Rudder Installation 1. Slide the rudder’s CA hinges (A) in the hinge slots (B) of the vertical stabilizer, leaving a 0.5mm gap between the fin and rudder. Note the locations of the hinges before the next step. You may find it helpful to mark them with a piece of low-tack tape.

Wing Installation 1. Align the two tabs in the center of the wing (A) with the holes in the fuselage and slide the wing into place. Ensure the wing tip LEDs, aileron servos and flap servos connectors are free and accessible in the fuselage, and are not pinched between wing and fuselage when the wing is fully seated.

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to yourself and others. • Wear safety glasses whenever in the proximity of a spinning propeller. • Do not operate the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection We recommend the Spektrum 1300mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (SPMX13003S30M). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other suitable batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage.
Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge where the wing meets the fuselage. This CG location has been determined with the recommended 3S 1300mAh battery (SPMX13003S30M). Check the CG with the model upright. Adjust the battery forward or aft as needed to achieve the proper CG location. CAUTION: Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG.
Control Direction Test Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate Transmitter Command Control SurfaceResponse the aileron, elevator and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions. Elevator 1. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.
Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Clevis IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering. While SAFE is inactive, mechanically center the control surfaces. IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the SAFE system requires sub-trim and trim at 0. After binding a transmitter to the receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, ensure the servo arms are in the correct positions, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces.
In-Flight Trimming During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 80-100% throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to achieve straight and level flight. If the model does not track straight on the ground, adjust the nosewheel position by altering the length of the nosewheel pushrod.
