Control Surface Centering
IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control
surface centering.
Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Linkage
While AS3X® technology is inactive (before advancing the throttle), mechanically center the control surfaces.
After binding a transmitter to the airplane’s receiver, set the trims and subtrims to 0, ensure the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the
linkages to center the control surfaces.
Trimming
IMPORTANT: Only trim this aircraft in AS3X Precision Flight Mode.
After adjusting transmitter trim in the air or on the ground, do not touch the
control sticks for 2 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct
settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect fl ight performance.
Tip: Use needle-nose pliers or ball link pliers (RVO1005) to remove or install a
link on a control horn.
• Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise
until the control surface is
centered.
• Attach the linkage to the
servo arm or control horn
after adjustment.

Transmitter Setup Checklist
9
Before binding your Computerized Transmitter (DX6i, DX6, DX7/DX7se,
DX7s, DX8, DX9, DX10t, DX18):
1. Choose a blank model memory with only default (zero) settings
(including trim and sub-trim).
After binding:
1. Check and adjust the servos so each arm’s neutral position is
perpendicular or as close to 90° as possible (loosen and adjust the
servo arm splines on the servo only when needed). DO NOT use
sub-trims to make fi ne adjustments, off-center sub-trim will affect
servo travel and AS3X operation.
2. Adjust linkage lengths so the control surfaces center when the
servo arm is close to perpendicular.
3. Set rates in the transmitter as recommended.
CAUTION: For safe operation, always re-bind the airplane after setup
is complete to ensure the failsafe is updated with the latest setup.

SAFE™ Technology Flight Modes
The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation in only this
aircraft, providing the following selectable fl ight modes. The programming in
this receiver cannot be changed by the user.
™
Stagility
This mode delivers agile response, with the important addition of automatic
recovery from any attitude. Release BOTH sticks and the aircraft returns to
upright, fl ight. Releasing only one stick will not provide automatic recovery. Use
this mode for slow fl ying and 3D maneuvers such as Harrier Rolls. Flying at
high speed in this mode will cause oscillation.
AS3X 3D Mode: Switch position 1
This mode uses high rates and high gains to deliver extreme maneuverability
with maximum stability at low airspeeds. Use this mode for slow fl ying and 3D
maneuvers such as Hovers and Harriers. Flying at high speed in this mode will
cause oscillation.
AS3X Precision Mode: Switch position 2
This mode uses low rates and low gains to deliver precise response at high
airspeeds. Use this mode to trim the aircraft and fl y fast precision maneuvers.
SAFE™ Transmitter Setup
If using any DSM2/DSMX transmitter, the radio will have to be confi gured
correctly for the SAFE system to work properly.
• SAFE Flight mode is selected using Channel 5 signal (high, middle, low)
• Panic mode is selected with Channel 6 signal (high, low)
Mode: Switch position 0
Panic Recovery Mode
• If you feel you have lost control in
any mode, hold the Panic Recovery
button and reduce throttle. The SAFE
technology will return the aircraft
to upright fl ight.
• Always fl y at a safe altitude, as
Panic Recovery may cause the
aircraft to lose some altitude when
leveling the wings.
• Release the Panic Recovery button
to turn off Panic mode and return to
the current SAFE fl ight mode with
full stick control again.
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
upright fl ight.
*Refer to your transmitter’s manual for more information about transmitter
setup.
IMPORTANT: A transmitter with a 2-position channel 5 switch will only allow
the use of position 0 or position 2 fl ight modes.

AS3X Control Direction Test
Perform the Control Direction Test to ensure the aircraft responds correctly to your transmitter. Once you are sure the aircraft responds correctly, move the aircraft as shown to ensure the AS3X system moves
the control surfaces in their proper direction. If the control surfaces
do not respond as shown, do not fl y the aircraft. Refer to the receiver
manual for more information.
The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the fi rst time after the fl ight battery is connected and the
ESC switch is in the ON position. Once the AS3X is active, the control
surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will
remain active until the battery is disconnected or the ESC switch is in
the OFF position.

Flying Tips
EN
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a fl ying location.
Range Check your Radio System
After fi nal assembly, range check the radio system with the aircraft. Refer to
your specifi c transmitter instruction manual.
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, decrease airspeed. If
oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
NOTICE: Fast fl ight in 3D Mode (switch position 1) and Stagility Mode (switch
position 0) will cause oscillation and may damage the aircraft.
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.
Wind
Fly in this area
600
feet (182.8 m)
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.
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 foam.
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 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).
Stand here
Flying
Fly the aircraft and trim it for level fl ight in Precision Mode (switch position 2)
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.
Landing
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.
If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery. It is not recommended to fl y the battery to Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC).
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.
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.
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam™ construction of 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.

Guidlines for Flying 3D
Getting Started
This aircraft and its SAFE™ system were designed together to help an intermediate pilot apply standard fl ying skills to the demands of 3D fl ying. The calmer
the wind conditions, the easier it is to execute maneuvers.
Select the SAFE fl ight mode that supports the maneuver you want to perform.
Hold the panic recovery button to help you escape diffi culty in a maneuver. You
may want to fl y low airspeed, high rate maneuvers at an altitude that allows
you space to escape into forward fl ight. For your fi rst hover attempts, fl y with
the canopy toward you for easier orientation.
When you fl y 3D, manage your throttle smoothly, but quickly respond to keep
your model in the air and oriented the direction you want. If desired, use
spotters to keep others from distracting you. Advanced 3D maneuvers always
seem to attract a curious audience.
Building Your Skills
Increasing your skills takes time. Practice regularly and try following a
plan for increasing your skills. Mastering one maneuver at a time may be
more benefi cial than trying to learn everything all at once. Always stay
aware of your aircraft’s performance in different conditions and attitudes:
What response can you consistently get from your aircraft?
• Set up your aircraft for consistent response in all attitudes and fl ight
conditions where you choose to fl y. Not all challenges are due to the
equipment, just as not all challenges are due to the pilot’s skills.
• If you feel you reach a plateau in your skills, see if you have built the
right habits in the fundamentals of 3D fl ying. Play to your strengths and
the strengths of your aircraft while minimizing reliance on areas of
weakness.
• Know yourself and your equipment well enough so you can confi dently
take on greater challenges. Push yourself, but avoid pushing past your
aircraft’s performance envelope.
• Seek fun ways to safely share your enjoyment of 3D fl ying.
