Battery Selection

The Spektrum 2200mAh 14.4V 4S 50C Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S50) is

recommended. The SPMX22003S50 battery may also be used. For maximum

performance with 3 cells, a 13X6.5 electric propeller may be utilized. Refer to the

Optional Parts List for other recommended 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 before ﬂying.

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