Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered up bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time
after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft
movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are 0.
2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at 0.
3. Verify the control surface tips are mechanically centered.
4. If you need to make an adjustment, rotate the clevis on the linkage to
alter the linkage length between the servo arm and the control horn.
After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0,
then adjust the clevises to center the control surfaces.
5. Center the elevator approximately 3mm down from neutral for level flight.

SAFE

Select Switch Designation
SAFE
®
Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position)
controlling a channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch, SAFE
select ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while
in flight. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the aircraft will be in AS3X
mode exclusively.
IMPORTANT:
Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that
channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator, rudder and
throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
TIP:
SAFE Select is assignable on any unused channels 5–9. See your
transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP:
Use your radio channel monitor to confirm that the four primary channels
are showing 100% travel while assigning the switch.
TIP:
Use the channel monitor to make sure the switch you are assigning for SAFE
Select is active and driving a channel between 5-9 and that it is traveling 100% in
each direction.
TIP:
Make sure your four primary channels are not reversed if you are having
trouble assigning a SAFE Select switch.
Assigning a Switch
1. Bind the aircraft to choose
SAFE Select ON. This will
allow the system to be
assigned to a switch.
2. Hold both transmitter
sticks to the inside bottom
corners and toggle the
desired switch 5 times (1
toggle = full up and down)
to assign that switch.
The control surfaces of
the aircraft will move,
indicating the switch has been selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch
if desired.
