Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection We recommend the 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S30). 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 Spektrum Smart Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage.
Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Ball Link IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering. While SAFE is inactive, mechanically center the control surfaces. IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the SAFE system requires sub-trim and trim at 0. After binding a transmitter to the airplanes receiver, set the trims and sub- trims to 0, ensure the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces.
Control Direction Test Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to Transmitter Control Surface operate the aileron, elevator and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the rear command Response when checking the control directions. Elevator 1. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.
