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.
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.
Due to different effects of torque, lift, and drag some aircraft require trim
changes with different speeds and throttle settings. Mixes are pre-loaded
into the receiver to compensate for these changes. The mixes become active
the first time the throttle is raised above 25%. The control surfaces may be
offset slightly at different throttle settings after the first time throttle is raised.
Trimming the plane in flight should be done at 80-100% throttle for best
results.
The CG location is measured back from the leading edge of the wing, at the
root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery (
SPMX50006S30) placed almost all the way to the back of the battery compartment
with the model balanced upright. Adjust the battery forward or aft as needed to
achieve the proper CG location.
CAUTION:
Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG.
Personal injury may result.

In-Flight Trimming
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 80-100% throttle. Make
small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to achieve straight
and level flight.
After adjusting 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.
