F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m BNF Basic

Battery Selection

We recommend the Spektrum™ 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (SP-

MX22004S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batter-

ies. 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.

1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the

Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

2. Carefully lift the back of the canopy hatch (A) to remove.

3. For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and

loop tape (B) to the bottom of your battery, and the hook side to the battery

tray.

4. Install the fully charged battery (C) all the way to the front of the battery

compartmant as shown. Secure using the hook and loop straps (D).

5. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).

6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not

initialize.

• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to the binding instructions for

more information).

• An LED will light on the receiver.

If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the ﬂight battery is

connected, recharge or replace the battery.

7. Reinstall the canopy hatch.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. After

initialization, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any

throttle movement.
