Transmitter Setup
(
BNF Basic
)
IMPORTANT:
After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
The GEAR Channel (CH 5) controls the retractable landing gear. The FLAP Channel (CH 6)
controls the fl aps. If you are using a 6 channel transmitter, The FLAP Channel (CH 6) can
be used to toggle SAFE Select. With the values listed below it will turn SAFE on for half
and full fl ap positions and AS3X will be on for no fl aps position.
To use the fl ap channel for the SAFE Select switch the values must be set to
+100 and -100 and the speed set to 0 temporarily to assign the safe switch in the
fl ap system menu. Then change the fl ap systems values back to the listing in the
TX setup. See the SAFE Select Switch Designation section of this manual to assign
the switch for SAFE Select.
Dual Rates
Attempt your fi rst fl ights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE:
To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values
below 50%. If less control defl ection is desired, manually adjust the position of
the pushrods on the servo arm
NOTICE:
If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
Exponential (Expo)
After fi rst fl ights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform a model reset),
then name the model.

* Flap programming values may vary slightly. For your initial fl ights use the
recommended fl ap travel settings provided in the Flaps section and adjust the
fl ap travel to your preference on subsequent fl ights.
