Product Usage Instructions
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will
not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight battery
from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the
battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to
the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and
servos to land the airplane. When the motor power decreases, land
the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the flight
battery.
Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the
transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
IMPORTANT: Flap to elevator mix values, control throws, dual
rates, exponential, CG range are recommended as STARTING POINTS and
should be adjusted for personal preference as/if needed after
making initial flights. If your transmitter allows it, enable the
throttle cut feature. Always engage throttle cut before approaching
the aircraft.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a
charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge
using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell,
the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to
the receiver and servos to land the airplane. When the motor power decreases,
land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the flight battery.
Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
IMPORTANT: Flap to elevator mix values, control throws, dual rates,
exponential, CG range are recommended as STARTING POINTS and should be
adjusted for personal preference as/if needed after making initial flights. If
your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle cut feature. Always engage
throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.
Dual Rates
Low rate is recommended for the initial flights.
NOTICE: 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.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each
flight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make
sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Failure to unplug a
connected battery will result in trickle discharge.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust exponential in your transmitter.
Transmitter Telemetry Setup
If the transmitter that you intend to use with this aircraft is not displaying
telemetry data, visit Spektrumrc.com and update your firmware. With the latest
firmware installed on your transmitter the telemetry option should now be
functional on your transmitter.

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 orange 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 / Switching ON and OFF 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.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming
We recommend the SpektrumTM 14.8V 2200mAh 4S 30C Smart LiPo Battery: IC3
(SPMX22004S30). Refer to the Optional Accessories list for additional
recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery
should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the
recommended battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Ensure the model balances at
the recommended CG.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will
turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter.
2. Pull the hatch latch aft to release the hatch, and lift the hatch rear up.
3. For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook
and loop tape to the bottom of the battery and the hook side to the battery
tray.
4. Install a fully charged battery in the middle of the battery compartment,
as shown. Secure it using the hook and loop straps.
5. Connect the battery to the ESC. If you have not completed the bind
sequence, do so at this time as outlined in this manual.
6. On a flat surface, keep the aircraft immobile, upright and out of the wind
or the system will not initialize. · The motor emits a steady beep when the
battery is connected, then 4 tones (indicating the number of connected cells)
followed by a rising tone to indicate the ESC is armed. · An LED will light on
the receiver when it is initialized.
7. Reinstall the battery hatch.
SAFE® Select Technology
The E-flite Piper Cherokee has two flight modes controlled by Channel 5, SAFE
and AS3X. Switch A is the Spektrum default for channel 5. Position 0 is SAFE,
Position 1 is AS3X only.
When flying in SAFE mode, the aircraft will return to level flight any time
the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator
control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick
is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control
will push the aircraft to the predetermined bank and pitch limits, but it will
not go past those angles.
When flying in SAFE mode, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected
with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with
SAFE, avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for
minor deviations. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft
to fly at a specific angle, and the model will make all corrections to
maintain that flight attitude.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE
mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into AS3X
mode, the control inputs used for SAFE mode will be excessive for AS3X mode
and the aircraft will react immediately.
Differences Between SAFE and AS3X Modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight
speed, battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

Disabling and Enabling SAFE Select
By default, the SAFE Select function of your aircraft is enabled and assigned
to the gear channel switch (channel 5). If you do not wish to have access to
SAFE Select while flying, you can choose to disable SAFE Select functionality.
AS3X will still be active when SAFE Select is disabled.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to disable or enable SAFE Select, ensure the
aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle and gear channels are all on high rate
with the travel set to 100%. Turn throttle hold OFF if it is programmed in the
transmitter.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts clear of the propeller, and keep the aircraft
securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the
Gear switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down). The control surfaces of the
aircraft will move, indicating SAFE Select has been enabled or disabled.
Repeat the process to disable or enable or disable SAFE Select. The aircraft
will cycle both ailerons up and down to indicate a change has been made.

AS3X Control Response Test (BNF Basic)
This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly.
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. 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 fly 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.

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
(SPMX22004S30). Measure the CG with the aircraft inverted.
In Flight Trimming
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 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.
Flying Field
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your aircraft. It is recommended
that you fly at a designated RC flying field. Always avoid flying near houses,
trees, wires and buildings. Avoid flying in areas where there are many people,
such as parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific
transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
Understanding 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 will see oscillation. If oscillation occurs,
decrease airspeed. If oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Set your
transmitter in low rate and gradually increase the throttle from ¾ to full and
steer with the rudder. As the airplane gains speed, gently pull back on the
elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude. You may also set flaps to half
travel for shorter takeoffs.
Flying
Fly the airplane and trim it for level flight at ¾ throttle with flaps up.
After adjusting trim in flight do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds.
This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X
performance.
Landing
TIP: To prevent damage to the landing gear wheel pants, remove them when
landing the aircraft in tall grass.
Make sure to land the aircraft into the wind. Start to slow the model down to
an approach speed and set the flaps to half travel. If landing in windy
conditions, land at half flap travel. If flying in light winds, set flaps to
full for final approach. With flaps and retracts extended, fly the aircraft to
approximately 36 inches (90 cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount
of throttle for the entire descent. 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.
NOTICE: When using flaps with this airplane, down elevator to flap mixing is
required. Failure to do so may result in loss of control or a crash.
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 airplane in direct
sunlight or a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
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 pulses, 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 accelerator on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle
the aircraft until accelerator fully dries.
PNP Receiver Selection and Installation
The Spektrum AR631 receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose to
install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range
receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation
instructions.
