Now, test the operation of the motor. Double-check that the throttle control stick is pulled completely back. While
keeping clear of the propeller, press the red motor safety arming switch of the left side of the fuselage once.
During the motor test keep everything clear of the propeller, especially fingers and loose clothing.
❑
While holding the airplane upright in the air with the
propeller pointing away from you, push the throttle control
stick completely forward. The propeller will spin at a high rate
of speed.
❑
Continue the Ground Operations Testing until the flight
battery no longer has enough power to operate the motor. This
should give you enough time to become familiar with how the
airplane's controls operate. Once the flight battery no longer has enough power to operate the motor, remove the wing,
unplug and remove the flight battery, and turn off the transmitter.

SECTION 6: GETTING READY TO FLY YOUR CESSNA 180 EP RTF
Step 1: Charging the Flight Battery
❑
Plug the flight battery connector into the battery
charger connector. When plugged in properly you should
hear the connectors "click" together.
As a safety feature, the connectors can
only be plugged in one way.
❑
Plug the charger into a 110V AC wall outlet.
❑
Charge the flight battery for 2.5 hours. Be careful
not to overcharge the flight battery.
❑
To unplug the connectors, squeeze the tab on the
battery connector and pull the two connectors apart.
PRO TIP
❑
After completely charging the flight battery, install it into the fuselage, using the same techniques as when you installed
it previously.
Always remove the flight battery from the fuselage for the charging process.
WARNING
PRO TIP
If the motor
turns on when the throttle
control stick is pulled
completely back, flip the
CH 3 servo reversing
switch on the transmitter,
as shown.
❑
The flying field you choose should be a large, open field with grass. There should not be any vehicles, buildings,
power lines, trees, large rocks or anything else that your airplane can crash into.
Step 2: Choosing Your Flying Field
If the flight battery is hot to the
touch, it is fully charged. Unplug
it from the charger immediately.
