Battery Charging
See the Battery Warning and Guidelines section and familiarize yourself
thoroughly with it before continuing. Follow these steps to charge the Li-Po
battery with the included charger.
Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install four of the included AA
batteries, noting proper polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are installed.
Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap of the battery is
specifically designed to allow the battery to be slid into the slot easily one way
(usually with the label on the battery facing outward) to prevent reverse polarity
connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding
to the next step.
Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector located
at the bottom of the slot in the charger.
Note: The hook and loop on the battery will cause it to be tight in the battery
slot of the charger.
When you make the connection successfully, the LED light on the charger turns
solid red, indicating charging has begun.
Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 150mAh battery takes
approximately 30–40 minutes. As the battery nears full charge, the LED
light begins to blink. When the battery is fully charged, the LED light blinks
approximately every 20 seconds or goes out entirely.
Note: The Li-Po battery included with your Champ arrives partially charged, so
the initial charge may only take 15–20 minutes.
Note: You can expect to charge the Li-Po flight battery approximately 10–15
times before needing to replace the AA batteries in the charger. Replacing
the included batteries with alkaline batteries results in more charge
cycles than with the included batteries.
Note: If the LED remains on for longer than 40 minutes while charging and/or 5
seconds after removing the Li-Po flight battery, replace the AA batteries
in the charger.
Removing and Installing the Landing Gear
To remove the landing gear, squeeze the wheels together and gently pull the
landing gear out of the fuselage. To install the landing gear, squeeze the wheels
together and slide the landing gear wire into the slot located on the bottom of
the fuselage.
