EN SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic) The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can offer an extra level of protection in flight. Use the following instructions to make the SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane flying in a straight and level attitude when the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.

EN Receiver Installation (PNP) AR637T Port Assignments 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. BND/PRG = BIND 1 = Throttle 2 = Ailerons 3 = Elevator AR637T Installation 4 = Rudder 5 = Lights 6 = Flaps 1.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A 3S or 4S 2200–3200mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 3200mAh 14.8V 4S 50C LiPo battery (SPMX32004S50) is recommended. 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 Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before flying. 1.
EN Binding General Binding Tips • 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. • Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind. • Keep away from large metal objects while binding. • If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle.
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. 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.
EN Control Surface Direction 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. Ailerons 1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The right aileron should move down and the left aileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank left. 2. Move the aileron stick to the right.
EN AS3X Control Response Test (BNF) 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. Aircraft movement AS3X Reaction 1. Raise the throttle to any setting above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology. Activate throttle cut to prevent motor operation during this test.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Getting Started Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. When you first connect the battery to the airplane AS3X will not be active. After advancing the throttle the first time, the AS3X system will be active and it is normal to see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
3. EN Post Flight 1. 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for Safety and battery life). Power OFF the transmitter. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft. 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.
