Full Range

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 ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the airplane.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each ﬂ ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Failure to unplug a connected battery will result in trickle discharge.

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model. Flights of 7 minutes are achievable if using proper throttle management.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

Preﬂ ight Checklist



1. Charge ﬂ ight battery.

2. Install ﬂ ight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged).

3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.

4. Make sure linkages move freely.

5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter.

6. Adjust center of gravity.

7. Perform a radio system Range Check.

8. Find a safe and open area.

9. Plan ﬂ ight for ﬂ ying ﬁ eld conditions.

CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM® module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Bind the AR6310 receiver to a DSM2/DSMX transmitter by shorting the bind pins (A) with tweezers, a hemostat or small needle-nose pliers. Metal to metal contact is needed to complete the circuit.

5. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the aircraft. Short the pins until the receiver LED begins to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

6. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle and throttle trims are in the low position to correctly set the failsafe.

7. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

8. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

Do not bend the bind pins.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of the aircraft.

2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape in the center on the bottom of your battery.

3. For the recommended CG, install the battery centered in the compartment, then press the battery onto the hook and loop strip (A). See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.

4. Connect a fully charged flight battery to the ESC. See the Arming the ESC instructions for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

5. Reinstall the battery hatch.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to eliminate power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an arming switch and will respond to any transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

Arming the ESC

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight battery requires the steps to the right.

Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the ﬂ ight battery is connected, recharge or replace the battery.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds and the ESC will enter programming mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter.

Remove the magnetic battery hatch and install the ﬂ ight battery to the hook and loop strip, then connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.

Series of tones

Continuous LED

Installing the Wing

1. Slide the wing tube into the right wing.

2. Insert the right wing with the wing tube (A) into the round hole in the wing slot of the fuselage while connecting the right aileron control.

NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo connectors, do not pull on the servo wires. Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction fit of the servo connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to the servo wiring.

3. Install the left wing (B) by sliding it over the wing tube to the fuselage while connecting the left aileron control.

4. Invert the fuselage so the landing gear is facing up. Secure the left and right wing to the fuselage using the included screws (C).

5. Remove the receiver cover (D) from the bottom of the fuselage.

6. Connect the aileron servos in the wings to the Y-harness connectors in the fuselage. The left and right aileron servos can be connected to either side of the Y-harness.

Tip: If you are using dual aileron/ﬂ aperon transmitter programming, connect the aileron servo connectors to the AILE and AUX1 ports on the receiver instead of using the included Y-harness.

After connecting the servos to the separate ports, program your transmitter for dual aileron/ ﬂ aperon and differential to beneﬁ t from the high performance characteristics of this aircraft.

Control Direction Test

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Control Centering

Before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the

control surfaces are not centered.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.

Settings for Servo Arms

This illustration shows the factory settings for linkages on servo arms. After ﬂ ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.

Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Centering Controls After First Flights

If the model requires excessive transmitter trim, return the transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the ﬂ ight trimmed position.

Ailerons Elevator/Rudder

This illustration shows the factory setting for the Elevator servo arm on the servo.

Elevator servo arm

IMPORTANT: The factory setting for the elevator servo arm is one tooth forward from a 90° angle to allow equal elevator deﬂ ection up

and down. All other control surface servo arms should be set to 90°.

Dual Rates and Expos

We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates and expo. The settings to the right are

recommended starting settings for intermediate pilots. Adjust according to individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

Tip: For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, ﬂ y the model at LOW RATE.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in no greater than moderate winds.

Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Set dual rates to LOW POSITION and gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the aircraft.

Flying

This aircraft is extremely responsive to control input. Fly at low rate settings until you are familiar with its response.

Fly your ﬁ rst attempts at high rate settings at high altitude and slow speeds.

Landing

Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to approximately 36 inches (90 cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its wheels.

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: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repairs

Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue as other types of glue can damage the foam.

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 back of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
