SECTION 6: GETTING READY TO FLY YOUR SPORT-BIPE EP RTF
STEP 1: CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
❑
To unplug the connectors, squeeze the tab on the battery connector and pull the two connectors apart.
❑
After completely charging the flight battery, install it into the fuselage, using the same techniques as when you installed
it previously.

WARNING

✦
✦
✦
✦
Always remove the flight battery from the fuselage for the charging process.
❑
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.
PRO TIP
If the flight battery is hot to the
touch, it is fully charged. Unplug
it from the charger immediately.
❑
Until you become a proficient flyer you should always plan on flying your airplane when there's no wind. We
strongly
suggest waiting for a calm day. If it's windy out and you attempt to fly, it will only make learning to fly the airplane more
difficult.
Once you are proficient at flying the airplane, you can fly the airplane in light wind - no more than 10-15
miles per hour. Flying in stronger wind is not recommended.
STEP 2: CHOOSING A DAY TO FLY
❑
Tie the red flag to the end of the transmitter's antenna.
❑
Out at the flying field, before you fly, hold the transmitter
up at an angle. If the flag hangs down, go ahead and fly. If
the flag hangs at a 45º angle or more, don't fly. Wait for a
calmer day.

Before charging the flight battery, the flight battery must be fully discharged. Discharge the flight
battery by running the motor until it stops. This will ensure that you don't overcharge the flight battery.
