not initialize.
• The motor will emit two even tones when the battery is connected and the
ESC has a throttle signal.
• The motor will then emit a series of slow single tones to indicate the number
of cells in the LiPo pack connected to the ESC (Four beeps indicates a fourcell LiPo pack. Six beeps indicates a six-cell LiPo pack).
• Two ascending tones indicate the ESC is armed.
• The orange LED will illuminate on the receiver when it is initialized.

General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF
• The included receiver has been specically programmed for operation of this
aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
• The orange LED on the receiver will ash rapidly when the receiver enters bind
mode.
• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you
re-bind.
• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe
moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to
actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support ofce.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling and Disabling SAFE Select BNF
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of ight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and
automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.
With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch
to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.
Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be congured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.
IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly
programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter ight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding.
This process denes the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible transmitters.

Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, conrm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered up, bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the rst time
after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft
movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
2. Power the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
3. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length
of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
NOTICE: Be aware of the pushrod bottoming out in the ball linkage. Do not thread the
pushrod too far into the ball link or the pushrod will damage the ball link and protrude
into the area needed for the control ball. Both ends of the pushrod may be threaded
in the ball links for larger changes.
Center of Gravity (CG)
The Center of Gravity (CG) location is measured from the leading edge of the wing.
The CG will be affected by battery changes. Always verify the CG is within the
recommended range before ight.
IMPORTANT: For general ying place the CG at 105mm from the leading edge. For
aerobatics place the CG at 110mm from the leading edge.
95-110mm
Behind the leading
edge of wing.
CAUTION: Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the
CG. Personal injury may result.

SAFE® Select Switch Designation BNF
EN
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to y in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
TIP: If model has a reversing ESC feature, Aux2 is not available for safe select.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, rst verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between
5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal,
not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual
rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch
to a channel.
TIP: If a SAFE Select switch is desired for your 6 function aircraft, and you are
using a 6 channel transmitter, the SAFE Select switch channel will have to be
shared with either channel 5 or 6 of the transmitter. This does not apply to the
NX6. Please refer to your NX6 instruction manual for further details.
Assigning a Switch
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired
switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).

AS3X® Control Response Test
WARNING: Do not perform any testing or maintenance with the propeller
installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could result
from the motor starting inadvertently.
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.
WARNING: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from
spinning motor, 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 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 rst ight, trim the aircraft for level ight at 3/4 throttle. Make small
trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s
ight path.
After adjusting 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 ight performance.
Flying Tips and Repairs
EN
3 Seconds
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ying location.
Flying Field
Always choose a wide-open space for ying your aircraft. It is recommended that
you y at a designated RC ying eld. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires
and buildings. Avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such as parks,
schoolyards, or soccer elds.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specic transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Understanding Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the rst time),
you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some
ight conditions, you will see oscillation. If oscillation occurs, decrease airspeed. If
oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Set your transmitter
in low rate and gradually increase the throttle from ¾ to full and steer with the
rudder. As the airplane gains speed, gently pull back on the elevator and climb to a
comfortable altitude. You may also set aps to half travel for shorter takeoffs.
Flying
Fly the airplane and trim it for level ight at ¾ throttle with aps up. After adjusting
trim in ight do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver
to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Landing
Make sure to land the aircraft into the wind. Start to slow the model down to an
approach speed and set the aps to half travel. If landing in windy conditions, land
at half ap travel. If ying in light winds, set aps to full for nal approach. With
aps and retracts extended, y 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 are. During 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.
Refer to the Dual Rates and expo chart for proper ap to elevator mix to help
reduce the pitching tendency from aps.
NOTICE: When using aps with this airplane, down elevator to ap mixing is
required. Failure to do so may result in loss of control or 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 nished ying, never leave the airplane in direct sunlight
or a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
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 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
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 ying to LVC will damage the battery.
TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after ying by using a
Smart LiPo Battery Checker and Servo Driver (SPMXBC100, 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 accelerator on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT
handle the aircraft until accelerator fully dries.

Receiver Installation (PNP)
The Spektrum AR637T receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose
to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range receiver.
Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions.
IMPORTANT: A Smart compatible Spektrum receiver is required for thrust
reversing, and telemetry information from the ESC.
Installation (AR637T shown)
1. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown, with the
servo ports facing rearward. Use double-sided servo tape.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the
receiver using the chart in the illustration.

Thrust Reversing (Optional)
The Avian™ Smart ESC in this aircraft is equipped with thrust reversing, but it
must be enabled before it will function. Reversing the motor can be helpful when
taxiing, or for shortening the ground roll after landing. Activating the designated
switch reverses motor rotation, throttle will still control motor speed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to use thrust reversing in ight. Applying reverse
thrust while in ight will result in loss of control and possibly a crash.
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT: Thrust reversing requires a Spektrum receiver with Smart Throttle
and a Spektrum transmitter with a minimum of 7 channels. The Avian ESC is
backwards compatible with conventional receivers (PWM output signal) for normal
operation, but reversing functions are only available with Smart Throttle technology.
Thrust Reversing Setup
Transmitter
On the transmitter, select an open channel (not already in use), and assign it to an
open switch, or button. Use different channels for thrust reversing and SAFE Select.
Motor reversing is assigned to Aux 2/Channel 7, by default, in the Smart ESC. If
SAFE Select and the ESC are assigned to the same channel, the motor will reverse
in ight.
CAUTION: Do not assign thrust reversing and SAFE Select to the same
channel. Doing so will reverse the motor when SAFE Select is enabled
during ight, resulting in a crash.
ESC
Set up the transmitter according to the setup chart, and bind your transmitter to the
airplane. The airplane must be powered on and bound to the transmitter to access
the Smart ESC programming.
As an alternative, it is possible to program the ESC with the Smart ESC
Programming Box (SPMXCA200, optional, not included).
IMPORTANT: Do not power the motor on before attempting to enter ESC
programming, the programming menu is locked once the motor is powered on. If you
need to enter ESC programming after the motor has been powered, you must power
cycle by disconnecting the battery and plugging it in again.
ESC Reversing Setup
1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver.
2. Power ON the transmitter.
3. Set switch H (throttle cut) to prevent accidental motor operation.
4. Set elevator and aileron to high rate.
5. Set Flight Mode to AS3X (The menu will not open if the Flight
Mode is set to SAFE).
6. Power ON the aircraft. A signal bar appears on the transmitter
main screen when the telemetry information is being received.
7. From the main screen navigate to the last screen past the
DX series,
NX series,
iX series
telemetry screens, the Avian Programming menu (Avian Prog).
8. All conguration in the Avian Programming menu is done by
moving the elevator and aileron stick. Follow the on-screen
prompts to access the menu. Move the stick up or down to move
the cursor, left or right to select a value or return to the cursor,
and up or down to change a value when it is selected.
9. Set BRAKE TYPE: Reverse
10. Set BRAKE FORCE: 7
11. Set THRUST REV: Select the channel you designated for thrust
reversing in your transmitter. CH7 is the selection by default,
but do not use this default option if you are using Aux2/Ch7
for SAFE Select.
12. Select EXIT W/ SAVE to save your selections

Tire Service
In the event of severe damage, replacement tires are available
(EFL-1333, EFL-1393 tire only). Minor repairs can be made with an inner tube
repair kit to the inside of the tire.
To replace or repair the tire:
1. Insert a small at-head screwdriver into the slot of the hubcap and carefully
pop the hubcap from the wheel.
2. Remove the wheel collar from the axle.
3. Use a 1.5mm hex driver to remove the bead locks.
4. Replace the tire, and/or ination valve as required for your repair.
5. Tighten each beadlock screw in small increments alternating evenly across
each of the screws.
6. Inate tire to your desired diameter. Do not exceed 5.75”(146mm) diameter.
7. Insert rubber plug into air valve.
IMPORTANT: Over inating can shorten the life of the tire. 3psi maximum pressure.
Tire Pressure and Diameter
Set your desired tire diameter with tire pressure. Inating the tires will increase the
tire diameter, reducing pressure will reduce the diameter. We recommend inating
the tires between 5.00” (127mm) and 5.75” (146mm).
Use lower tire pressure for rough surfaces, and higher tire pressure for smooth
surfaces. Minimum tire diameter is 5.00” (127mm).
Inating and Deating the Tires
Attach the included air hose extension to the air pump. Screw the needle into the
end of the air hose. Wet the needle before inserting it into the air valve in the wheel
hub for ination. Do not inate the tires beyond 5.75” (146mm) diameter
(3psi max). The tire pressure is too low to measure with most bicycle or automotive
tire pressure gauges. Low pressure gauges for sports balls have the correct range
and are available at sporting goods stores.
Insert the needle for pumping into the air valve without the pump to reduce tire
pressure. Air will immediately be released from the tire.

Flying Off Water
Flying off water poses a higher risk because piloting errors or water conditions
can cause the aircraft to become stranded. Only y from the water when a level of
comfort has been achieved ying the aircraft from the ground.
Pre-Flight
Ensure the optional oats are secure on the fuselage and the water rudder is correctly
connected and operating with the main rudder before putting the aircraft in the water.
Select an area to y that does not have water currents, salt water, or debris. Look around
the ight area and be aware of trees, docks, buoys, or other obstacles. Always y with a
spotter and avoid swimmers, boaters, people shing, and people on the beach.
Taxiing
When taxiing, use low throttle settings and the rudders to steer. Hold up elevator to
help keep the rudder in the water and the nose of the oats above the surface. Steer
into the wind when turning, and crab into the wind if crosswind taxiing is required.
When turning or crabbing into the wind, apply aileron against the wind to keep the
upwind side of the wing down and prevent the aircraft from being ipped over. Do not
apply down elevator when the airplane is taxiing or during the takeoff run.
On Step
When speed increases with throttle, the oats will rise out of the water and begin
to plane on the surface of the water, riding “on step.” The oats will come on step
at a speed below ight speed, this is a transitional phase when the aircraft is not
up to ight speed yet. This is considered a high speed taxi. Do not attempt to take
off as soon as the aircraft comes on step. Use low to medium throttle and hold up
elevator to manage speed on the water during a high speed taxi.
Takeoff
To lift off from the water, set the aps to the takeoff position, hold up elevator and
accelerate the aircraft to bring it on step. Relax the up elevator as the airplane comes
on step and accelerate to ight speed with full throttle. When the aircraft is travelling
at a sufcient speed, pull back slightly on the elevator to rotate for liftoff.
Landing
To land on the water, set the aps to the landing position, and y into the wind.
Reduce the throttle to a low setting but keep some power during the approach. As
the aircraft settles into ground effect, reduce the throttle fully and hold up elevator
to are. Hold up elevator through the touch down and as the airplane decelerates
on the water.
WARNING: Never attempt to retrieve a downed aircraft by swimming
unless you are sufciently trained and/or there is another person available
to respond in the case of an emergency.
CAUTION: Have a plan for retrieval in the event the airplane becomes
stranded. Never retrieve a downed model in the water alone.
CAUTION: If at any time water splashes in the fuselage while 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.
TIP: Use a shing pole with heavy line as a retrieval tool. Attach a tennis ball to the
line, and throw the ball past a stranded aircraft to retrieve it.
