Control Surface Direction
Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, confi rm that the control surfaces are
centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control
surfaces by adjusting the linkages.
If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the
linkage 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.
Control surface centering should be done in AS3X mode before activating the
throttle after power up.

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
fl exibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while in fl ight. 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 confi rm 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.

Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate
the aileron, elevator, and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the rear when
checking the control directions.
Ailerons
1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The right aileron should move down and the
left aileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank left.
2. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the
left aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.

Rudder stick
Elevator stick
Elevators
3. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause
the aircraft to pitch up.
4. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which will
cause the aircraft to pitch down.
Rudder
5. Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should move to the left, which
will cause the aircraft to yaw left.
6. Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should move to the right, which
will cause the aircraft to yaw right.
