Then pl ug cigarette in to its socket in ca r (A dapter sho uld b e connecte d if ch arge at home : connect the ada pter to home p ower socket, th en plug the adapt er' DC end to charg er). The LED wil l turn green indi cating it is ready f or charging.
2. Connect the battery to charger per its interface mark. The LED becomes red, which means charging is on the way.
3. Adjus t the current amo ng 0.3A~1.0A. I n order to pro lon g battery' l ife -span, we re commend to char ge them under l ow current if you h ave enough time .
4. When LE D flashing, the c harger wil l ent er the stage o f dri p current ch arging. The LED turn s gre en when full y charg ed, and the batte ry will be used at an y time.

Center of Gravit y Check
Pleas e check the CG befo re heading to the f lying field. The cen ter of gravity fo r your SPITFIRE s hould
fall wi thin the range as i ndicated by the a rrows.
For you r initial fligh ts, we suggest th at you balance th e model toward th e front of the wing . After you
becom e more familiar w ith the airplan e, you can move the C G more after. Howe ver, under no
circu mstances shou ld the CG fall behi nd (toward the ru dder) the rear ma rk. If necessar y, adj ust the CG
by movi ng your receive r or adding weigh t to the nose or tail o f the airplane
