ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.
Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding
as previously described, but subsequent connection
of a fl ight battery requires the following steps.
AS3X
The AS3X
®
system
will not
activate
until the
throttle stick or trim is increased for the first
time. Once active, the control surfaces may
move rapidly and noisily on the aircraft.
This is normal. AS3X technology will remain
active until the battery is disconnected.
1. Open the battery hatch located at the bottom of
the fuselage.
2. Install the flight battery in the center of battery
try. Ensure the battery is secured by the hook
and loop strip.
Center of Gravity (CG)
Measure back
39mm
from the leading edge of the
wing, where the wing meets the fuselage and place
a mark. Balance the airplane on this CG mark.
3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the
lowest settings on your transmitter. Power
on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper
polarity. Keep the aircraft upright (on its gear)
and immobile and away from wind for 5
seconds to allow the AS3X system to initialize.
A series of tones and a continuous LED
indicates a successful connection.
Every time the receiver is powered ON the
control surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice
with a slight pause at neutral position to
indicate that SAFE Select is switched ON.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the ESC when not fl ying to eliminate
power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have
an arming switch and will respond to any
transmitter input when a signal is present.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the ESC when not fl ying to avoid
over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged
to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage
may become damaged, resulting in loss of
performance and potential fi re when batteries
are charged.
