Before the  rst  ights, or in the event of an
accident, make sure the  ight control surfaces
are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if
the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the
transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the
aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of
linear servos.
1. Ensure SAFE Select is OFF.
2. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when
the transmitter controls and trims are centered.
The transmitter sub-trim must always be set
to zero.
3. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully
bend the metal linkage (see illustration).
4. Make the U-shape narrower to make the
connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to
make the linkage longer.
Centering Controls After First Flights
For best performance with AS3X, it is important
that excessive trim is not used. Do not trim the
aircraft while SAFE Select is active. Always trim
the aircraft in AS3X mode. If the model requires
excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks of trim
per channel), return the transmitter trim to zero and
adjust the linkages mechanically so that the control
surfaces are in the  ight trimmed position.

Dual Rates
To obtain the best  ight performance, we
recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable
of adjustable Dual Rates. The suggested settings
shown here are the recommended starting settings.
Adjust according to the individual preferences after
the initial  ight.
NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel
adjust over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is
set over 100%, it will not result in more control
movement, it will overdrive the servo and
cause damage.
It is normal for linear servos to make signi cant
noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.
Tip: For the  rst  ight,  y the model in low rate.
Dual Rate
High Low
Aileron 100% 70%
Elevator 100% 70%
Rudder 100% 70%
The table to the right shows the factory settings for
the control horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings.
CAUTION: When these are incorrectly
connected for the pilot’s skill level,
unexpected aircraft response to controls can
result. This can cause damage to the aircraft and
personal injury.
