Assembly
Assemble in reverse order.
• Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires.
• Tighten the prop nut by using a 13mm wrench.
1 Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for Safety and
battery life).
2 Power OFF the transmitter.
3 Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4 Recharge the flight battery.
5 Repair or replace all damaged parts.
6 Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the
battery charge.
7 Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for

Motor Service
Post Flight
This aircraft is equipped with the Avian™ 100 Amp Smart ESC with reversing.
Reversing the motor can be helpful when taxiing or for shortening ground roll
after a landing.
Simply assign a switch to channel 7 (Aux 2) of your transmitter. Flip the switch
to reverse the direction of the motor.
(The SRXL2 connection of the Smart ESC
to the AR637TA receiver allows the ESC to receive combined input from both
channel 7 and channel 1 (throttle).
IMPORTANT:
The motor will draw more current in reverse as the propeller is
less efficient and creates more drag. This can reduce flight time.
IMPORTANT:
Thrust reversing requires a Spektrum receiver with Smart
Throttle such as the AR637TA and a Spektrum transmitter with a minimum of 7
channels. The Avian ESC is also backwards compatible with receivers that only
provide a PWM output.
