EN Quick Start Information Transmitter Setup Set up your transmitter using the transmitter setup chart High Rate Low Rate Aileron: Measured at p = 15mm p = 11mm the inside root of the q = 15mm q = 11mm Aileron. Box Contents Elevator: Measured p = 32mm p = 25mm at the inside root of the trailing edge of q = 27mm q = 21mm the Stabilator. Rudder: Measured = 21mm = 16mm at the base of the = 21mm = 16mm Rudder.
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 Horizontal Stabilator Installation 1. Slide the stabilator rod (A) into the mount on the fuselage. IMPORTANT: Care must be taken when inverting the fuselage. 2. Invert the fuselage and secure the stabilator rod in the fuselage with the included M3x10mm counter sunk machine screw (B) (2mm hex driver required). Tighten the screw until the screw head reaches the countersink of the fuselage. 3. Ensure the screw captures the groove on the stabilator rod. 4.
EN Wing Installation 1. Slide the short large diameter wing tube (A) into the front hole in the fuselage. 2. Slide the long, small diameter wing tube (B) into the rear hole in the fuselage. 3. Slide each wing until it fully mates with the fuselage, paying close attention to make sure the hands free connector aligns and engages. 4. Secure the wing halves into position from the bottom using the four included M3x20mm counter sunk machine screws (2mm hex driver required). Disassemble in reverse order.
EN Nose Cone Installation 1. Align and attach the nose cone to the fuselage. Magnets will secure the nose cone in place. Scale Accessories Optional Armament Installation The dummy missile and drop tank stores may be installed for flight or removed as desired. 1. Insert the mounting tabs, of the wing tip missile rails (A and B), into the bracket on each wing tip, noting that the beveled side is facing to the outside. 2.
EN Decal Application Apply the included peel and stick decals to customize the aircraft as desired.

EN Afterburner Ring Application To add the optional Afterburner Ring. 1. Remove the 2 screws (A) securing the vertical fin (B) and remove the fin. 2. Remove the 2 screws (C) holding the tailcone (D) and remove the cone. 3. Connect the afterburner connector to the preinstalled servo lead found under the vertical fin. 4. Apply contact cement (E) to the mating surface of the fuselage where the afterburner ring (F) will fit. 5. Fit the ring to the fuselage. 6. Reinstall the tailcone and the vertical fin. 7.
EN Receiver Installation (ARF Plus) The Spektrum AR637T receiver is recommended for ths airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. Installation (AR637T shown) 1. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use heavy duty double-sided servo tape. NOTICE: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash. 2.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A 6S 4000-7000mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 30C LiPo battery (SPMX50006S30) 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.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enable or Disable SAFE Select (BNF Basic) 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 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 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. Aileron stick 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.
EN Dual Rates and Control Throws Program your transmitter to set the rates and control throws based on your experience level. These values have been tested and are a good starting point to achieve a successful first flight. After flying, you may choose to adjust the values for the desired control response. Aileron Full Flying Stabilator Control Throw Measurement Stabilator Measure the control throw for the full flying stabilizer at the trailing edge at the inside chord section closest to the fuselage.
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. 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 to storage voltage level. 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.
