EN Quick Start Information 1. Blank (Acro) Model 2. Wing Type: 1 Aileron, 1 Flap 3. Servo Reversing: All Channels Normal 4.
EN SAFE® Select Technology BNF 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 WARNING: Before proceeding, remove the spinner and propeller from the motor shaft. Never attempt to program the radio components, assemble the aircraft or perform maintenance of any kind without removing the propeller or engaging throttle cut. Serious injury could result if the motor starts inadvertently with the propeller still attached. Model Assembly Landing Gear Installation Mount the Landing Gear to the Fuselage 1.
EN Receiver Selection and Installation PNP The recommended receiver for this aircraft is the Spektrum AR637T. If you choose to install a different receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range receiver. Refer to the manual of your chosen receiver for correct installation and operation instructions. AR637T Installation 1. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the receiver using the table at the right. 2.
EN General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF • The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced. • Keep away from large metal objects while binding. • Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding. • The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.
EN Model Assembly (continued) Horizontal Stabilizer Installation 1. Slide the horizontal stabilizer joiner (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Flex each of the elevators back and forth several times to break in the hinge. 4. Secure the horizontal stabilizer pieces in place using the two included 3 x 12 mm self tapping screws (B). 3. Install the two piece (left and right) horizontal stabilizer as shown. Ensure the control horn faces down.
EN Model Assembly (continued) Wing Assembly Choose to assemble the wing with or without the leading edge slats to suit your flying style. For optimized high speed performance we recommend flying without the slats. For maximum slow speed performance we recommend installing the slats. With Slats Without Slats 1. Carefully remove all the foam slat pocket covers (A) from the wing. 1. Locate the rectangular decals on the decal sheet 2.
EN Model Assembly (continued) Wing Installation (continued) 3. Insert the connectors from the wings into the sockets on the fuselage. 4. Insert the leading edge of the wing into the wing saddle, and then tighten the 6 x 30mm nylon wing screws to secure the wing in place. CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. Disassemble in reverse order.
EN Integrated ESC Telemetry BNF: This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can provide information including RPM, voltage, motor current, throttle setting (%), and FET (speed controller) temperature. PNP: The ESC in this aircraft is capable of delivering telemetry information over the throttle connection when paired with a Smart compatible Spektrum telemetry receiver. It will function with a normal PWM servo siganl for common radio control systems.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. (without slats installed) 60mm +/-5mm back from the leading edge NOTICE: Install the battery and hatch but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result. 60 +/-5mm back from leading edge of wing at the fuselage. Control Surface Direction Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron, elevator, and rudder controls.
EN AS3X® Control Response Test BNF WARNING: Do not perform any testing or maintenance with the propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently. 1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology. WARNING: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from spinning motor, as these items could become entangled.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Range Check your Radio System Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. Oscillation Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
EN In Flight Trimming BNF During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle with flaps up. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path. 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. 3 Seconds Post Flight 1. 2. 3. 4.
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 Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Throttle channel is reversed Motor disconnected from ESC Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Propeller is out of balance Prop nut is too loose Flight battery charge is low Propeller installed backwards F
EN Float Installation (Optional) Float Assembly A 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 2.5mm x 25mm machine 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 self tapping screws (E).
