Battery Selection

We recommend the Spektrum 4000mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery

(SPMX40004S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other suitable

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 packs to ﬁt

in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the

motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

it is turned ON.
