Measure after first flights to determine the trim settings you
are using. The model must be powered up and bound to the
transmitter in AS3X mode, keeping the throttle at zero, and
the measurement should be taken while the aircraft is sitting
upright and level.

Trimming
The trim process involves trimming for level flight on your transmitter with the
wings in the forward position (not swept), and then adjusting the length of the
pushrods to reset trim. After adjusting the length of the pushrods, you will need
to re-center the trims on your transmitter. The goal is for the model to be as close
to mechanically trimmed as possible with the wings in the forward position (not
swept). After the initial trimming process, you can trim for mid and fully swept wing
positions; each wing position/flight mode will have an independent trim setting in
the transmitter when using the recommended transmitter setup.
In-Flight Trimming
• Always trim in AS3X mode. NEVER trim this or any model in SAFE mode.
• Fly with the wings in the forward position (not swept) for intial trimming.
• Flight trim will vary with power settings/speed. Fly at 80% power or above with
high rate control throws when trimming.
• Flight trim will change when flying without landing gear installed. Adjust flight
trims accordingly.
Resetting Transmitter Trim After First Flights
After the first flights it is important to reset your transmitter trims to neutral by
following these steps:
1. Center the tailerons, measure and note the neutral point you are now using for
each taileron after initial trim flights.
2. Reset the aileron and elevator trims to neutral on the transmitter.
3. If adjustment is required, remove the lower hatch for access to the servo
linkages.
4. Change the length of the pushrods to set the tailerons to the measured positions
from step 1. To change the length of the pushrod, remove the ball link from the
control ball and thread the ball link in or out as needed.
5. Test fly again. Adjust the transmitter trim settings in all wing positions/flight
modes (the transmitter trim settings will be different for each wing position
which is why flight modes are enabled with the suggested transmitter setups).
Adjust the pushrod lengths again if needed to keep the transmitter trim settings
as close to neutral as possible with the wings in the forward (not swept) position.
Hand Launching
NOTICE:
Hand Launching in AS3X mode is not recommended as it may result in
a crash. Always hand launch in SAFE mode.
• We recommend flying without landing gear when hand launching.
• Always hand launch in SAFE mode, into the wind with wings forward
(not swept), at 100% power, in high rates.
When hand launching in SAFE mode, the control unit will immediately sense the
force of the launch and will automatically enable the Hand Launch Assist Mode. In
this mode the control unit will add up elevator automatically so the aircraft climbs
at a higher angle for a few seconds. It will return to standard SAFE mode shortly
after launch.
Follow Through
Use an overhand throw and launch with wings level and the nose of the model
slightly upwards. Follow through with your hand launch by pointing your fingers at
the airplane after the throw. Avoid an arching throw which can pull the nose down
at release.
Grip
We recommend holding the aircraft with a wide grip around the nacelles, near the
center of gravity, as shown.
