Settings for Control Horns

The following illustration shows the factory settings 
for linkages on the control horns. After fl ying, your 
may choose to carefully adjust the linkage positions 
for the desired control response.

Tip:

 We recommend you move the rudder linkage 

to the second innermost hole in the rudder horn for 
taxiing with fl oats.

Before the fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an 
accident, make sure the fl ight 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

 

centered. The transmitter sub-trim must

 

always be set to zero.

2.   When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully
 

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3.   Make the U-shape narrower to make the
 

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider

 

to make the linkage longer.

 

Centering Controls After First Flights

For best performance with AS3X, it is important 
that excessive trim is not used.

 If the aircraft re-

quires excessive 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 fl ight 
trimmed position.
