ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity

28mm

AS3X

The AS3X

system will not activate until the throttle

stick or trim is increased for the ﬁ rst time. Once active,

the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily on

the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X technology will remain

active until the battery is disconnected.

1. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage.

2. Install the flight battery in the center of the battery

tray. Ensure the battery is secured by the hook and

loop strip.

Center of Gravity (CG)

Measure back 28mm from the leading edge of

the top wing, where the wing meets the fuselage

and place a mark. Balance the airplane on this CG

mark. The easiest way to achieve CG is to balance

the aircraft upright.

3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest

settings on your transmitter. Power on your

transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.

Keep the aircraft upright (on its gear)and immobile

and away from wind for 5 seconds to allow the AS3X

system to initialize. A series of tones and a continuous

LED indicates a successful connection.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery

from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to eliminate power

supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an arming

switch and will respond to any transmitter input when a

signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery

from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-

discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage

lower than the lowest approved voltage may become

damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential

ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the

propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the

propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding as

previously described, but subsequent connection of a

ﬂ ight battery requires the following steps.
