Technology Flight Modes
The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation in only this
aircraft, providing the following selectable fl ight modes. The programming in
this receiver cannot be changed by the user.
Stagility
™
Mode: Switch position 0
This mode delivers agile response, with the important addition of automatic
recovery from any attitude. Release
BOTH
sticks and the aircraft returns to
upright, fl ight. Releasing only one stick will not provide automatic recovery. Use
this mode for slow fl ying and 3D maneuvers such as Harrier Rolls.
Flying at
high speed in this mode will cause oscillation.
AS3X 3D Mode: Switch position 1
This mode uses high rates and high gains to deliver extreme maneuverability
with maximum stability at low airspeeds. Use this mode for slow fl ying and 3D
maneuvers such as Hovers and Harriers. Flying at high speed in this mode will
cause oscillation.
AS3X Precision Mode: Switch position 2
This mode uses low rates and low gains to deliver precise response at high
airspeeds. Use this mode to trim the aircraft and fl y fast precision maneuvers.

Transmitter Setup
If using any DSM2/DSMX transmitter, the radio will have to be confi gured
correctly for the SAFE system to work properly.
• SAFE Flight mode is selected using Channel 5 signal (high, middle, low)
• Panic mode is selected with Channel 6 signal (high, low)
*Refer to your transmitter’s manual for more information about transmitter
setup.
IMPORTANT:
A transmitter with a 2-position channel 5 switch will only allow
the use of position 0 or position 2 fl ight modes.

Gear 1; Mix 0 = AS3X 3D Mode
Gear 1; Mix 1 = AS3X Precision Mode
The Flap switch operates Panic Recovery:
Position 0=Off, Position 1=On. (not a momentary switch)
Panic Recovery Mode
• If you feel you have lost control in
any mode, hold the Panic Recovery
button and reduce throttle. The SAFE
technology will return the aircraft
to upright fl ight.
• Always fl y at a safe altitude, as
Panic Recovery may cause the
aircraft to lose some altitude when
leveling the wings.
• Release the Panic Recovery button
to turn off Panic mode and return to
the current SAFE fl ight mode with
full stick control again.
IMPORTANT:
If the aircraft is upside
down when the Panic Recovery button
is pressed, suffi cient altitude is re-
quired for the aircraft to return to
upright fl ight.
