Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings
The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo
arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.

Control Surface Centering
During assembly the control surfaces need to be mechanically centered when
the servos are at neutral.
Assemble the model, set up the transmitter, bind the transmitter to the aircraft
receiver, and set the trims and sub-trims to 0. With the model powered
on, make fi nal adjustments as needed so all the fl ight control surfaces are
centered.
If adjustment is required, turn the ball link to thread it in or out and change the
length of the linkage.
• Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the correct
length so the control surface is centered.
• Attach the linkage to the control horn after adjustment.
NOTICE:
If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR636
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR636 manual
for adjustment of gain values.
After fl ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired
control response. See the table below.

Select technology can be easily assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position)
on your transmitter. With this feature, you have the fl exibility to enable or disable the
technology while in fl ight.
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%. Turn throttle hold OFF if it is programmed
in the transmitter.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor, intakes and exhaust tube
and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
Assigning a switch
1. Bind the aircraft correctly to activate SAFE Select. 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.
TIP:
SAFE Select is assignable on any unused Channels 5–9.
