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. 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 flap positions and AS3X will
be on for no flaps position.
To use the flap 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
flap system menu. Then change the flap 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 first flights 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 deflection 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 first flights, 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.

Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20
programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare
™
radios.
The names given in parentheses correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming
terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about
programming your transmitter.
The Spektrum AR637T receiver is recommended for ths airplane. If you choose to install
another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to
your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions.
Installation
(AR637T shown)
1. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use heavy
duty double-sided servo tape.
NOTICE:
Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the
receiver using the chart.

Thrust Reversing
Motor reversing is not enabled when this aircraft is new. See the
Thrust Reversing
section of this manual for information about setting up and using the motor
reversing function in the ESC.
Transmitter Telemetry Setup
See the Telemetry Setup table after binding. In order for the ESC and battery
information to auto-populate in your transmitter’s telemetry menu, you must begin
telemetry setup with the aircraft bound and connected.
