The Battery Charger (EFLC1007) included with the Mosquito BNF has been designed to safely
charge the Li-Po battery.
CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po
batteries can result in a re, personal injury, and/or property damage.
• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated
with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If
charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or
discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in re.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40-120º F. Do
not store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can
be damaged or even catch re.
• Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
• NEVER USE A Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible
charger may cause re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.
Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, it will not hold a charge. The Mosquito ESC
protects the ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cuto (LVC). Before the
battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supply from the motors. Power to the
motors quickly decreases and increases, showing some battery power is reserved for ight
control and safe landing.
When the motor power decreases then increases, please land the aircraft immediately and
recharge the ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
Before storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage make sure battery
charge does not go below 3V per cell.
NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Charging the Battery
Only charge the battery with the
included Celectra™ 1-Cell 3.7V
Variable Rate DC Li-Po Charger. Please
familiarize yourself thoroughly with
the Battery Warnings and Guidelines
section before continuing.
CAUTION: Never connect Li-Po
batteries to a charger when charger
is not powered. Never leave adapter/
power supply or charger unattended
when power is connected.
A 6-volt battery, a 12-volt battery,
a 12-volt AC/DC power supply or
an E- ite 6V, 1.5-Amp AC/DC Power
Supply may be used with this charger. ALWAYS use a proper AC to DC adapter/power supply
when powering the charger from an AC outlet.
The Battery Charging Process
1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Make sure battery is NOT
damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
2. Put the included charger cord (EFLUC1008) output plug in power socket of the Variable
Rate Charger.
3. Connect the charger cord (EFLUC1008) clips to correct poles on a fully charged 6-or 12-volt battery
(battery not included). Attach red clip to positive (+) pole and black clip to negative (-) pole. An
LED on the charger will illuminate.
4. Press + or - buttons (buttons to the right (+) and left (-) of the large middle button) to make
charger LEDs show at the 0.7-amp mark (included 250mAh battery requires 0.7 amps).
5. Align red dots on flight battery and charger connector and connect battery to charger connector.
6. Press Start button on the charger (large middle button).
7. When flight battery is fully charged, LEDs will illuminate, sweeping from side to side.
8. Immediately remove fully charged flight battery from the charger.
CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.
WARNING: Failure to use the proper charger for a Li-Po battery can result in serious
damage, and if left charging long enough, will cause a re. ALWAYS use caution when
charging Li-Po batteries.

Installing Flight Battery
1. Remove hatch.
2. Correctly align red dots and
attach power connector to battery.
3. Install battery in model using hook and-loop strips then install hatch.
Note: Always disconnect the Li-Po
from the receiver/ESC of the airplane
when not ying. Failure to do so will
render the battery unusable.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique Identi er) code of a single speci c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen
Spektrum DSM® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Note: For a list of compatible DSM transmitters, please visit www.bindn y.com.
Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you will need to reverse
the throttle channel.
Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Make sure the ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power o the transmitter and move the transmitter more than 2 feet (50 cm) from the aircraft.
Keep away from large metal objects (vehicles, etc.) while binding.
4. Connect the ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ash rapidly. (Typically
after 5 seconds).
Note: Receiver LED is visible in the fuselage when the nose cone is removed.
5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating the receiver is bound
to the transmitter.
Note: If the LED does not go to a solid light, refer to Troubleshooting Guide at back of manual.

Note: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver/ESC of the aircraft when not ying. Failure
to do so will render the battery unusable.
CAUTION: When armed, the motors will turn the propellers in response to any throttle
movement. When the aircraft does not respond, you may need to bind.
