In Flight Trimming

During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle. Make small
trim adjustments with your transmitter's trim switches to straighten the aircraft's
flight 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 flight performance.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
Flying Field
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your aircraft. It is recommended that
you fly at a designated RC flying field. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires
and buildings. Avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as parks,
schoolyards, or soccer fields.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Understanding Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time),
you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some
flight 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 flaps to half travel for shorter takeoffs.
Flying
Fly the airplane and trim it for level flight at ¾ throttle with flaps up. After adjusting
trim in flight do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver
to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Landing
TIP: To prevent damage to the landing gear doors, it is recommended to remove
them when landing in tall grass.
Make sure to land the aircraft into the wind. Start to slow the model down to an
approach speed and set the flaps to half travel. If landing in windy conditions, land
at half flap travel. If flying in light winds, set flaps to full for final approach. With
flaps and retracts extended, 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 flare. During flare, 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 flap to elevator mix to help
reduce the pitching tendency from flaps.

Post Flight Checklist

Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC
Power OFF the transmitter
Remove the flight battery from the aircraft
Recharge the flight battery
NOTICE: When using flaps with this airplane, down elevator to flap 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 finished flying, 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 flight 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
flight 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 flying to LVC will damage the battery.
TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery's voltage before and after flying 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.
Repair or replace all damaged parts
Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge
Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future
flights
