EN Preflight 1 Remove and inspect contents. 10 Test the flap operation. 2 Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 11 Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 3 Charge the flight battery. 12 Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft. 4 Setup Transmitter using transmitter setup chart. 13 Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 5 Fully assemble the airplane. 14 Perform a radio system Range Test.
EN Model Assembly Main Gear Installation A Secure the main gear assembly to the fuselage using 4 screws (A). Tail Installation 1. Connect the light connector (Servo style) from the horizontal stab to the fuselage. 2. Install the horizontal stab to the fuselage with the control horn facing down. 3. Connect the internal light connector (JST style) from the vertical fin to the connector coming from the top of the horizontal stab. 4. Align the vertical fin to the top of the horizontal stab. 5.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing assembly A 1. Slide the left and right wing halves together, as shown (figure A). 2. Ensure the internal wing lights connectors (JST type connector), aileron servo connectors and navigation light connectors are aligned with the hole (B) created by the two connected wing halves. B Wing Installation 1. Remove the battery hatch by pushing the retaining latch forward and pulling up on the backside of the hatch.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation 2. Guide the aileron servo connectors, wing light and navigation light connectors (A) from the wing through the hole in the bottom side of the fuselage. IMPORTANT: The ailerons must be connected to the receiver’s AILE (#2 channel) with a Y-harness (included) for the AS3X@ system to function properly. 3. Mount the wing by aligning the 4 wing pins with the respective holes of the fuselage. 4. Secure the wing into position using the included 2 screws (B).
EN Model Assembly Continued Clevis Installation • Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. • Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn. • Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn. 1. 4. 2. 5. 3. 6. al Control Surface Centering After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages.
EN Model Assembly Continued Optional Flap Installation A Before you begin you will need to purchase (2) (SPMA330) servos and a 6 inch Y-harness (SPMA3058) to complete the flap installation process. 1. Remove the main wing from the fuselage. 2. Install the servo arm included with the servos, angled rearward as shown (figure A). 3. Guide the servo wires down and through the wire channel of each wing. C E 4. Install the left and right flap servos (B) in the respective recess of the wing.
EN Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes. Horns NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR636 gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR636 manual for adjustment of gain values. Elevator After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response. See the table to the right.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend the E-flite® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 1.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30) installed all the way forward in the battery compartment. The easiest way to achieve CG is to balance the aircraft inverted. 89mm back from the leading edge at the root. AS3X Control Direction Test This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly.
EN In Flight Trimming During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path. 3 Seconds After adjusting trim do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance. Failure to do so could affect flight performance. Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
EN Post Flight 1 Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for Safety and battery life). 5 Repair or replace all damaged parts. 2 Power OFF the transmitter. 6 Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 3 Remove the flight battery from the aircraft. 7 4 Recharge the flight battery. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Aircraft will not Bind (during binding) to transmitter Aircraft will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo t
