Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings
The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo
arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.
NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR637T
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR637T manual for
adjustment of gain values.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control
response. See the table to the right.

SAFE

Select Switch Designation
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, first verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between
5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal, not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are
in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
Assigning a Switch
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired
switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).
4. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been
selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch.

Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, set the transmitter trims and sub-trims to 0.
Confirm the control surfaces are centered. If the surfaces are not centered, mechanically
center the control surfaces by adjusting the length of the linkages as follows:
1. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver and pliers, remove the machine screw and lock
nut holding the ball link to the control horn.
2. Turn the ball link in or out on the pushrod to adjust the length of the linkage.
3. Insert the machine screw through the ball link and the desired hole in the
control horn.
4. Install the lock nut and tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
