Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings
The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo
arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.
NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR631
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR631 manual
for adjustment of gain values.
Linkage Installation
The elevator linkages need to be installed after the tail is glued on.
1. Insert the Z bend end of the linkage into the appropriate hole in the servo
horn as shown in the table to the right
2. Connect the ball link to the control horn as shown in the table to the right.
Disassemble in reverse order.

Control Surface Centering
During assembly the control surfaces need to be mechanically centered when
the servos are at neutral.
Assemble the model, set up the transmitter, bind the transmitter to the aircraft
receiver, and set the trims and sub-trims to 0. With the model powered on, make
final adjustments as needed so all the flight control surfaces are centered.
If adjustment is required, turn the ball link to thread it in or out and change the
length of the linkage.
• Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the correct
length so the control surface is centered.
• Attach the linkage to the control horn after adjustment.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired
control response. See the table below.

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%. Turn throttle
hold OFF if it is programmed in the transmitter.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor, intakes and
exhaust tube and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of
accidental throttle activation.
Assigning a Switch
1. Bind the aircraft correctly to activate SAFE Select. This will allow the
system to be assigned to a switch.
2. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the
desired switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down) to assign that switch.
The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has
been selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current
switch if desired.
TIP: SAFE Select is assignable on any unused Channels 5–9.
