AS3X Control Direction Test
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: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away
from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.
IMPORTANT: The AR636 programming for this aircraft increases
control surface movement when landing gear is down.
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
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.
If more than 4 clicks of trim are required for straight and level fl ight, land the
aircraft and cycle the power OFF/ON. This will allow the receiver to learn the
correct trim settings to optimize AS3X performance.

Flying Tips and Repairs
EN
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 facing into the wind. Set your transmitter in low rate. Gradually increase the throttle to ¾ and steer with the rudder. As the tail comes off
the ground, pull back gently on the elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude.
Flying
For your fi rst fl ights with the recommended battery pack (EFLB22003S30), 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.
at the same time. When the aircraft touches down, reduce back pressure on
the elevator stick to prevent the plane from becoming airborne again.
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.
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.
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.
WARNING:
Always decrease
throttle at propeller
strike.
Panic Recovery Mode
(If you have activated Panic recovery
during binding)
• If you feel you have lost control of
the aircraft, hold the Panic Recovery
button or switch and reduce throttle.
The SAFE

• Release the Panic Recovery button
to return to normal fl ight with full
stick control again.
IMPORTANT: Always fl y at a safe
altitude, as Panic Recovery may cause
the aircraft to lose some altitude when
leveling the wings.
IMPORTANT: If the aircraft is upside
down when the Panic Recovery button
is pressed, suffi cient altitude is required for the aircraft to return to

technology will return
Landing
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
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.
