Preﬂight Checklist

Wing Area: 69 sq in

(4.45 sq dm)

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁer)

code of a single speciﬁc transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™DSM2/DSMX technology

equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www.

bindnﬂy.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding Procedure

CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM®module, you must reverse the

throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.

Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s

Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂash rapidly (typically after

5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or

switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound

to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of

the manual.

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per

cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC

protects the ﬂight battery from over-discharge

using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery

discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the

power to the motor in order to leave adequate

power to the receiver and servos to land the

airplane.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft

immediately and replace or recharge the ﬂight

battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery

from the aircraft after each ﬂight. Charge your Li-Po

battery to about half capacity before storage. Make

sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per

cell. Failure to unplug a connected battery will result

in trickle discharge.

For your ﬁrst ﬂights, set your transmitter timer or

a stopwatch to 4 minutes. Adjust your timer for

longer or shorter ﬂights once you have ﬂown the

model.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂying to LVC will damage the

battery.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

For subsequent ﬂights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂight battery.

1-2-3-4-5 Sec.

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 occurs after binding, but

subsequent connection of a ﬂight battery requires

the following steps.

AS3X

The AS3X®system will not activate until the

throttle stick 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. Install flight battery towards the front of the

battery tray. Ensure the battery is secured by

the hook and loop strip.

Center of Gravity (CG)

Measure back 35mm from the leading edge of the

wing, where the wing meets the fuselage and place

a mark. Balance the airplane inverted on this CG

mark with all landing gear installed. This CG has

been found with the battery installed in the front of

the battery compartment.

2. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the

lowest settings on your transmitter. Power

on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

3. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper

polarity. Keep the plane 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 ﬂying 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 ﬂying 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 ﬁre when batteries

are charged.

Control Direction Test

Aircraft

movement AS3X Reaction

1. Advance the throttle above

25% to activate the AS3X

system.

2. Fully lower the throttle.

3. Move the entire aircraft

as shown and ensure the

control surfaces move in

the direction indicated in

the graphic. If the control

surfaces do not respond as

shown, do not fly the aircraft.

Refer to the receiver manual

for more information.

Once the AS3X system is active,

control surfaces may move

rapidly. This is normal. AS3X

is active until the battery is

disconnected.

ElevatorAileronRudder

Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the

proper direction. Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

This test is meant to check that the AS3X®system is functioning properly.

AS3X®Control Direction Test

Before the ﬁrst ﬂight, or in the event of an

accident, make sure the ﬂight control surfaces

are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if

the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the

transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the

aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical

limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are

centered. The transmitter sub-trim must

always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider

to make the linkage longer.

Centering Controls After First Flight

For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the aircraft re-

quires excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks

of trim per channel), return the transmitter trim

to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so

that the control surfaces are in the ﬂight trimmed

position.

Control Centering

Control Horn Settings

The table to the right shows the factory settings for

the control horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings.

CAUTION: When these are incorrectly

connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected

aircraft response to controls can result. This can

cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

Dual Rates

To obtain the best ﬂight performance, we

recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable

of adjustable Dual Rates. The suggested settings

shown here are the recommended starting settings.

Adjust according to the individual preferences after

the initial ﬂight.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust

over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over

100%, it will not result in more control movement, it

will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signiﬁcant

noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty

servo.

Tip: For the ﬁrst ﬂight, ﬂy the model in low rate.

Dual Rate

High Low

Aileron 100% 70%

Elevator 100% 70%

Rudder 100% 70%

Landing Gear Removal

Main Gear

1. Carefully rotate each strut until it snaps away

from the gear plate.

NOTICE: DO NOT damage the leading

edge of the wing when removing the

landing gear.

2. Pull the landing gear strut out of the mounting

plate hole.

When needed, assemble in reverse order.

Tail Wheel

1. Pull the tail wheel assembly out of the plastic

tail wheel mount on the bottom of the fuselage.

When needed, assemble in reverse order.

We recommend ﬂying your aircraft outside in calm

conditions. Always avoid ﬂying near houses, trees,

wires and buildings. You should also be careful to

avoid ﬂying in areas where there are many people,

such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁelds.

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing

a location to ﬂy your aircraft.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into

the wind if ﬂying outdoors). Set dual rates to low

position and gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to

full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently on

the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim

is adjusted, begin exploring the ﬂight envelope of

the aircraft.

Landing

Land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to approximately

6 inches (15cm) or less above the runway, using a

small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep

the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂare.

During ﬂare, keep the wings level and the airplane

pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while

pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft

down on all three wheels.

Failure to lower the throttle

stick and trim to the lowest

possible positions during a

crash could result in damage

to the ESC in the receiver

unit, which may require

replacement.

Over Current Protection

(OCP)

This aircraft is equipped with

Over Current Protection (OCP).

This feature protects the

ESC from overheating. OCP

stops the motor when the

transmitter throttle is set too high and the propeller

cannot turn. The OCP will only activate when the

throttle stick is positioned just above 1/2 throttle.

After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the

throttle to re-arm the ESC.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the

warranty.

Repairs

Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA

(cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use

foam-compatible CA, as other types of glue can

damage the foam. When parts are not repairable,

see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by

item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,

refer to the list at the end of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on

your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the

aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁnished ﬂying, never leave

the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed

area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
