During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle with flaps up.
Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the
aircraft’s flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows
the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.
