Model Assembly
Landing Gear Installation
1. Remove the screw (2mm x 15mm) on the bottom of the fuselage and remove the
landing gear cover.
2. Install the six mounting screws (2mm x 10mm) and three landing gear mounting
clamps as shown.
3. Reinstall the landing gear cover and tighten the fuselage screw (2mm x 15mm).
4. Install the nose wheel, aligning the flat area on the nose gear with the set screw
in the nose gear bracket.
TIP:
The steering arm for the water rudder can be removed when flying with
wheeled landing gear if desired.
5. Tighten the set screw.
TIP:
Apply a drop of CA to the landing gear strut covers and nose gear set screw, if
desired.
Horizontal Tail Installation
1. Slide the horizontal stabilizer into place within the vertical fin, inserting it with the
elevator control horn on the bottom of the stabilizer and the right side of the fuselage.
2. Install two screws (2mm x 10mm) on each side of the horizontal tail, as shown.
3. Move the elevator up and down several times. If the elevator joiner binds against
the fuselage, continue to flex it until the binding is eliminated to allow for proper
movement.
TIP:
Check and tighten any screws securing the control horns as needed.
Do not overtighten the screws as it could damage the control surface
and/or control horn.
4. Snap the elevator clevis into place, then snap the rudder clevis into place, if needed.
5. Slide the horizontal stabilizing fins into place.
TIP:
You may apply a drop of CA to secure the horizontal stabilizing fins, if desired.

SAFE
®
Select Technology
(BNF Basic)
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can
offer an extra level of protection in flight. Use the following instructions to make the
SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select
prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and
automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane flying in a straight and level attitude when
the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.
SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. When the airplane is
bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between SAFE
Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X
®
technology remains active with no banking
limits or self leveling any time SAFE Select is disabled or OFF.
SAFE Select can be configured three ways:
• SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
• SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
• SAFE Select On with a switch assigned: Assigned switch toggles between
SAFE Select mode and AS3X mode
