EN SAFE® Select Technology The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks.
EN Model Assembly Landing Gear Installation 1. Turn the fuselage so the bottom side is facing up. 2. Secure the Landing Gear assembly (A) into place with the six included screws (B). Disassemble in reverse order.
EN Model Assembly Continued Horizontal Tail Installation B 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. A 3. Secure the two horizontal tail pieces in place using the 2 included screws (B). 4. Attach the clevis to the elevator control horn (see instructions for clevis connection).
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation 2 A 1. Connect the Aileron connectors from the wing to the respective Y-harnesses connectors from the receiver. The left and right servos can be connected to either side of a Y-harness. 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. CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. 2.
EN Model Assembly Continued Float Installation (Optional) A Float Assembly D 1. Install the 2 cross members (A) to the left and right floats as shown. 2. Install the front and rear float struts to the floats and secure the assembly together using the included 4 float plates (B) and screws (C). The front strut has slightly more of an angle than the rear strut (Figure 1). 3. Install the front support members (D) as shown using the included screws (E). Fig.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. Bind Plug Installation The aircraft has an optional SAFE Select technology, which can be switched ON or OFF easily by binding in a specific manner as described below. This does not turn OFF AS3X® technology.
EN SAFE® Select Switch Designation The SAFE® Select technology can be easily assigned to any open switch 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%. Assigning a switch 1. Bind the aircraft correctly to activate SAFE select to allow the system to be assigned to a switch. 2.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming A Battery Selection 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. ® Optional 1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings.
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 in the center of the battery tray. Tip: Measure the CG with the aircraft upright. 60–70mm back from leading edge of wing at the fuselage. 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 the 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.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Continued Water Takeoff and Landing Using the Optional Float Set 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. To take off on water, steer with the rudder and slowly increase the throttle. Keep the wings level on takeoff.
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. 4 Recharge the flight battery. 7 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
