EN Preflight 1 Remove and inspect contents. 9 2 Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 10 Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. Make sure linkages move freely. 3 Charge the flight battery. 11 Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft. 4 Setup Transmitter using transmitter setup chart. 12 Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 5 Fully assemble the airplane. 13 Perform a radio system Range Test.
EN Transmitter and REceiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select 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. • 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 SAFE® Select Switch Designation BNF 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 Thrust Reversing (optional) The Avian™ Smart ESC in this aircraft is equipped with thrust reversing, but it must be enabled before it will function. Reversing the motor can be helpful when taxiing or for shortening ground roll after a landing. Flipping the designated switch reverses motor rotation, throttle will still control motor speed. WARNING: Never attempt to use thrust reversing in flight. Applying reverse thrust while in flight will result in loss of control and possibly a crash.
EN Model Assembly Landing Gear Installation B 1. Install the landing gear assembly (A) on the fuselage and secure in place using 3 screws (B). 3 X 10mm (3) Disassemble in reverse order. A Horizontal Stabilizer Installation IMPORTANT: The Ultimate 3D includes two tail tubes to accommodate the use of a 3s or 4s battery. The lightweight composite tube is recommended to achieve correct CG when using a 3S battery. The metal tube is recommended to achieve correct CG when using a 4S battery. 1.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Bottom Wing Installation 1. Connect the aileron servo connectors (A) to the aileron y-harness connectors in the fuselage. 2. Align the bottom wing mounting pins with the fuselage mounting plate to attach the bottom wing to the fuselage. 3. Secure the wing in place with the locking pin (B). Insert pin and turn 90 degrees to lock in place. A Disassemble in reverse order. B Top Wing Installation 1. Align the top wing with the center mounting post.
EN Model Assembly Continued 3. Slide the left and right wing strut in place, between the upper and lower wings as shown. Ensure that the arrow indicator on top of the strut is pointing forward and that the smooth side of the strut faces out. 4. Secure the wing struts to the top and bottom wing with the 4 included pins (A). Ensure that the wing pins are fully seated. 5. Link the upper and lower ailerons by installing the Z-bend end (B) to the lower wing’s aileron control horn. 6.
EN Model Assembly Continued Propeller and Spinner installation 1. Slide the collet (A), backplate (B), spinner backplate (C) and the propeller (D) on the motor shaft. Ensure the propeller size (11 X 6.6) faces forward. C 2. Slide the washer (E) on the propeller shaft and tighten the spinner nut (F) with an adjustable wrench to secure the propeller into place. 3. Slide the spinner (G) on the propeller shaft in front of the propeller. 4. Secure the spinner with the spinner screw 3 x 8mm (H).
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend the 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S30). 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 settings.
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 airplanes receiver, set the trims and subtrims to 0, ensure the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces.
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 2. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which will cause the aircraft to pitch down. Ailerons Elevator 1. Pull the elevator stick back.
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 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.
