Trimming the Aircraft

Adjusting Trim in fl ight

The SAFE Plus fl ight mode switch should be set to 

AS3X mode

 (position 2) 

before adjusting the trims. 

Trimming is best done in calm wind conditions.

If the aircraft does not fl y straight and level at half throttle with the sticks at neutral, 
fl y into the wind and adjust the trim sliders as indicated in the table until the aircraft 
maintains a reasonably straight and level fl ight path.

After the aircraft is trimmed in fl ight, land the aircraft and proceed to the 

Manually 

Adjusting Trim

 section to set the trim mechanically.

Manually Adjusting Trim

WARNING:

 

Do not

 perform any maintenance with the propeller 

installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could 

result from the motor starting inadvertently.

The SAFE Plus fl ight mode switch should be set to 

Experienced mode

 

(position 2) before manually adjusting the trim settings. 
The aircraft should be kept still while perfoming manual adjustment of trim. 
With the trim settings from the trim fl ight still set in the transmitter, take note of 
the positions of each of the control surfaces, one at a time.
Adjust the clevis on each control surface to position the surface the same as it 
was with the trim offset.

1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.

2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the pushrod.

3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the tube towards the horn to 

secure the clevis.

4. Move to the next control surface.

When you have all of the surface trims centered, return the trim settings on 
the transmitter to neutral by pushing the trim buttons for each surface until the 
transmitter emits a loud beep indicating center trim.
