CONNECTING THE SERVO LEADS
●Plug your servos, gyro, electronic speed control and ESC leads
into their proper slots in your receiver.
●Using nylon cable ties, carefully tie the servo wires together
neatly to ensure that they don't hang loose and can't interfere
with any mechanical parts.
●Connect the motor plug from your ESC to the motor plug on
the motor, making sure that the polarity is correct.
●Unwind and secure the antenna to the helicopter frame, using
your favorite method. You can either run the antenna in a plastic
tube and secure it to the landing gear struts or, if your antenna is
short enough, you can secure it to the vertical tail, using a rubber
band. As an alternative, you could also purchase and install an
aftermarket whip antenna as described on page # 3.
IMPORTANT Double-check with your radio control systems manual the correct channel slots
in your receiver to plug the servo leads into. Most receivers will be like the following, but yours
could differ:
Roll Servo ------------ Channel 1
Pitch Servo ---------- Channel 2
ESC Throttle --------- Channel 3
Gyro -------------------- Channel 4
Collective Servo --- Channel 6
Tail Rotor Servo ---- Gyro
IMPORTANT When securing your antenna to the
helicopter, it's very important that the excess antenna
cannot be drawn into the main rotor blades or the tail rotor.
We recommend purchasing and installing a whip antenna.
This antenna can be mounted basically anywhere on the
main frame and you'll never have to worry about your
antenna getting caught in the rotor blades.
INSTALLING YOUR FLIGHT BATTERY
●To help hold the flight battery in place, apply a small piece of
Velcro®to the back of the flight battery and to the back of the
battery mounting slot in the main frame.
●Slide the flight battery into the mounting slot in the main frame
and double-check to make sure that the Velcro®is holding the
flight battery firmly in place.
IMPORTANT The Shogun 400 EP heli is designed to use the EvoFlight 3 Cell 1600Mah Lithium Polymer flight battery recommended
in these instructions. Use of any other flight battery is not recommended, and flight performance while using any other flight battery
cannot be guaranteed. This flight battery can ONLY be charged using a battery charger that is designed specifically to charge Lithium
Polymer cells. The flight battery must never be charged at more than 1.4 amps and the voltage output on your charger must
be set for 3 cells.
●The flight battery can explode. DO NOT overcharge the flight battery. DO NOT charge the flight battery if it's hot and NEVER charge the flight
battery while unattended. We suggest charging the flight battery outdoors and checking the temperature of the flight battery every five minutes to
ensure that it does not overcharge.
●In case of excessive heat during the charging process, disconnect the flight battery from the charger immediately and place the flight battery in a
fireproof container or in a fireproof area.
●Long before a Lithium Polymer battery fails, it begins to swell. If the flight battery swells even a very little, DO NOT use it. Disconnect it from the
charger immediately, let the flight battery cool, then dispose of it.
●DO NOT over discharge the flight battery. When flying, if any power drop is felt, then it's time to land and check the condition of the flight battery.
●DO NOT solder directly to the flight battery. If you change the plug, be careful not to get the flight battery hot.
IMPORTANT Before charging and using
your EvoFlight 3 Cell 1600Mah Lithium
Polymer flight battery, it's very important
to read and fully understand the warnings
listed above. Failure to understand the
warnings above could cause failure of the
flight battery, resulting in damage to the
flight battery, your battery charger or even
to yourself. Do not leave the flight
battery unattended during the
charging process.
