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
technology.
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.

During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 75% throttle with
flaps and gear up. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim
switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path.
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.

back from leading
edge of top wing.
The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the top wing at the root.
This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery
(SPMX22003S30).
TIP:
Measure the CG with the aircraft upright.
NOTICE:
Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG.
Personal injury may result.
