Installing the Flight Battery (continued)
Quick Tip: You can install a tape “pull tab” on the end of the battery to make it easier to remove. You can also
carefully remove some additional material from the opening in the rear of the body.
Center of Gravity
Once the battery has been properly installed and secured you will need to check the helicopter’s center of gravity.
If the helicopter is not properly balanced it can be difficult to control and constantly try to move forward or
backward in hover.
To check the center of gravity, lift the helicopter by the stabilizer flybar with the flybar positioned perpendicular to
the tail section of the body. Make sure that the helicopter balances level. If it does not, confirm that the battery
has been properly installed and reposition if necessary.
