Arming the ESC
You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter
to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.
Make sure all linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.
Control Direction Test
Control Centering
Before fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an accident,
make sure the fl ight control surfaces are centered.
Adjust linkages mechanically if the control surfaces
are not centered.
For best performance with AS3X, it is important that
excessive trim is not used. If the model requires
excessive trim, adjust the linkages and return the
trim on the transmitter to neutral position.
Use of the transmitter sub-trims will not correctly
center the aircraft control surfaces due to the
mechanical limits of the linear servos.
1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral
when the transmitter controls and trims are
centered. The transmitter sub-trim must be set
to zero.
2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully
bend the metal of the control linkage (see
illustration).
3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the
connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider
to make the linkage longer.

Lower throttle and throttle
trim to lowest settings.
Power on the Transmitter
then wait 5 seconds.
Install fl ight battery and
connect it to the ESC.
Keep plane immobile
on its wheels away from
wind for fi ve seconds.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully raised, the ESC will enter programming
mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.
The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the fi rst time. Once the AS3X
is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal.
AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller
in response to any throttle movement.
