Transmitter Setup BNF
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values
below 50%. If less control deflection is desired, manually adjust the position of
the pushrods on the servo arm
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
Exponential (Expo)
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.

Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20
programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare
™
radios.
The names given in parentheses correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming
terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about
programming your transmitter.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform a model reset),
then name the model.

Receiver Selection and Installation PNP
The recommended receiver for this aircraft is the Spektrum AR631.
If you choose to install a different receiver, it needs to be a 4-channel or more
full range (sport) receiver. Refer to the manual of your chosen receiver for correct
installation and operation instructions.
AR631 Installation
1. Lift the rear of the canopy to remove the canopy from the top of the fuselage.
2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to their respective ports on the
receiver using the table at the right.
3. Using double-sided servo tape, mount the receiver to the flat area behind the
ESC, as shown. The receiver should be mounted in the orientation shown,
parallel to the length of the fuselage, with the label facing up and the servo
ports facing the rear of the aircraft. The orientation of the receiver is critical for
all AS3X
®
and SAFE
®
technology setups.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.

Antenna Installation
The AR631 receiver has a coaxial style antenna. We recommend installing the
antenna as far as possible from metal, batteries, or carbon fiber to maximize signal
reception performance.
NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to the coaxial portion
of an antenna will reduce the performance of the antenna. Shortening or cutting
off the 31mm tip will reduce the range.
