Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)

IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and

receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.

Dual Rates

Take ﬁrst ﬂights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.

IMPORTANT: To ensure AS3X® technology functions properly, do not lower rate

values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of the

pushrods on the servo arm.

If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Expo

After ﬁrst ﬂights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.

Retractable landing gear

Move the channel 5 (gear) switch to raise or lower the retractable landing gear.

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. 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. 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.

General Binding Tips and Failsafe

• The included receiver has been speciﬁcally programmed for operation of

this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is

replaced.

• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.

• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.

• The red LED on the receiver will ﬂash rapidly when the receiver enters bind

mode.

• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until

you re-bind.

• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.

Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move

to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.

• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the

appropriate Horizon Product Support ofﬁce.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enable or Disable SAFE Select

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling

you to choose the level of ﬂight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and

automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to

the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.

With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select

enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a

switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.

Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be conﬁgured for full-time

SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.

IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual

and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly

programmed for this aircraft.

IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter ﬂight controls (rudder, elevators, and

ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and

during binding. This process deﬁnes the failsafe settings.

You can use either the bind button on the receiver case OR a conventional bind

plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.

SAFE can also be enabled via Forward Programming.

SAFE® Select technology can be easily assigned to any open switch (2 or 3

position) on your transmitter. With this feature, you have the ﬂexibility to enable or

disable the technology while in ﬂight.

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%. Turn throttle hold OFF if

it is programmed in the transmitter.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor, intakes and exhaust

tube and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental

throttle activation.

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 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.

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

Control Surface Centering

During assembly the control surfaces need to be mechanically centered when the

servos are at neutral.

Assemble the model, set up the transmitter, bind the transmitter to the aircraft

receiver, and set the trims and sub-trims to 0. With the model powered on, make

ﬁnal adjustments as needed so all the ﬂight control surfaces are centered.

90° 90°

If adjustment is required:

• Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the correct length

so the control surface is centered.

• Attach the linkage to the control horn after adjustment.

After ﬂying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control

response. See the table below.

NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR631

gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR631 manual for

adjustment of gain values.

Center of Gravity (CG)

NOTICE: Install the battery in the aircraft, but do not arm the ESC while checking

the CG. Personal injury may result.

This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery

(SPMX32006S30) installed.

The CG location is between 90-110mm, measured back from the leading edge of

the wing at the fuselage, with the landing gear down.

Adjust the CG location by moving the battery pack forward or backward in the

battery compartment.

Transmitter command Control Surface Response

Elevator

AileronsRudder

Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate

the aileron, elevator, rudder and ﬂap 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.

2. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which will

cause the aircraft to pitch down.

Ailerons

1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The left aileron should move up and the right

aileron down, 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.

Rudder

1. Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should move to the left, which will

cause the aircraft to yaw left.

2. Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should move to the right, which

will cause the aircraft to yaw right.

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

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ﬂying location.

Range Check your Radio System

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 ¾ and steer with the rudder. As the plane reaches ﬂying

speed, pull back gently on the elevator. When airborne, climb to a comfortable

altitude before retracting the landing gear.

Flying

For your ﬁrst ﬂights with the recommended battery pack (SPMX32006S30), set

your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to three minutes. When the timer expires,

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 ¼ and lower the landing gear. Lowering the landing

gear will help slow the aircraft for landing.

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.

If landing on grass, it is best to hold full up elevator after touchdown and when

taxiing to prevent the nose from digging in.

Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed sufﬁciently to

prevent tipping and scraping of the wingtips.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully. 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 removes power supplied to the

motor. Power to the motor reduces, showing that some battery power is 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 storage.

During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall 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

Smart LiPo Battery Checker and Servo Driver (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 the paint. DO NOT

handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

Post Flight

1. Disconnect the ﬂight battery from the ESC.

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.

AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code

Effective January 1, 2018

A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained ﬂight within visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed limitations of this code

and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model ﬂights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and related AMA

guidelines, any additional rules speciﬁc to the ﬂying site, as well as all applicable laws and regulations.

As an AMA member I agree:

• I will not ﬂy a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.

• I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human-carrying

aircraftusing AMA’s See and Avoid Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.

• I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the inﬂuence of alcohol

or any drug that could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.

• I will avoid ﬂying directly over unprotected people,

moving vehicles, and occupied structures.

• I will ﬂy Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in

compliance with AMA’s safety programming.

• I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement

other than corrective lenses prescribed to me. When using an advanced

ﬂight system, such as an autopilot, or ﬂying First-Person View (FPV),

I will comply with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.

• I will only ﬂy models weighing more than 55 pounds, including

fuel, if certiﬁed through AMA’s Large Model Airplane Program.

• I will only ﬂy a turbine-powered model aircraft in

compliance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.

• I will not ﬂy a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual,

except for myself or my helper(s) located at the ﬂightline, unless I am taking

off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.

• I will use an established safety line to separate all model

aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.

Geschwindigkeitswerte nicht unter 50% senken. Werden niedrigere

Geschwindigkeiten gewünscht, die Position der Gestänge auf dem Servoarm

manuell anpassen.

SAFE Select-Technologie (BNF Basic)

Die evolutionäre SAFE Select-Technologie bieten ein zusätzliches Schutzniveau,

sodass Sie Ihren ersten Flug mit Zuversicht durchführen können. Es ist

keine komplexe Senderprogrammierung erforderlich. Einfach den einfachen

Bindungsvorgang befolgen, um das SAFE Select-System zu aktivieren. Bei

der Aktivierung verhindern die Begrenzungen bei Schräglage und Neigung ein

Übersteuern und die automatische Selbstausrichtung erleichtert das Abfangen

aus riskanten oder unübersichtlichen Positionen durch das Loslassen der

Steuerknüppel. So wird SAFE Select das Flugzeug automatisch in einer geraden

und ausgerichteten Position halten, wenn sich die Steuerknüppel für Querruder,

Höhenruder und Seitenruder in neutraler Position beﬁnden.

Erweitern Sie die Vorteile von dem, was die SAFE Select-Technologie zu bieten

hat, indem Sie ihr einen Schalter zuweisen. Die Programmierung des Senders

ist nicht erforderlich und Sie können durch das Umlegen eines Schalters das

System ein- und ausschalten. Schalten Sie das System während des Flugs aus,

um unbegrenzte Kunstﬂugeigenschaften durchzuführen, und schalten Sie es

wieder ein, wenn ein Freund Ihr tolles Flugzeug ausprobieren möchte. Schalten

Sie SAFE Select für das Landen ein. Es wird während der Landung die korrekte

Neigungsposition und die Flügel ausgerichtet halten. Egal ob Sie Anfänger oder

Experte sind, SAFE Select kann Ihre Flüge in eine großartige Erfahrung verwandeln.

Wird der normale Bindungsprozess befolgt, so wird das SAFE Select-System

deaktiviert und stattdessen die AS3X-Technologie eingeschaltet, um eine reine,

unbegrenzte Flugerfahrung zu liefern.
