WARNING
Immediately after each flight, disconnect the fan power batteries from the ESC. If this procedure is not followed, the ESC will continue to draw a small amount of current from the batteries eventually depleting them below minimum voltage and possibly ruin the entire set of packs.

The R/C link must be active (on) and the throttle and trim lever in the full aft (off) position. For the first operation of a new setup, be certain that the throttle channel is not reversed. The E.S.C. is set correctly at BVM and test run so it is not reversed.
