EN Binding General Binding Tips and Failsafe • 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 Landing Gear Installation 1. Install two 5mm ID washers (A) and one wheel onto each axle. B A 2. Secure the wheels in place with one 3.5mm ID washer (B) and M3 nylon locknut (C), using a 5.5mm nut driver. 5mm washer (2) C 3.5mm washer M3 lock nut 3. Install the landing gear assembly (D) on the fuselage and secure in place using M4 x 20mm screws (E) and a #1 Philips screwdriver. 4.
EN Model Assembly Continued Horizontal Stabilizer Installation 1. Slide the horizontal tail (A) into the slot at the rear of the fuselage until the retaining clip clicks. Ensure the control horn and the two support struts are facing down. A 2. Snap the left and right support struts (B) onto the ball links (C). 3. Bind your receiver to the transmitter and power on the aircraft to ensure the elevator servo is centered before adjusting and connecting the elevator linkage.
EN Model Assembly Continued Leading Edge Slat Installation 1. Carefully apply medium CA (or another suitable adhesive) to each slat pocket. Use only one or two drops and hold the wing to prevent the glue from running. 2. Mount the slat onto the wing with the rounded edge facing forward. Also ensure the slats are installed with the Horizon Hobby logo near the wing root. NOTICE: Never lift or carry the aircraft by the by the leading edge of the wing or slats. Damage to the slats may occur.
EN Model Assembly Continued Foot Step Installation 1. Press the right and left foot steps (A) into the slots in the fuselage with the tab facing to the front of the aircraft. 2. Secure the right and left foot steps into place with 3 x 8mm self tapping screws (B). B 3 X 8mm Disassemble in reverse order. A Antenna Installation B 1. Apply medium CA to the base of the bottom fuselage antenna (A) and press it into the slot on the bottom of the fuselage. 2.
EN Model Assembly Continued LED Light Controller Settings and Options 1. Plug the light controller into the gear channel (Port 5). This is already done on BNF Basic version models. Light mode 2. Assign the gear (port 5) to a rotary knob of your transmitter to give full control of all 7 light modes. Mode 1 If your transmitter doesn’t have a rotary knob option, the light module can still function and be assigned to any 2 or 3 position switch, however not all light modes will be available.
EN PNP Receiver Selection and Installation 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. Remove the rear window of the aircraft by pulling up on the side tabs. 2. Remove the receiver hatch by pulling up on the hatch tabs, to expose the receiver compartment. 3.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend a 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 30C Li-Po battery (SPMX50006S30). 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 Smart Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 1. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting.
EN Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Ball Link IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering. While SAFE is inactive, mechanically center the control surfaces. IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the SAFE system requires sub-trim and trim at 0. After binding a transmitter to the receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, ensure the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces.
EN 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. WARNING: Do not assign Aux 2 to SAFE Select during transmitter setup. If SAFE Select is assigned to Aux 2, the throttle channel will reverse in flight once SAFE is enabled. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
EN Control Direction Test Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron, elevator and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions. Transmitter Command Control Surface Response Elevator 1. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.
EN AS3X Control Response Test Aircraft movement This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. AS3X Reaction CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled. 2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic.
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 Thrust Reversing (optional) This aircraft is equipped with the Avian™ 100 Amp Smart ESC with reversing. Reversing the motor can be helpful when taxiing or for shortening ground roll after a landing. Simply assign a switch to channel 7 (Aux 2) of your transmitter. Flip the switch to reverse the direction of the motor. (The SRXL2 connection of the Smart ESC to the AR637TA receiver allows the ESC to receive combined input from both channel 7 and channel 1 (throttle).
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Aircraft will not Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% respond to throttle but responds to Throttle channel is reversed other controls Motor disconnected from ESC Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Extra propeller noise Propeller is out of balance or extra vibration Prop nut is too loose Flight battery charge is low Propeller installed backwards Reduced flight time or aircraft Flight battery
