EN Preflight 1 Remove and inspect contents. 8 Make sure linkages move freely. 2 Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 9 Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 3 Charge the flight battery. 10 Perform the AS3X Response Test with the aircraft. 4 Fully assemble the airplane. 11 Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 5 Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 12 Perform a radio system Range Test. 6 Check the Center of Gravity (CG).
EN Nose Gear Installation Continued A 1. Remove the top hatch (A) to access the nose gear/rudder servo arm. 2. Attach the nose gear pushrod (B) to the servo arm (C). Attach the pushrod to the third outermost hole as shown and re-install the clasp. When needed, disassemble in reverse order. C B Motor Installation 1. Install the motor with the X-mount (D) on the fuselage using 4 screws (E). 2. Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires.
EN Model Assembly Continued A Required Adhesives: Thin CA Rudder Installation 1. Slide the rudder’s CA hinges (A) into the hinge slots (B) of the vertical tail. Make sure to place the tail light and wire (C) on the left side of the rudder. B 2. Rest the aircraft on its nose, holding the tail up so the thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) will flow into the slots. 3. Bend the hinges by turning the rudder left, then carefully apply thin CA to each hinge in the right side of each slot. 4.
EN Model Assembly Continued Horizontal Tail Installation 1. Slide the horizontal tail tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal tail as shown. Ensure the control horn faces down. 3. Install 2 screws (B) in the holes in the bottom of the horizontal tail. 4. Attach the ball link (C) to the elevator control horn’s outermost hole using the included nut (D) and screw (E).
EN Model Assembly Continued Main Wing Installation 1. Secure each wing strut to the wing using the inluded nut (A) and bolt (B). Note the orientation of the fuselage end of the strut. The wedge end of the strut should be oriented as shown in the illustration. B 2.5 X 20mm 2. Slide the wing tube (C) into the hole in the wing pocket above the cockpit. 3. Align the wing halves (D) with the recess of the fuselage and fit the wing to the fuselage. A 4.
EN Model Assembly Continued Scale Antenna Installation Install the scale antenna (I) by pushing them into place. I Control Surface Centering 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. If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible Switching ON SAFE Select Binding Sequence transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. The aircraft has an optional SAFE Select feature, which can be switched ON or OFF easily by binding in a specific manner as described below.
EN SAFE® Select Switch Designation SAFE® Select technology can be easily assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position) on your transmitter. With this new feature, you now have the flexibility to enable or disable the technology while in flight. Mode 1 and 2 Transmitters IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that channel is set at 100% in both direction. Assigning a switch 1. Bind the aircraft correctly to activate SAFE Select.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend the E-flite® 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB50006S30). 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. CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured back from the leading edge of the wing, at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery (EFLB50006S30) placed almost all the way to the back of the battery compartment with the model balanced upright. Adjust the battery forward or aft as needed to achieve the proper CG location. 3.74-4.1 in. (95-105mm) Back from the leading edge of wing.
EN AS3X Response Test This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. Aircraft movement AS3X Reaction CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled. Rudder Aileron 2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Flying Field Always choose a wide-open space for flying your aircraft. It is recommended that you fly at a designated RC flying field. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Continued Water Takeoff and Landing Using the Optional Float Set (Float Set EFLA5600 and Wire Mounting Set EFLA5605) Only use the floats if you are comfortable flying your aircraft and have repeatedly taken off, flown and landed with success. Flying off water poses a higher risk to the airplane because the electronics can fail if fully immersed in water.
EN PNP Receiver Selection and Installation The Spektrum AR636 receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
