Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, conﬁ rm that the control surfaces are

centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the

control surfaces by adjusting the linkages.

Change the length of the linkage at the servo arm. Loosen or tighten the set

screw on the servo arm using a 1.5mm hex wrench.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use sub-trim and trim to center control surfaces. The

AS3X system requires sub-trim and trim set at 0.

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.

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.

Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root.

This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery

(EFLB32003S) installed all the way forward in the battery compartment.

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

ﬂ 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, ﬂ 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

ﬂ 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.
