Control Direction Test
Switch on the transmitter, enable throttle cut and connect
the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron,
elevator and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the
rear when checking the control directions.
Elevators
1. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevator should move
up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.
2. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevator should
move down, which will cause the aircraft to pitch
down.
Ailerons
3. Move the aileron stick to the left. The left aileron
should move up and the right aileron down, which will
cause the aircraft to bank left.
4. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron
should move up and the left aileron down, which will
cause the aircraft to bank right.
Rudder
5. Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should
move to the left, which will cause the aircraft to yaw
left.
6. Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should
move to the right, which will cause the aircraft to yaw
right.
Control Centering
Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident,
make sure the flight control surfaces are centered.
Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces
are not centered. Use of the transmitter sub-trims may not
correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the
mechanical limits of linear servos.
1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the
transmitter controls and trims are entered. The trans-
mitter sub-trim must always be set to zero.
2. Remove the ball link connector from the control horn.
3. Adjust the plastic ball link by screwing it in or out, then
reassemble it on the control horn.
Control Horn Settings
The illustration shows the factory settings for the control
horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making
changes.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions
for the desired control response.
CAUTION: When these are incorrectly
connected for the pilot's skill level, unexpected
aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause
damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Centering Controls After First Flights
For best performance with AS3X, it is important that
excessive trim is not used. If the aircraft requires exces-
sive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks of trim per channel),
return the transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages
mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the flight
trimmed position.
