Control Surface Direction
Control Surface Centering
Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate
the aileron and elevator controls. View the aircraft from the rear when checking
the control directions.
Ailerons
1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The right aileron should move down and the
left aileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank left.
2. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the left
aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.

After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered up bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time
after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft
movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
3. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered
4. 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.
Elevators
3. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause the
aircraft to pitch up.
4. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which will
cause the aircraft to pitch down.

Select Switch Designation
(BNF)
SAFE
®
Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position) controlling a
channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch, SAFE select ON gives you the
flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while in flight. If the aircraft is bound with
SAFE select OFF, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
IMPORTANT:
Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that channel
is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are all on high
rate with the travel at 100%.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the aircraft
securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
TIP:
SAFE Select is assignable on any unused Channels 5–9. See your transmitter manual
for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP:
Use you radio channel monitor to confirm that the 4 primary channels are showing
100% travel while assigning the switch.
TIP:
Use the channel monitor to make sure that the switch you are assigning for SAFE
Select is active and driving a ch between 5-9 and that it is traveling 100% in each
direction.
TIP:
Make sure your 4 primary channels are not reversed if having trouble assigning a
SAFE Select switch.
Assigning a switch
1. Bind the aircraft to choose SAFE Select ON. 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
5 times (1 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 or to deactivate the current switch if desired.
