Due to the short nose of the aircraft, for fi rst fl ights place the
battery as far forward as possible. The front strap of the battery tray will be
roughly in the middle of a 3-cell 2200mAh battery.
