If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully raised, the ESC will enter programming mode. Disconnect
the battery immediately.
The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the
control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal.
AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
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 also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires
the steps below.
Lower throttle and throttle trim
to lowest settings.
Power on the Transmitter
then wait 5 seconds
Install flight battery and connect
it to the ESC.
Keep plane immobile
and away from wind
for 5 seconds.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it
will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC
removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor
quickly decreases and increases, showing that some battery
power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft immediately
and recharge the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before storage,
charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage,
make sure battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
Tip: Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may not hear
the pulsing of the motor.
For your first flights, set your transmitter timer or a
stopwatch to 3 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or
shorter flights once you have flown the model. Flights of
4.5 minutes or more are achievable if using proper throttle
management.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
