Charging the Flight Battery
Your F4U Corsair comes with a DC balancing charger and 3S Li-Po battery. You
should only charge your battery with the included charger. Never leave the bat-
tery and charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow the
instructions properly could result in a fire. When charging, ensure the battery
is on a heat-resistant surface. Charge the flight battery while assembling the
aircraft. Install the fully charged battery to perform control tests and binding.
