AS3X Control Direction Test 

This test ensures that the AS3X

®

 control system is functioning properly. 

Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before 

performing this test.

1.  Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate  

AS3X technology. 

CAUTION:

 Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a 

moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.

2.  Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in 

the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as 

shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.

Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is 

normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.

During the first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle with flaps 

up. Make small trim adjustments with the transmitter’s trim switches to 

straighten the aircraft’s flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for three seconds. This 

allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.
