In Flight Trimming
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your
transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path. After adjusting trim do not touch the control sticks for
3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
After landing, adjust the linkages mechanically to account for trim changes and then reset the trims to neutral. Ensure
the aircraft will fly straight and level with no trim or sub-trim.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.
Flying Tips and Repairs
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test
information.
Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time), the control surfaces will react to
aircraft movement. In some flight conditions oscillation may occur (the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis due
to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Location
Always choose a wide-open space for flying. It is ideal to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an
approved site, always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Never fly over people.
Hand Launching
When hand-launching your aircraft alone, hold the aircraft in one hand and the transmitter in the other.
Apply about 1/2–3/4 throttle. Hold the aircraft on the underside behind the wing launch the aircraft directly into the
wind, angled slightly up (5 to 10 degrees above the horizon). Avoid a baseball style throw where your throwing hand
follows an arc. Your throw should instead be more like throwing a javelin; imagine guiding the aircraft onto a flight
path. Allow the aircraft to climb to a safe altitude before maneuvering.
