Post Flight
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for safety and battery life).
2. Power OFF the transmitter.
3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4. Recharge the flight battery.
5. Repair or replace all damaged parts.
6. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
7. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
Motor Service
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.

SAFE Select Flying Tips BNF
When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any time the
aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control
will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick is moved will
determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft
to the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with
moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with SAFE Select,
avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for minor devia-
tions. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific
angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.
When flying with SAFE Select, throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend. Full
throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid throttle will keep the
airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to descend slightly nose-down.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE
Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into
AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for
AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.
Differences between SAFE Select and AS3X modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed,
battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

Throttle
Full throttle: Climb
Neutral: Level flight
Low throttle: Descend
Throttle will not affect
flight response.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor
service.
Disassembly
1. Remove the spinner screw (A) and the spinner.
2. Use a tool to remove the propeller nut and then remove the propeller, and prop
adaptor from the motor shaft.
3. Pull forward to remove the cowl from the fuselage. The cowl is secured by two
pins in the front and two magnets in the rear.
4. The lower half of the cowl is not removable. Gently bend the foam (B) to access
the lower screws on the motor X-mount. Remove the 4 screws (C) and the
motor with the X-mount from the fuselage.
5. Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires.
6. Remove the 4 screws (D) and motor from the X-mount.
Assembly
Assemble in reverse order.
• Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires.
• Install the propeller with the size numbers facing forward. The propeller may
require balancing.
NOTICE: If the propeller is not balanced, the aircraft may vibrate, causing the
stabilization system to not operate correctly and/or decrease the life of the
servos.
