SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic)
The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the fi rst fl ight with confi dence. No complex
transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch
limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the
sticks. In fact, with the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight and
level attitude.
Expand the advantage of what SAFE
able to turn the system ON and OFF with the fl ip of a switch. For example, turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs to counter the torque of the propeller.
Turn it OFF in fl ight for unrestricted aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select
ON for landings. As you drop the fl aps, SAFE Select reduces your workload by compensating for pitch changes automatically, regardless of throttle
position. It will help keep the correct pitch attitude and wings level during the fi nal approach. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select
can make your fl ights a great experience.
When the normal bind process is followed, the SAFE Select system is disabled, leaving specially tuned AS3X® technology in place to deliver a pure,
unrestricted fl ight experience.

AS3X Control Direction Test (BNF Basic)
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.
1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to
activate AS3X technology.
CAUTION: Ke ep all bod y parts, hair and loo se clo thing away from
a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.
2. 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 fl y the aircraft. Refer to the receiver
manual for more information.
Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly.
This is normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.

In Flight Trimming (BNF Basic)
During your fi rst fl ight, trim the aircraft for level fl ight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim
adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s fl ight path.
After adjusting the 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 fl ight performance.

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
Remember to take off into the wind. When you’re ready, set your
rudder control rates to high and point the model straight down the
runway, hold a bit of up elevator to keep the tail on the ground to
maintain tail wheel steering, then gradually advance the throttle. As
the model gains speed, decrease up elevator allowing the tail to come
off the ground. One of the most important things to remember with a
tail dragger is to always be ready to apply right rudder to counteract
engine torque. Gain as much speed as your runway and fl ying site will
practically allow before gently applying up elevator, lifting the model
into the air.
Flying
For your fi rst fl ights with the recommended battery pack
(SPMX22004S30), set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3
minutes. After 3 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 power reduces, 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.
Landing
To initiate a landing approach, lower the throttle while on the
downwind leg. Continue to lose altitude, but maintain airspeed by
keeping the nose down as you turn onto the crosswind leg. Make your
fi nal turn toward the runway (into the wind) keeping the nose down
to maintain airspeed and control. Level the attitude when the model
reaches the runway threshold, modulating the throttle as necessary to
maintain your glide path and airspeed. If you are going to overshoot,
smoothly advance the throttle (always ready on the right rudder to
counteract torque). Climb out to make another attempt. When the
model is a foot or so off the runway, smoothly increase up elevator
until it gently touches down. Once the model is on the runway and
has lost fl ying speed, hold up elevator to place the tail on the ground,
regaining tail wheel control.
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.
NOTICE: Always
decrease throttle at
propeller strike.
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
reduces, 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 EPO 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.

A. GENERAL
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained
fl ight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is
intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition.
All model fl ights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code
and any additional rules specifi c to the fl ying site.
1. Model aircraft will not be fl own:
(a) In a careless or reckless manner.
(b) At a location where model aircraft activities are prohibited.
2. Model aircraft pilots will
(a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft
(b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when
appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D.)
(c) Not fl y higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level
within three (3) miles of an airport, without notifying the airport
operator.
(d) Not interfere with operations and traffi c patterns at any airport,
heliport or seaplane base except where there is a mixed use
agreement.
(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of 55 pounds unless
in compliance with the AMA Large Model Aircraft program.
(AMA Document 520-A.)
(f) Ensure the aircraft is identifi ed with the name and address or AMA
number of the owner on the inside or affi xed to the outside of
the model aircraft. (This does not apply to model aircraft fl own
indoors).
(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous
boosts except for helicopters operated under the provisions of
AMA Document #555.
(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the infl uence of alcohol
or while using any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s
ability to safely control the model.
(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which
explode or burn, or any device which propels a projectile or
drops any object that creates a hazard to persons or property.
Exceptions:
• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and
are securely attached to the model aircraft during fl ight.
• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size
may be used provided they remain attached to the model
during fl ight. Model rockets may be fl own in accordance
with the National Model Rocketry Safety Code but may not
be launched from model aircraft.
• Offi cially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are
authorized touse devices and practices as defi ned within
the Team AMA Program Document (AMA Document #718).
( j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with
the AMA turbine regulations. (AMA Document #510-A).
3. Model aircraft will not be fl own in AMA sanctioned events, air shows
or model demonstrations unless:
(a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills have successfully
demonstrated all maneuvers intended or anticipated prior to the
specifi c event.
(b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by an experienced pilot.
4. When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn
and fastened. They must be OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE
approved or comply with comparable standards.
B. RADIO CONTROL
1. All pilots shall avoid fl ying directly over unprotected people, vessels,
vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and
property of others.
2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before the
fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model aircraft.
3. At all fl ying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which
all fl ying takes place (AMA Document #706.)
(a) Only personnel associated with fl ying the model aircraft are
allowed at 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.
4. RC model aircraft must use the radio-control frequencies currently
allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only
individuals properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate
equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.
5. RC model aircraft will not operate within three (3) miles of any preexisting fl ying site without a frequency-management agreement
(AMA Documents #922 and #923.)
6. With the exception of events fl own under offi cial AMA Competition
Regulations, excluding takeoff and landing, no powered model may
be fl own outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for
the pilot and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the fl ight line.
7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model
aircraft in fl ight while it is still under power, except to divert it from
striking an individual.
8. RC night fl ying requires a lighting system providing the pilot with a
clear view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times. Handheld illumi-nation systems are inadequate for night fl ying operations.
9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall:
(a) Maintain control during the entire fl ight, maintaining visual
contactwithout enhancement other than by corrective lenses
prescribed for the pilot.
(b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-Person View
