EN Box Contents Quick Start Information Transmitter Setup Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (do a model reset), then name the model.
EN Preflight Checklist 1 Remove and inspect contents. 9 Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 2 Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 10 Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft. 3 Charge the flight battery. 11 Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 4 Fully assemble the airplane. 12 Perform a radio system Range Test. 5 Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 13 Find a safe open area to fly.
EN Model Assembly Continued Required Adhesives: B A Medium CA Rudder Installation 1. Insert the z-bend (A) of the rudder linkage into the outermost hole of the rudder control horn (B). Tip: Inside the fuselage, move the rudder servo arm to full travel. This moves the linkage rearward to give the most room to install the rudder. 2. Hold the fuselage with the rudder hinge slots faceing up as shown. Apply medium CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) in each hinge slot (C) so the CA flows down into each slot. 3.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Assembly and Installation Assembly 1. Slide both wing halves over the wing tube (A) until both wings meet B 2. Ensure the aileron servo wires exit the wings through the hole where the two wings meet (on the top side of the wing). 3. Connect the included Y-harness (B) to the aileron servo connectors (C). IMPORTANT: The ailerons must be connected to the receiver’s AILE (#2 channel) with a Y-harness (included) for the AS3X@ system to function properly.
EN Model Assembly Continued Landing Gear Installation (Tail Dragger Option) B 1. Install the main landing gear assembly (A) on the fuselage as shown using 2 screws (B). 2. Install the tail wheel (C) in the rudder mount as shown. Secure in place by tightening the set screw (D) on the flat spot on the strut using a 1.5mm hex wrench.

EN Model Assembly Continued Propeller Installation 1. Attach the collet (A), backplate (B), spinner backplate (C) and propeller (D) to the motor shaft (E) using the spinner nut (F). D A IMPORTANT: The propeller size numbers (12 x 8) must face out from the motor for correct propeller operation. C IMPORTANT: A tool is required to tighten the spinner nut on the collet. 2. Correctly align the spinner (H) and secure it on the collet using the screw (I).
EN Control Surface Centering After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages. Change the length of the linkage at the servo arm. Loosen and tighten the set screw on the servo arm using a 1.5mm hex wrench. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use sub-trim and trim to center control surfaces. The AS3X system requires sub-trim and trim set at 0.
EN PNP Receiver Selection and Installation The Spektrum AR636 receiver is recommended for ths airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 4-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. Installation (AR636 shown) 1. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage. 2. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use double-sided servo tape.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A We recommend the E-flite® 3200mAh 11.1V 3S 20C Li-Po battery (EFLB32003S). 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 E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB32003S) installed all the way forward in the battery compartment. 65-68mm back from leading edge at the root. Control Direction Test Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move in the proper direction.
EN AS3X Control Direction Test This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled. 2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Continued Flying Fly the airplane and trim it for level flight at 3/4 throttle. After landing, adjust the linkages mechanically to account for trim changes and then reset the trims to neutral. Ensure the aircraft will fly straight and level with no trim or sub-trim. Tip: If using more than 8 clicks of flight trim, mechanically adjust the linkage so less trim is needed, or AS3X operation may be affected.
EN Post Flight Checklist 1 Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for Safety and battery life). 5 Repair or replace all damaged parts. 2 Power OFF the transmitter. 6 Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 3 Remove the flight battery from the aircraft. 7 4 Recharge the flight battery. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Aircraft will not Bind (during binding) to transmitter Aircraft will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Motor power pulses then motor loses power 16 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel
