EN SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic) The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks.
EN Model Assembly Sub Fin Installation 1. Wipe the mounting areas on the sub fins and the fan cover with a paper towel to pick up any dust or loose paint before applying glue. 2. Use CA glue to attach the sub fins to the fan cover. Apply a thin layer in the fin mounting cavity on the fan cover. NOTICE: Do not apply glue to the front half of the sub fin where they meet the fuselage. The sub fins should be glued to the fan cover only.
EN Model Assembly Continued Vertical Tail Installation 1. Connect the rudder servo to the servo extension tucked into the cavity. Verify the servo is operating correctly with your radio system before proceeding. 2. Wipe the mounting areas on the vertical tail and fuselage with a paper towel to pick up any dust or loose paint before applying glue. 3. Tuck the rudder servo lead and connector back into the cavity . 4. Use CA glue to attach the vertical tail to the fuselage.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation 1. Slide the wing tube into the fuselage. 2. Slide the wings onto the wing tube. 3. Secure the wing halves into position from the bottom using the four included 3 x 16mm screws. Disassemble in reverse order. 3 x 16mm Phillips head machine Scale Accessories Optional Armament Installation The fake missiles may be installed for flight or removed as desired. 1.

EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection The Spektrum 3200mAh 22.2V 6S 50C Li-Po battery (SPMX32006S50) 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. Lower the throttle to the lowest settings.
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. 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 easily assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position) on your transmitter. With this feature, you have the flexibility to enable or disable the technology while in flight. IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (SPMX32006S50). 90 – 110mm back from leading edge of wing at the fuselage. The CG location is given below and is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root with the landing gear down. The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or backward in the battery compartment. NOTICE: Install the battery in the aircraft, but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG.
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.
