AS3X Response Test
Aircraft movement AS3X Reaction
ElevatorAileronRudder
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.
1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X.
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. Refer to the receiver manual for more
information.
Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is
normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.
Due to different effects of torque, lift, and drag some aircraft require trim
changes with different speeds and throttle settings. Mixes are preloaded into
the receiver to compensate for these changes. The mixes become active
the first time the throttle is raised above 25%. The control surfaces may be
offset slightly at different throttle settings after the first time throttle is raised.
Trimming the plane in flight should be done at 80-100% throttle for best
results.
IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface
centering.
While SAFE is inactive, mechanically center the control surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the SAFE system requires sub-trim and trim at 0.
After binding a transmitter to the receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, ensure
the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the linkages to center the
control surfaces.
• Slide the retaining tube off the clevis.
• Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin
into the desired hole in the control horn.
• Move the retaining tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.
