During your rst ight, trim the aircraft for level ight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments
with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s ight path.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ying location.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specic
transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for
the rst time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to
aircraft movement. In some ight conditions you may see oscillation
(the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis due to overcontrol).
If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more
information.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft facing into the wind. Set your transmitter in low rate.
Gradually increase the throttle to ¾ and steer with the rudder. As the
plane reaches ying speed, pull back gently on the elevator. When
airborne, climb to a comfortable altitude.
Flying
For your rst ights with the recommended battery pack
(EFLB22003S30), set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3
minutes. After three minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for
longer or shorter ights once you have own the model. If at any time
the motor power reduces, land the aircraft immediately to recharge
the ight battery. See the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) section for more
details on maximizing battery health and run time.
Landing
Land the aircraft into the wind. Use a small amount of throttle for the
entire descent. Lower the throttle to ¼.
Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to are. During are,
keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently
lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft
down on its wheels.
Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed
enough to prevent scraping the wingtips.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle. Failure to do so
could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to
the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver is secure in
the fuselage. If you replace the receiver, install the new receiver in
the same orientation as the original receiver or damage may result.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: When you are nished ying, never leave the aircraft in
direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can
damage the aircraft.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a
charge. The ESC protects the ight battery from over-discharge using
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too
much, LVC reduces power supplied to the motor showing that some
battery power is low but there is still enough reserved for ight control
and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use
to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half
capacity before long storage. During storage, make sure the battery
charge never falls below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery
from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will damage the battery.
TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after ying by
using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the EPO foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam
can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy,
etc). When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number. For a listing of all replacement and optional
parts, refer to the list at the end of this manual.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO
NOT handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to
learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect ight performance.
