Model Assembly

Landing Gear Installation (Optional)

1. Install the nose gear with two set screws, using a 1.5mm hex wrench. Use thread locking compound on the set screws. The flat spot will make the connection straight and secure.
2. Install the main gear and covers using the M2x8 flat head screws. (Phillips screwdriver required)

Wing Installation

1. Slide the wing tube into the fuselage.
2. Slide the wing panels on the wing tube. Ensure the wing panels are tight against the fuselage.
3. Using a 2mm hex wrench, install four M3x10 flat head screws to secure the main wing panels.
4. Connect the servo leads firmly. Make sure the wires are secure in the wing using the colored decals.

Horizontal Stabilizer Installation

1. Apply regular, (not Foam Safe) medium CA to the base of the horizontal stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.
2. Make sure the control horn faces the bottom of the fuselage, and fit each horizontal stabilizer into place.
3. On each side, attach the Z-bend of the elevator linkage to the center hole of the servo arm, then attach the clevises to the outer hole of the elevator control horns. Slide the clevis retainer tube over the clevis to lock in place.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is in alignment with the wing. Adjust as necessary, and hold in place while the CA cures.

IMPORTANT! Adjust each pushrod clevis to make sure the travel of both elevators match and are centered.

Vertical Stabilizer Installation

1. Apply medium CA to the base of the vertical stabilizers where they meet the fuselage.
2. Fit the vertical stabilizer in place on the fuselage. Make sure the vertical stabilizers are vertical, and aligned with each other.

Missile Installation

1. Attach the missiles on each side of the tanks using medium CA glue.

TIP: Along the line where the missile rack and the fuel tank connect, use a T-pin or hobby knife to poke several small holes through the paint to help the glue adhere.

1. Attach a missile assembly onto each wing by placing them into the slot and sliding back to lock in place. Ensure the long area of the tank faces forward. No glue is required.

Nose Cone Installation

1. Attach the nose cone to the airplane. The cone is held in place with the magnet. For a more secure attachment, use medium CA glue.

NOTE: Using adhesive is a permanent installation and can be more difficult to replace.

SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic)

The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In fact, with the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.

Expand the advantage of what SAFE® Select technology offers by assigning it to a switch. No transmitter programming is required and you'll be able to turn the system ON and OFF with the flip of a switch. For example, turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs to counter cross winds. Turn it OFF in flight for unrestricted aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select ON for landings. SAFE Select reduces your workload by compensating for pitch changes automatically, regardless of throttle position. It will help keep the correct pitch attitude and wings level during the final approach. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select can make your flights a great experience.

When the normal bind process is followed, the SAFE Select system is disabled, leaving specially tuned AS3X® technology in place to deliver a pure, unrestricted flight experience.

Binding Procedure / Switching ON SAFE Select

IMPORTANT: The included AR630+ receiver has been programmed for operation specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.

1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, then connect the flight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Three flat tones followed immediately by two ascending tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC. The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly.
5. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
6. Take three steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your transmitter's manual for specific binding instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not point the transmitter's antenna directly at the receiver while binding.

IMPORTANT: Keep away from large metal objects while binding.

1. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on the receiver stays orange. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Three or four flat tones followed immediately by two ascending tones. The tones indicate the number of cells in the battery and that the ESC is armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.

IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and OFF. Repeat the binding process as necessary.

SAFE Select ON Indication

Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth twice with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that SAFE Select is switched ON.

The throttle will not arm if the transmitter's throttle control is not put at the lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

2. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.

IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and OFF. Repeat the binding process as necessary.

SAFE Select OFF Indication

Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth once to indicate that SAFE Select has been switched OFF.

The throttle will not arm if the transmitter's throttle control is not put at the lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

PNP Receiver Selection and Installation

The Spektrum™ AR630+ receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions.

Installation (AR630+ shown)

1. Mount the receiver using double-sided servo tape. The receiver may be mounted upright, upside down or on its side, but it should be square with the fuselage in its mounting position. The receiver cannot be mounted at an odd angle.

TIP: For SAFE setups, install the receiver as close to the center of gravity of the aircraft as practical.

1. Connect the servos to their respective ports on the receiver using the chart below.

CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash. Always perform a control surface check and AS3X control surface response test before flying a new setup, or after any setup changes.

IMPORTANT: When using Y-harness or servo extensions with Spektrum equipment, do not use reversing harnesses. Using reversing Y-harnesses or servo extensions may cause servos to operate erratically or not function at all.

AR630+ Port Assignments

• Bind/Prog/SRXL2= Bind, Aux Device Support, Program
• 1 Throttle
• 2 Aileron
• 3 Elevator
• 4 Nose Wheel Steering
• 5 Gear
• 6 Aux 1

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Programming the AR630+ receiver requires a Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter with Forward Programming. Forward programming is only available in DSMX.

Binding

The AR630+ receiver must be bound to your transmitter before it will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter.

1. Push and hold the bind button on the receiver while turning the receiver on. Release the bind button once the orange LED starts to flash continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.

TIP: It is still possible to use a bind plug in the bind port if desired. This can come in handy if the receiver needs to be mounted in a location that is difficult to access, in which case a servo extension may be used for binding. If using a bind plug, remove after binding to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.

1. Put your transmitter in bind mode.
2. The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver is solid.

Failsafe

If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to the preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move collectively and actively to place the aircraft in a slow descending turn.

Testing Failsafe

Secure the aircraft on the ground. Test Failsafe settings by turning the transmitter RF output off and noting how the receiver drives the control surfaces.

Receiver Power Only

• The servo ports will not have a control signal if the receiver is turned on when no transmitter signal is present.
• All channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the transmitter.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

We recommend the Spektrum™ 4S 2200mAh 14.8V 30C LiPo battery (SPMX22004S30), for standard operation. If using a different battery, the battery should be of similar capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum LiPo battery pack. Always be sure the model balances at the recommended CG with the battery chosen.

1. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape (A) to the bottom of your battery.
2. Install a small piece of the hook side of the hook and loop inside the fuselage where the battery will sit. Don't make this too big or the battery will be difficult to remove.
3. Carefully lift the back of the canopy hatch (B) to remove.
4. Install the fully charged battery in the battery compartment as shown. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
5. Make sure the flight battery is secured.
6. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
7. Connect the battery to the ESC (C) (the ESC is now armed).
8. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.

The ESC will sound a series of tones. If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is connected, recharge or replace the battery.

1. Reinstall the canopy hatch.

SAFE® Select Switch Designation

SAFE® Select technology can be easily assigned to any open switch (two or three position) on the transmitter. With this feature, you now have the flexibility to switch the SAFE feature on and off while in flight.

IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that channel is set at 100% in both direction.

Assigning a Switch

1. Bind the aircraft correctly to activate SAFE Select. This will allow the system to be assigned to a switch.
2. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the desired switch five times (one toggle = full up and down) to assign that switch. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been selected.

Repeat the process to assign a different switch if desired. If no switch is assigned, SAFE will be active at all times.

TIP: SAFE Select is assignable on any unused Channels 5-9.

Clevis Installation and Control Centering

Clevis Adjustment

• Slide the clevis retainer off the clevis to adjust the position on the control horn.
• Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn.
• Slide the clevis retainer back onto the clevis to secure the clevis to the control horn.

Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages. If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn. After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0 (zero), then adjust the clevises to center the control surfaces.

Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings

The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.

NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to your receiver manual for adjustment of gain values.

After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response. See the table to the right.

Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S30).

The battery can be moved forward or back to adjust the CG.

NOTICE: Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result.

88mm +/- 3mm back from leading edge of wing at the fuselage.

Control Surface Direction

Ailerons

Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the ailerons. View the aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions.

1. Move the right stick to the left. The left aileron will move up and the right aileron move down, causing the aircraft to bank left.
2. Move the right stick to the right. The left aileron will move down and the right aileron move up, causing the aircraft to bank right.

Elevators

1. Move the right stick toward the bottom of the transmitter. The elevators will move up, causing the aircraft to climb.
2. Move the right stick toward the top of the transmitter. The elevators will move down, causing the aircraft to pitch down.

AS3X Control Direction Test (BNF Basic)

This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test.

1. Hold the aircraft and raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from the aircraft, as these items could become entangled.

1. 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. Check receiver orientation and AS3X programming.

Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.

In Flight Trimming (BNF Basic)

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 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.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Range Check your Radio System

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.

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), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some flight conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft facing into the wind. Set your transmitter in low rate. Gradually increase the throttle to 3¼ and steer with the rudder. As the plane reaches flying speed, pull back gently on the elevator. When airborne, climb to a comfortable altitude.

Flying

For your first flights with the recommended battery pack (SPMX22004S30), set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3 minutes. After three minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model. If at any time the motor power reduces, land the aircraft immediately to recharge the flight battery. See the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) section for more details on maximizing battery health and run time.

Landing

Land the aircraft into the wind. Use a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Lower the throttle to 14.

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.

Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed enough to prevent scraping the wingtips.

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 reduces power supplied to the motor showing that some battery power is low but there is still enough reserved for flight control and safe landing.

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 long storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge never falls 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.

Post Flight

1. 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.
6. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
7. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.

Power Components Service

CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service.

Disassembly

1. Carefully remove the lower cover to gain access to the ESC. It is held on with flexible glue that can be gently pulled away.
2. Disconnect the motor connectors from the ESC.
3. To access the motor/fan unit, remove the two screws (one on each side).
4. Disassemble the motor/fan as needed.
   • Assembly in reverse order.
   • Make sure the spinner is fully seated on the fan blade for safe operation.
   • Make sure you match the colors on the ESC wires with the colors on the motor.

Pack the Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note that original boxes may be included, but are not designed to withstand the rigors of shipping without additional protection. Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and insurance for lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is not responsible for merchandise until it arrives and is accepted at our facility.

If you do not have internet access, please contact Horizon Product Support to obtain a RMA number along with instructions for submitting your product for service. When calling Horizon, you will be asked to provide your complete name, street address, email address and phone number where you can be reached during business hours. When sending product into Horizon, please include your RMA number, a list of the included items, and a brief summary of the problem. A copy of your original sales receipt must be included for warranty consideration. Be sure your name, address, and RMA number are clearly written on the outside of the shipping carton.

NOTICE: Do not ship LiPo batteries to Horizon. If you have any issue with a LiPo battery, please contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Warranty Requirements

For Warranty consideration, you must include your original sales receipt verifying the proof-of-purchase date. Provided warranty conditions have been met, your Product will be serviced or replaced free of charge. Service or replacement decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service

Should your service not be covered by warranty, service will be completed and payment will be required without notification or estimate of the expense unless the expense exceeds 50% of the retail purchase cost. By submitting the item for service you are agreeing to payment of the service without notification. Service estimates are available upon request. You must include this request with your item submitted for service. Non-warranty service estimates will be billed a minimum of 12 hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return freight. Horizon accepts money orders and cashier's checks, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards. By submitting any item to Horizon for service, you are agreeing to Horizon's Terms and Conditions found on our website http://www.horizonhobby.com/content/service-center_render-service-center.

ATTENTION: Horizon service is limited to Product compliant in the country of use and ownership. If received, a non-compliant Product will not be serviced. Further, the sender will be responsible for arranging return shipment of the un-serviced Product, through a carrier of the sender's choice and at the sender's expense.
