Battery Installation and ESC Arming
Battery Selection
We recommend the E-fl ite® 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-fl ite Li-Po battery packs
to fi t in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. It is recommended to apply hook and loop tape (A) to the bottom of your
battery.
3. Carefully lift the back of the canopy hatch (B) to remove.
4. Install the fully charged battery (C) in the battery compartment as shown.
See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
5. Make sure the fl ight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap (D).
6. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
7. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will
not initialize.
The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 6 of the binding
instructions for more information).
An LED will light on the receiver.
8. Reinstall the canopy hatch. C
CAUTION: Always
keep hands away from
the propeller. When
armed, the motor will turn
the propeller in response
to any throttle movement.

Flying Tips and Repairs
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a fl ying location.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fl y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specifi c transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the fi rst time),
you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some fl ight
conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis
due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more
information.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Select low rates
for fi rst takeoff and gradually increase the throttle to 3/4 to full and steer with
the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude.

Flying Tips and Repairs Continued
WARNING:
Always decrease
throttle at propeller
strike.
Flying
Fly the airplane and trim it for level fl ight 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 fl y straight and level with no trim or sub-trim.
Tip: If using more than 8 clicks of fl ight trim, mechanically adjust the linkage
so less trim is needed, or AS3X operation may be affected.
Landing
For your fi rst fl ights with the recommended battery pack (EFLB32003S), set
your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes.
After fi ve minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter
ights once you have fl own the model. If at any time the motor pulses, land
the aircraft immediately to recharge the fl ight battery. See the Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC) section for more details on maximizing battery health and run time.
To land the aircraft, fl y the aircraft down to the ground using 1/4 –1/3
throttle to allow for enough energy for a proper fl are. The aircraft is easiest to
land doing a wheel landing (two point), where the aircraft touches down on the
main landing gear fi rst while the tailwheel is still off the ground. The aircraft
can also be landed in a three-point attitude, where all three wheels touch
down at the same time. When the aircraft touches down, reduce back pressure
on the elevator stick to prevent the plane from becoming airborne again.
Landing with Tricycle Gear:
To land the aircraft with tricycle landing gear, fl y the aircraft down to the
ground using 1/4 –1/3 throttle. Once the aircraft is 1 meter (3-4 feet) above
the ground, slowly pull back the elevator stick. At this speed, this will result in
a “fl are”, causing the nose to rise without increasing altitude. The aircraft will
lose speed so that the main gear lands fi rst before the nose gear
touches down.
If landing on grass, it is best to hold full up elevator after touchdown and when
taxiing to prevent nosing over.
Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed enough to
prevent scraping the wingtips.
Takeoff and Landing with Optional Floats
To take off on water, steer with the rudder and slowly increase the throttle.
Keep the wings level on takeoff. Hold a small amount (1/4–1/3) of up elevator
and the aircraft will lift off once fl ying speed is reached. Avoid rapidly
increasing the throttle as torque from the motor may cause the aircraft to roll
to the left when on water.
To land this aircraft on water, y the aircraft to a couple of feet off the surface
of the water. Reduce throttle and add up elevator to fl are the aircraft. When
taxiing, you must use throttle to move the aircraft forward, but steer with
the rudder stick. The stick will turn both the aircraft rudder and a small rudder
attached to the left fl oat.
Avoid taxiing cross wind if there is a breeze, as this can cause the aircraft to
ip over if wind gets under the upwind wing. Taxi 45 degrees into the direction
of the wind (not perpendicular to the wind) and use aileron to hold the upwind
wing down. The aircraft will naturally try to face into the wind when taxiing.
Always fully dry the aircraft after landing on water.
CAUTION: Never go alone to get a downed model in the water.
CAUTION: If at any time water splashes in the fuselage while fl ying from
water, bring the airplane to shore, open the battery hatch and
immediately remove any water that may have gotten in the fuselage. Leave the
battery
hatch open overnight to let the inside dry out and to prevent moisture damage
to the electronic components. Failure to do so could cause the electronic
components to fail, which could result in a crash.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and
trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage
to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and
motor.
NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver
is secure in the fuselage. If you replace the receiver,
install the new receiver in the same orientation as the
original receiver or damage may result.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: When you are fi nished fl ying, never leave the
aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the fl ight 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 pulses, showing that some
battery power is reserved for fl ight control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before
storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V
per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after fl ying by using a
Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be
made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts
are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the end of
this manual.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT
handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

or in front of the safety line.
(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be
established.
(c) An area away from the safety line must be maintained for spectators.
(d) Intentional fl ying behind the safety line is prohibited.
