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 fi rst 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. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage.
2. Install the flight battery in the center of the
battery tray. Ensure the battery is secured by
the hook and loop strip.
Center of Gravity (CG)
Measure back
28mm
from the leading edge of the
top wing, where the wing meets the fuselage and
place a mark. Balance the airplane on this CG mark.
The easiest way to achieve CG is to balance the
aircraft upright.
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.
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.
