If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of
the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.

After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and

1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder,

3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series
of sounds. One long tone, then 3 short tones confirm that the LVC is

6. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the orange bind light on
the receiver will turn solid and the ESC will produce a series of three
ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
We recommend the E-flite® 3200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery
(EFLB32003S30). If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should
be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po
battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recom- A
mended CG.

1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

2. Push the canopy latch button (A) to release the canopy and remove.

3. For added security apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and
Optional
loop tape (B) to the bottom of your battery and the hook side to the battery
compartment.

4. Install fully charged battery (C) on the front edge of the battery
compartment as shown and secure using the hook and loop straps (D). B
5. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).

6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will
not initialize.

• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 6 of the binding D
instructions for more information).
• An LED will light on the receiver. C
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.

7. Reinstall the canopy by inserting the front tab first and pushing down on the
back of the canopy until the latch locks.

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

performing this test.

1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a

2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cut-
off (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a

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 stor-
age. 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.

In Flight Trimming
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight in a glide (power
off). 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 3 Seconds
the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.
It is normal for the aircraft to climb under power when it’s trimmed properly for
maximum glide performance.
