Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
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 aircraft.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Disconnect and
remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before
storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge
during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the EPO foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy,
etc). 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 CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
SAFE® Select Flying Tips
When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying
aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the
airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly
smoothly with SAFE Select, avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for minor deviations. Holding deliberate
control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.
When flying with SAFE Select, throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend. Full throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb
slightly. Mid throttle will keep the airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to descend slightly nose-down.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls
when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react
immediately.
Differences between SAFE Select and AS3X modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed, battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC
(Required for Safety and battery life).
2 Power OFF the transmitter.
3 Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4 Recharge the flight battery.
