Control Surface Centering

90˚
After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered, bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time
after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft
movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
3. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of
the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming
The Spektrum
™
Smart 2200mAh 4S 50C Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S50) is
recommended for best performance.
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 Spektrum Li-Po battery pack to fit in the fuselage.
Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before flying.
WARNING: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement. If your
transmitter supports it, always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft
any time a battery is connected.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Push back on the hatch release button behind the canopy and lift up on the rear
of the hatch up to remove the hatch from the fuselage.
3. Install the fully charged battery in the middle of the battery compartment, as
shown. Secure using the two included hook and loop straps.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
5. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
• If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
6. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
