EN Preflight 1 Remove and inspect contents. 9 Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 2 Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 10 Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft. 3 Charge the flight battery. 11 Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 4 Fully assemble the airplane. 12 Perform a radio system Range Test. 5 Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 13 Find a safe open area to fly. 6 Check the Center of Gravity (CG).
EN Model Assembly Continued Required Adhesives: A Thin CA C Rudder Installation 1. Slide the rudder’s CA hinges (A) in the hinge slots (B) of the vertical tail. 2. Install the screw (C) in the rudder mount. 3. Rest the aircraft on its nose, holding the tail up so the thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) will flow into the slots. B 4. Bend the hinges by turning the rudder left, then carefully apply thin CA to each hinge in the right side of each slot. 5.
EN Model Assembly Continued Rudder Installation Continued 7. Attach the Z-bend (E) of the control linkage to the servo arm’s outermost hole, with the Z-bend facing in as shown. 8. Ensure the rudder servo arm is in the correct position and the rudder is centered, then snap the ball link (F) onto the ball of the rudder control horn (G). Ensure that the rudder is centered; remove and adjust the ball link if necessary. When needed, disassemble in reverse order. F G E Horizontal Stabilizer Installation A 1.
EN Model Assembly Continued Horizontal Stabilizer Installation Continued 4. Remove the screw securing the servo arm and remove the servo arm. 5. Attach the Z-bend end (D) of the control linkage to the servo arm’s outer most hole with the Z-bend facing out as shown. 6. Reinstall the elevator servo arm onto the servo. Ensure that it is oriented correctly on the servo output spline. 7.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Continued 5. In the fuselage, locate the 2 screw holes (B) at the bottom of the fuselage. Use the 2 included screws (C) to secure the wings into place. C B 20mm (2) CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. 6. Connect the right aileron servo wire into port 6 and the left aileron servo wire into port 2 as shown. 7. Reinstall the canopy hatch. When needed, disassemble in reverse order.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Continued B Top Wing Placement Continued 15mm (2) 3. Secure the top wing asembly to the center strut bracket with the 2 included screws (B). 4. Install the left and right wing struts (C) by sliding them into position decals facing out. Carefully lift the wing tip of the top wing and slide the wing strut towards the fuselage. Align the 2 tabs with the 2 recesses untill the strut rests into place. 5.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Continued Aileron connecting rod installation 1. Install the aileron connecting rod (A) to the upper aileron by snapping the ball link onto the ball. 2. Center the lower aileron and adjust the lower ball link as needed so the top aileron is centered. 3. Once both ailerons are centered, secure the connecting rod to the lower aileron using the included screw and nut. 4. Attach the remaining connecting rod to the other side of the aircraft using the same process.
EN Model Assembly Continued Motor and Propeller Installation E 1. Install the collet (A), drive washer (B) and spinner backplate (C) on the motor shaft (D). C 2. Install the propeller (E) propeller washer (F), and propeller nut (G) on the prop shaft. A G 3. Align the propeller with the two pins (H) on the propeller back plate as shown. Tighten the nut and ensure it secures the propeller snugly against the pins. D B 4. Install the spinner cone (I) over the propeller and spinner backplate.
EN 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. After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces. Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms.
EN 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 (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. Installation (AR636 shown) 1. Remove the canopy hatch from the fuselage. 2. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use double-sided servo tape.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend the E-flite® 4400mAh 22.2V 6S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB44006S30). 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 forward from the trailing edge of the top wing, at the center. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery (EFLB44006S30), with the model balanced upright. Adjust the battery forward or aft as needed to achieve the proper CG location. 5.2 in. (132mm) back from the leading edge of top wing at the center. 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 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. Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
EN Post Flight Checklist 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. 7 4 Recharge the flight battery. 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 18 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle ser
