10. Charging the Flight Battery
The flight battery is charged with the remote control transmitter.
For this, lift the flap (1) of the charge cable chute (also see figure 2, item 8) on the
right and fold the lid open to the left.
Remove the charge cable (2) and connect the flight battery (3) to the plug connector
protected against polarity reversal (4). For easier orientation, the plugs at the
charge cable and the flight battery have one round colour mark (5) each.
Once the flight battery was connected to the charge cable, the yellow charge
control lamp will light up (see figure 2, item 2) and signal charging.
When the charge control lamp goes out, charging is completed and the battery
can be disconnected from the charge cable.
After charging, put the charge cable back in the charge cable chute and close
the lid.
The transmitter does not have to be switched on for charging. If the
transmitter batteries grow too weak for proper charging, the charge
control lamp will grow dimmer.
If the transmitter is switch on during charging, an acoustic warning
will sound every second if the batteries are too weak for proper
transmitter power supply.
Charging duration depends on the remaining charge of the flight
battery and the quality or residual capacity of the transmitter batteries
used; it may therefore vary strongly.
Important!
Place the flight battery on a fire-proof underground when charging
and do not charge the flight battery unsupervised!
Charge the flight battery only via the transmitter. Never try charging
the flight battery with NiCd- or NiMH-chargers!
11. Mounting the Landing Gear
The landing gear wire (1) is inserted into the prepared landing gear shaft (2)
located right behind the battery compartment (3).
Since the wire is very tense in the shaft, additional securing is not required.
If the model is used on a meadow with very tall grass, remove the
chassis before the start. The wheels may get caught in the high
grass when landing. In this case, start your model from the hand.
If the underground is firm, the model can be started and landed using
the landing gear.
