Transmitter Setup (BNF)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions with the throttle stick and trim in
the lowest position.
The FLAP Channel (CH 6) controls the flaps. SAFE select may be on a dedicated
switch or combined with the flap operation. When using one switch for both
functions, the switch will enable SAFE for half and full flap positions and AS3X
only when the flaps are up. See the SAFE Select Switch Designation section of
this manual to assign the switch for SAFE select.
TIP: If you choose to use the FLAP Channel (CH 6) to operate both the flap and
SAFE select, there is an extra step required during setup. The values need to
be temporarily set to +100 and -100 and the speed set to 0 in the flap system
menu. Complete the SAFE Select switch assignment process with these
settings, and then change the flap system values back to the values listed in
the setup table.
Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights in Low Rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate
values below 50%. If less control deflection is desired, manually adjust the
position of the pushrods on the servo arm
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
Expo
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
†
Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20
programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare™
radios. The names given in parenthesis correspond to the iX12 and iX20
programming terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific
information about programming your transmitter.
* Flap programming values may vary slightly. For your initial flights use the
recommended flap travel settings provided in the Flaps section and adjust
the flap travel to your preference on subsequent flights.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform a model
reset), then name the model.

Receiver Installation (PNP)
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. Slide the canopy latch (A) back and lift the back of the canopy to remove
the canopy from the fuselage.
2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the
receiver using the table at the right.
3. Using double-sided servo tape,(not included) mount the receiver to the flat
area behind the battery compartment, as shown. The receiver should be
mounted in the orientation shown, parallel to the length of the fuselage,
with the label facing up and the servo ports facing the front of the
aircraft. The orientation of the receiver is critical for all AS3X
®
and SAFE
®
technology setups.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
