CAUTION:
Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash. Elevon
Mixing is required. This airplane is unfl yable without an elevon mix enabled.
Installation
(AR636 shown)
1. Remove the canopy from the fuselage.
2. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use double-
sided servo tape.
3. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the
receiver using the chart in the illustration.
4. Confi gure your radio control system to mix the Aileron and Elevator commands
to the servos. This is called elevon mixing. The Spektrum AR636 applies
elevon mixing in the receiver programming once properly confi gured. Most
conventional receivers will require Elevon mixing to be manually set up in the
transmitter. Consult your radio system manual for more information.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Lift the hatch at the plastic hard point to remove.
3. For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the
optional hook and loop tape to the bottom of your
battery and the hook side to the battery tray.
4. Install the fully charged battery in the middle of the
battery compartment, as shown. Secure using the
hook and loop strap.
5. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind upright
and on fl at surface or the AR636 receiver will not initialize
(BNF only).
• The ESC will produce a series of sounds. A single tone
followed by 3 fl at tones indicating cell count, then 3
ascending tones indicating the ESC is armed.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
7. Reinstall the battery hatch.

Battery Selection
The E-fl ite
®
2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30) is
recommended. Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries.
If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range
of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-fl ite Li-Po battery packs to fi t in the
fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before fl ying.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming
CAUTION:
Always
keep hands away
from the propeller. When
armed, the motor will turn
the propeller in response to
any throttle movement.
Receiver Selection and Installation (PNP only)
The Spektrum AR636 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.
CAUTION:
When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM
module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to
your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer
to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle
channel. All fl ight surfaces must also be checked for the correct direction.
