ESC/Receiver Arming and Battery Installation
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.
Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding as
previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight
battery requires the following steps.
AS3X
The AS3X
system will not
®
or trim is increased above 25% for the first time. Once
active, the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily
on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X technology will remain
active until the battery is disconnected.
1. Open the battery hatch.
2. Attach the battery to the hook and loop strip so the
battery is centered in the battery cavity.
3. Lower the throttle and power on your transmitter. En-
able throttle cut switch.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.
Keep the plane immobile and away from wind for 5
seconds to allow the AS3X system to initialize. A series
of tones and a continuous LED (LED may be difficult
to see as it is located inside of aircraft.) indicates a
successful connection.
A solid blue LED indicates that the aircraft is in SAFE
flight mode and a solid RED LED indicates that the
aircraft is in AS3X flight mode. When the aircraft is in
SAFE the servos will move without increasing throttle
above 25% throttle
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery
from the ESC when not flying to eliminate power
supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an
arming switch and will respond to any transmitter input
when a signal is present.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery
from the ESC when not flying to avoid
over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a
voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may
become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and
potential fire when batteries are charged.
Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG location is 77mm from the leading edge of the
wing, where it meets the fuselage. This CG location has
been determined with the recommended battery. Adjust
the battery forward or aft so the model balances level at
the recommended point.
