BUILDING EQUIPMENT

The following items are required to complete assembly:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver (HCAR1024)
• Long-nose pliers (HCAR0625)
• Hobby knife (HCAR0109)
• 3mm Hex wrench (for prop)

ASSEMBLY

Carefully remove the various components from the package.
Be sure to inspect all pieces to verify that there is no damage.

Charge the Batteries

Refer to your charger's manual for proper charging
information for the motor batteries.
You will need to refer to the radio system manual for proper
charging information for the receiver and transmitter.
Generally transmitter and receiver batteries are shipped
with a partial or "residual" charge. This will probably be
enough of a charge to set-up your airplane, but you will need
to give them a full charge before attempting to fly (usually an
overnight charge).
This would be a good time to charge the motor batteries as
well as the NiCd battery packs that power your transmitter
and receiver (the radio system).
While the batteries are charging, feel free to continue to
