Transmitter Setup BNF
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Make your first flights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator. NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values below 50%. If less control deflection is desired, manually adjust the position of the pushrods on the servo arm NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust exponential in your transmitter.
Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20 programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWareTM radios. The names given in parentheses correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about programming your transmitter.
Smart Technology and Flight Times
When using the recommended 4S 2200mAh battery, the expected flight time is 35 minutes. Actual flight times may vary, based on the condition and performance of the particular battery, flying conditions, and throttle management. Flight times will typically be longer when using a lower power setting. Set your flight timer according to your flying style. When using a compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitter and Smarttechnology receiver along with the installed Smart-technology ESC, real-time battery voltage telemetry is available to minimize or eliminate the need for a timer.

General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF

· The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
· Keep away from large metal objects while binding. · Do not point the transmitter's antenna directly at the receiver while binding. · The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters
bind mode.

· Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.
· If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
· If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling and Disabling SAFE Select BNF

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes. Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch. IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft. IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding. This process defines the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible transmitters.

In Flight Trimming BNF
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for your flying style in AS3X flight mode. Flight trim is usually performed between 70100% power setting, per your preference. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter's trim switches to straighten the aircraft's flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.

3 Seconds

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 past 25% for the first time), the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some flight conditions you may see oscillation about an axis. If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft facing into the wind. Set the transmitter in low rate, and use the flaps switch to drop the flaps to the half, or partial flap position. Gradually increase the throttle to ¾, and steer with the rudder. Flaps make takeoffs shorter. As the tail comes off the ground, pull back gently on the elevator. When the aircraft is airborne, flip the gear switch to raise the landing gear. Climb to a comfortable altitude, and then flip the flaps switch to raise the flaps.
Flying
For your first flight with the recommended battery pack (SPMX22004S30). Set the transmitter timer or monitor the flight battery voltage telemetry as described in the Smart Technology and Flight Times section. If at any time the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately to recharge the flight battery. See the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) section for details on maximizing battery health and run time.
Landing
Land the aircraft into the wind. Use high rate elevator for landings. Use a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Lower the throttle to ¼ and flip the flaps switch to deploy the flaps to the appropriate position, usually full down. Flaps will make the landing approach steeper and slower, and allow for a smoother landing. Flip the gear switch to lower the landing gear. This will slow the aircraft further.
Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to flare. During flare, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its wheels.
When landing on grass, hold full up elevator after touchdown and when taxiing to prevent nosing over.
Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed enough to prevent scraping the wingtips.
Post Flight

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver is secure in the fuselage. If you replace the receiver, install the new receiver in the same orientation as the original receiver or damage may result.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
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 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. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge the 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 Battery Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the EPO 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.

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.

5 Repair or replace all damaged parts.

Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.

Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
