Control Surface Centering ARF/BNF Basic
If installed, remove the propeller before centering the control surfaces.
Flap Setup Procedure
1. Before powering the model, disconnect the flap pushrod clevises from the flap
control horns.
2. With the flap switch in the up position (Pos 0: 0% travel), power the model and
verify the servo arms are perpendicular to the wing surface.
3. Adjust the clevises as needed to align each flap with the fixed inner portion of
the wing trailing edge.
4. Reconnect the clevises to the flap horns, and secure with the tubing.
5. Verify flap travel is 22mm (Pos 1), and 45mm (Pos 2). It may be necessary to
make small adjustments to the Pos 1 and Pos 2 flap travel settings to achieve
this.
Rudder, Elevator and Aileron Setup Procedure
6. Verify the trims and sub trims on your transmitter are zero.
7. Power the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero.
8. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.
9. 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.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming ARF/BNF Basic
The Spektrum
™
Smart 5000mAh 6S 22.2V Smart G2 50C; IC5 is recommended for
best performance. A 6S 5000-7000mAh LiPo battery with an IC5 or EC5 connector
is required, refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries. If
using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of
capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum Li-Po battery pack to fit in the
fuselage.
Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before flying.
WARNING: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement. If your
transmitter supports it, always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft
any time a battery is connected.
1. Lower the throttle to its lowest position. Power on the transmitter, then wait 5
seconds.
2. Lift the rear of the hatch to remove the hatch from the fuselage.
3. Install the charged battery in the middle of the battery compartment, as shown.
Secure using the hook and loop strap.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
5. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
• If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
6. Reinstall the hatch.
