EN SAFE® Technology Flight Modes This aircraft has 2 selectable flight modes and a Panic Recovery feature. It is extremely important to follow the Transmitter Setup section of this manual before binding your transmitter to this aircraft . 2 Position Gear/Ch 5 Switch Transmitters DX6i and DX5e, DX4e (older versions) Precision Mode: This mode uses low rates and low gains to deliver precise response at high airspeeds. Use this mode to trim the aircraft and fly fast precision maneuvers.
EN Transmitter Setup for this SAFE® Technology Aircraft It is extremely important to folow these transmitter setup charts to assign your transmitter switches correctly to operate the flight modes and Panic Recovery correctly. Non-Computerized Transmitter Setup The installed AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation specifically in this aircraft. The flight modes can be changed in flight using a toggle switch (Gear/Channel 5 Switch).
EN Model Assembly Landing Gear Installation 1. Install the landing gear strut (A) with the wheels raked forward as shown. 2. Install the cover (B) on the fuselage using 4 screws (C). B Disassemble in reverse order. A C Horizontal Tail Installation 1. Slide the horizontal tail tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal tail as shown. Ensure the control horn faces down. 3.
EN Model Assembly Continued SFG Installation 1. Carefully apply the included tape (A) to the wing fence base. C 2. Align and install the left and right (marked L and R) top and bottom wing fences (B) into the respective wing slots (C). The bottom fences have integrated plastic skids, as shown. If desired, apply a small amount of thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) to the fences and wings. A B Wing Installation 1. Slide the wing tube (A) into the fuselage.
EN Clevis Installation • Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. • Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn. • Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn. 1. 4. 2. 5. 3. 6. Control Surface Centering After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Bind Plug Installation BIND PLUG IMPORTANT: Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section of this manual to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection We recommend the E-flite® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30). 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. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery installed near the center of the battery compartment. Tip: You can fly your aircraft inverted to confirm CG is correct. The aircraft should fly level when flying inverted at ¾ throttle with little or no elevator down pressure. If the aircraft CG is too far forward (nose-heavy), significant down elevator is required to fly level.
EN AS3X Control Direction Test 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 2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Range Check your Radio System can also be landed in a three-point attitude, where all three wheels touch down at the same time. When the aircraft touches down, reduce back pressure on the elevator stick to prevent the plane from becoming airborne again. Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
EN Guidlines for Flying 3D Getting Started This aircraft and its SAFE® system were designed together to help an intermediate pilot apply standard flying skills to the demands of 3D flying. The calmer the wind conditions, the easier it is to execute maneuvers. Select the SAFE flight mode that supports the maneuver you want to perform. Hold the panic recovery button/switch to help you escape difficulty in a maneuver.
EN Power Component Service CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service. A B E C G I J Disassembly 1. Remove the screw (A) and spinner (B) from the collet (G). 2. Remove the spinner nut (C), propeller (D), backplate (E) and collet from the motor shaft (H). You will need a tool to turn the spinner nut. 3. Remove 3 screws (I) from the cowling (J). Carefully remove the cowling from the fuselage. Paint may keep the cowling attached to the fuselage. 4.
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 Aircraft will not Bind (during binding) to transmitter Aircraft will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Motor power pulses then motor loses power 16 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel
