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 Model Assembly Continued Wing Assembly Flap Configuration NOTICE: The flaps and ailerons on the Twin Cargo airplane require configuration before flight. Operation without a joiner in place may lead to in-flight flutter on the center section, which may result in a crash. NOTICE: Only one joiner should be used to connect the center section. Do not link the center surface to both the flap and aileron.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Mount the Wing to the Fuselage 1. Insert the wing joiner into the fuselage. 2. Slide the wing onto the wing joiner. 3. Thread the included nylon thumb screws into position as shown to secure the wing in place. the Longer screws go in the front positions 2x for Front 3mm x 20mm Nylon Thumb Screw 2x for Rear 3mm x 16mm Nylon Thumb Screw Receiver Installation (PNP) The Spektrum AR636 receiver is recommended for ths airplane.
EN Transmitter Setup (BNF) IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions. The GEAR Channel (CH 5) controls the cargo door, The FLAP Channel (CH 6) controls the flaps. If you are using a 6 channel transmitter, the GEAR Channel (CH 5) can be used for SAFE select, the cargo door, or both. Unplug the servo for the cargo door from the receiver to use the FLAP Channel (Ch 5) exclusively to toggle SAFE select.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A 3S or 4S 4000-5000mAh LiPo battery is required. The E-flite® 4000mAh 14.4V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB40004S30) 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 E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. NOTICE: Nose weight will need to be added for lighter batteries.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select (BNF Basic) This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. Bind Plug Installation The aircraft has an optional SAFE Select feature, which can be switched ON or OFF easily by binding in a specific manner as described below.
EN SAFE® Select Switch Designation SAFE® Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position) controlling a channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch, SAFE select ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while in flight. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
EN Control Surface Direction Turn on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron and elevator 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. The right aileron should move up and the left aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.
EN AS3X Control Direction 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 CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled. Elevator 1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology. 2.
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.
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.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Throttle channel is reversed Motor disconnected from ESC Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Propeller is out of balance Prop nut is too loose Flight battery charge is low Propeller installed backwards Fl
