Center of Gravity (CG)
An aircraft with correct CG has its weight balanced on the center of the aircraft
for safe, stable fl ight.
Balance the aircraft on your fi ngertips near the fuselage under the wings.
Adjust the battery position as needed.
- If the nose goes down, move the fl ight battery back until the aircraft
balances.
- If the nose goes up, move the fl ight battery forward until the aircraft
balances.

Flying Tips and Repairs
IMPORTANT:
Even though SAFE technology is a very helpful tool, the aircraft
still needs to be fl own manually. If incorrect input is given at lower altitudes or
at slower speeds, the aircraft can crash.
Choose a Flying Field
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is
very important to select a place to fl y that is very open. Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all
directions.
• Stay clear of pedestrians.
• Stay free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could
entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
Remember, your aircraft can reach signifi cant speeds when fl ying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on fl ying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with fi rst fl ights
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fl y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specifi c transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the fi rst time),
you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
In some fl ight conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back
and forth on one axis due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Hand Launching
When hand-launching your aircraft alone, hold the aircraft in one hand and the
transmitter in the other.
Apply about 1/2–3/4 throttle. Hold the aircraft on the underside and throw the
aircraft directly into the wind, angled slightly up (5 to 10 degrees above the
horizon). Climb to a safe altitude and check the trim. Once the trim is adjusted,
begin exploring the fl ight envelope of the aircraft.
Landing
If landing on grass, use the same approach as if fl ying an aircraft with landing
gear. Start your fl are with the power off about 1 foot above the ground and hold
the nose off until the tail touches down. Try to keep the wings level to prevent
grabbing a wing and turning the aircraft sideways.
NOTICE:
If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle
fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to
the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE:
When you are fi nished fl ying, never leave the
aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.
NOTICE:
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION:
Never catch a fl ying aircraft in your
hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and
damage to the aircraft.
Repairs
Repair this aircraft using CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape.
When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by
item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of
this manual.
Always decrease
throttle at
propeller strike.
