EN Model Assembly Wing Installation Flaps Gear Required Adhesives: A B Medium CA 1. Connect the flap servo connector to the receiver port number 6. 2. Connect the retract Y-harness connectors to the GEAR port number 5 and the aileron servo connectors to the AILE Y-harness. The left and right servos can be connected to either side of a Y-harness. C IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the AS3X® system requires connection of both ailerons to the included Y-harness and the AILE channel of the receiver.
EN Clevis Installation • Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. • Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn. • Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn. 1. 4. 2. 5. 3. 6. 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.
EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions. Dual Rates Take first flights in Low Rate. For landings use high rate elevator. NOTICE: To ensure AS3X functions properly, do not lower rate values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of the pushrods on the servo arm. NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
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 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. Installation (AR636 shown) 1. Remove the wing 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 We recommend the E-flite® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30). 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 panel line shown. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30) installed in the middle of the battery compartment with landing gear down and plane inverted. In front of this panel line. 37mm Control Direction Tests Transmitter Command Elevator Aileron 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. IMPORTANT: The AR636 programming for this aircraft increases control surface movement when flaps are fully down. 3. 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 Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Range Check your Radio System Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. Oscillation Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
EN Post Flight 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 AS3X Problem Possible Cause Solution Flying over recommended airspeed Reduce air speed Damaged propeller or spinner Replace propeller or spinner Imbalanced propeller Balance the propeller. For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at www. horizonhobby.
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 14 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel
