EN Preflight 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. 6 Check the Center of Gravity (CG).
EN Model Assembly Continued Horizontal Stabilizer Installation Continued 4. Attach the Z-bend end of the control rod (cc) (from Bag B) to the servo arm’s center hole as shown. 5. Attach the clevis (dd) to the elevator control horn’s second to outer most hole as shown. 6. Ensure the elevator servo arm is in the correct position, then adjust the linkage to center the elevator. When needed, disassemble in reverse order. cc dd Wing Installation Wing Assembly 1. Slide both wing tubes into the wing holes.
EN Model Assembly Continued Wing Installation Continued Wing Placement aa 1. Remove the canopy hatch from the fuselage by pulling back the release button (aa), then pull up on the back of the canopy. 2. Turn over the fuselage so the bottom faces up and feed the servo wires through the hole in the fuselage (bb). 3. Align the wing with the recess of the fuselage and fit the wing to the fuselage. CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. 4.
EN Model Assembly Continued Motor and Propeller Installation 1. Install the motor with X-mount (aa) on the fuselage using 4 screws (bb) from bag C. 2. Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires. Ensure motor spins in the correct direction. ee 3. Install the cowling (cc) on the fuselage using 3 screws (dd) from bag E. cc bb 4. Install the propeller (ee) and spinner nut (ff) on the prop shaft. Use a tool through the spinner nut to tighten.
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. After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces. Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms.
EN 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 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. P 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 aa We recommend the E-flite® 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB50006S30). 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. CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured forward from the trailing edge of the wing, at the root of the flap. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery (EFLB50006S30), with the model balanced inverted, with the landing gear extended. Adjust the battery forward or aft as needed to achieve the proper CG location. 11.5 in. (292mm) forward of trailing edge of wing at flap root.
EN In Flight Trimming During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path. 3 Seconds After adjusting 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 flight performance. Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
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 14 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle ser
