WARNING
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Do not charge the flight battery before installing it. Charging will be done later. Before installing the flight
battery, you'll need to make sure that the transmitter
is turned on.
❑
Turn on the transmitter. The needle in the voltage meter should move into the green "safe" area. If it doesn't, replace
the batteries with a fresh set.
Always make sure you turn on the transmitter first, before plugging in and installing the flight battery.
After you're done flying, unplug and remove the flight battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent
unexpected radio signals from interfering with your radio system.

WARNING

✦
✦

The Sport-Bipe EP RTF does not have an on/off switch. When you plug in the flight battery, the
receiver and servos will be powered up.
The motor will not power up until the red arming switch is pressed.
PRO TIP
❑
Remove the plastic battery door on the bottom of the
fuselage by carefully pulling back, then up, on the latch at
the front of the battery door.
❑
With the transmitter on, double-check that the throttle
stick is pulled all the way back toward the bottom of the
transmitter.
❑
Plug the connector on the flight battery into the
connector that is inside the fuselage. When plugged in
properly you should hear the connectors "click" together.

✦
✦
As a safety feature, the connectors can
only be plugged in one way.
❑
Push the flight battery down into its slot between the
pieces of white styrofoam, making sure that it's pushed as
far forward as possible.
❑
Reinstall the battery door, making sure that the latch "snaps" into place.

WARNING
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's important that the flight battery be pushed as far forward as possible. This will ensure that the flight
battery is installed in the correct position, which will make the airplane fly better. If the flight battery is installed too far
back, the airplane could become uncontrollable during flight.
After a crash or hard landing, remove the battery cover and double-check that the flight battery has not moved back. It
should not move back during normal flight.
