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
(EFLB22003S300).
Tip: Measure the CG with the aircraft inverted.

AS3X Control Direction Test

This test ensures that the AS3X
Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before
performing this test.
1. 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 a
moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.
IMPORTANT: The AR636A receiver programming for this aircraft increases
control surface movement when landing gear is down.
2. 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 fl y the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more
information.
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

During your fi rst fl ight, trim the aircraft for level fl ight at 3/4 throttle with
fl aps and gear up. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter's trim
switches to straighten the aircraft's fl ight 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.
Failure to do so could affect fl ight performance.
