Battery Selection
The Spektrum 4000mAh 22.2V 6S 50C Li-Po battery (SPMX40006S50) is recommend-
ed. 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 Li-Po battery pack. Be sure the model balances at the
recommended CG before flying.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter, then wait five seconds.
2. Press the latch button (A) to lift the rear edge of the canopy hatch, then pull the
hatch up and back from the fuselage.
3. Use the included hook and loop straps to secure your battery to the battery tray.
4. Install the battery tray into the battery compartment by aligning the battery tray
hooks into the slots in the base of the battery compartment that best suits your
battery size and weight. The battery compartment has multiple positions to
lock the battery tray into (B) as shown. Once in place, press down on the lock
tab to lock the tray into place. Adjust as needed to acquire proper CG. See the
Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
5. Proceed to the binding section if the receiver is not bound.
6. Connect the battery to the ESC.
7. Power ON the ESC switch (C) located on the left side of the battery
compartment. (The ESC is now armed).
8. Keep the aircraft immobile, away from wind, upright and on a flat surface until
the system initializes.
• The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Six flat tones followed immediately by
two ascending tones.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
9. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
