Transmitter Setup

IMPORTANT: Transmitter features, functions, and settings not listed in the transmitter setup table should remain at the default settings. These transmitter tables show the basic steps needed to complete the setup. For more detailed transmitter setup information please refer to your transmitter’s manual.
We recommend using the transmitter setup provided. When using the recommended setup, these are the details of the control inputs;

  • The GEAR Channel (Ch 5, default switch A) selects SAFE/AS3X mode.

  • The Aux 1 Channel (Ch 6, default switch D) controls the wing sweep mechanism. The wing sweep mechanism is not proportional, it uses three predetermined positions.*

  • Switch C is configured for elevator dual rates.

  • Switch F is configured for aileron dual rates.

  • Switch H is configured for throttle cut.

  • The rudder stick controls nose wheel steering, there are no rudders for flight controls.

  • When the aircraft is powered ON the wing sweep (Aux1) switch has to be in the same position as the wings before the wing sweep will function. The wings will not move until the wing position and switch position align. If they are both in the same position when powered ON they will move together from the start.
    Trim
    Our recommended setup uses trims tied to flight modes. With both trims and wing sweep tied to flight modes (Switch D), you can independently trim the aileron and elevator for each wing sweep position. We recommended this configuration for this F-14 aircraft to account for trim changes which may occur in different wing sweep positions.

Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights at a low rate. For landings, use a high rate elevator. NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly do not lower rate values below 50%.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Exponential
After the first flights, adjust the expo in your transmitter to suit your flying style.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
A 4S 2200mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C LiPo battery (SPMX22004S30) is  recommended. Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended 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. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before flying.

  1. Lower the throttle to the lowest settings. Power ON the transmitter then waits 5 seconds.

  2. Remove the battery hatch.

  3. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the included hook and loop tape to the bottom of your battery, and the hook side to the battery tray.

  4. Install the fully charged battery to the rear of the battery compartment as shown.

  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.
    CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the fan intake. When armed, the motor will turn the rotor in response to any throttle movement.

  6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.

  • The motor will emit a tone when the battery is connected, and then 4 even tones indicating the number of cells connected.
  • The motor will emit a series of tones after the flight controller is initialized.
  • An LED on the flight controller will indicate the flight mode after being initialized.
    Reinstall the battery hatch.

Binding

  1. Power the Aircraft ON.
  2. The receiver in the flight controller will automatically enter bind mode if it does not connect to a transmitter. Bind mode is indicated by flashing blue and red lights.
  3. Put your transmitter into bind mode, the aircraft should connect and establish a bind with your transmitter.
  4. The aircraft must be kept upright and stable to initialize.

Integrated ESC Telemetry

This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can provide information including RPM, voltage, motor current, throttle setting (%), and FET (speed controller) temperature.
For more information about compatible transmitters, firmware updates, and how to use the telemetry technology on your transmitter, visit www.SpektrumRC.com.

Failsafe

If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe move the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move collectively and actively to place the aircraft in a slow descending turn.

SAFE ® Select Technology

When SAFE Select is activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from overcontrolling the aircraft. Additionally, by releasing the controls in the event you lose orientation, SAFE Select will keep the aircraft level. To activate SAFE Select, flip the Gear channel switch (Switch A) to position 0. Return the Gear switch to position 1 to turn OFF SAFE Select and fly with just the assistance of AS3X ® technology. If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in a confusing attitude, flip the Gear switch to position 0 and release the sticks. With the aileron and elevator sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.

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 the SAFE Select functionality. AS3X will still be active when SAFE Select is disabled. SAFE Select cannot be assigned to another channel in this aircraft. Choose to fly with SAFE Select ON or OFF using switch A (by default) when using the suggested transmitter setup. IMPORTANT: Before attempting to disable or enable SAFE Select, ensure the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, and gear channels are all at a high rate with the travel set to 100%. Turn throttle holds OFF if it is programmed in the transmitter.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts clear of the rotor, intake, and exhaust tube 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 transmitters 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 re-enable or disable SAFE Select.
Switch A is used for SAFE Select as shown below on the NX8
TIP: If you prefer to use a different switch to control SAFE Select, you can assign it to another switch in your transmitter by changing the switch assigned to gear/channel 5.
IMPORTANT: We recommend using high rates when flying with SAFE Select ON
Low rates with SAFE Select ON will reduce the pitch and bank angle limits resulting in less control and wider turns in particular.

Control Surface Direction

Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron and elevator controls. Aileron and elevator controls are mixed together on the full flying horizontal stabilizers, creating a taileron configuration. View the aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions.
Ailerons

  1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The right aileron should move down and the left aileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank the 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.
    Elevators

  3. Pull the elevator stick back. Both tailerons should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.

  4. Push the elevator stick forward. Both tailerons should move down, which will cause the aircraft to pitch down.

AS3X Control Response Test

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 to any setting above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology.
    CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair, and loose clothing away from the fan intake, 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.

Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm the control surfaces are centered. The model must be powered up and bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode, keeping the throttle at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power-up. AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.

  1. Verify the trims and sub-trims on your transmitter are zero.
  2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero.
  3. The tailerons need to be aligned with each other and centered. At neutral the leading edge of the aileron should be 5mm above the mold line in the fuselage as shown, while the aircraft is sitting upright and level. The neutral point shown is the recommended starting point for the first flights.
  4. If adjustment is required, remove the lower hatch for access to the servo linkages.
  5. Adjustments to the tailerons may be made individually by disconnecting the ball link from the control horn and adjusting the length of the pushrod.

NOTICE: Be aware of the pushrod bottoming out in the ball linkage. Do not thread the pushrod too far into the ball link or the pushrod will damage the ball link and protrude into the area needed for the control ball.

IMPORTANT: When performing the trim setup and checking the trimmed position after the first flight(s), only check the tailerons and adjust the linkages with the wings in the forward (not swept) position.

Dual Rates and Control Throws

Program your transmitter to set the rates and control throws based on your experience level. These values have been tested and are a good starting point to achieve a successful first flight.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the values for the desired control response.
Taileron Control Throw Measurement
Measure the control throw for the taileron at the leading edge along the fuselage.
IMPORTANT: Always measure control through with the wings in the fully extended position, and in AS3X mode.

Low Rate High Rate
Aileron 13mm
Elevator 10mm

Center of Gravity

WARNING: Install the battery but do not connect it to the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result.
The CG is located at the panel line mark near the wing pivot and is checked with the wings fully extended, as shown below.
The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or backward in the battery compartment.

Landing Gear

The landing gear may be left installed or removed to suit your flying area. We recommend using the landing gear when you can take off and land from a smooth surface. If you are flying from long grass you may choose to remove the landing gear, in which case you will need to hand launch the aircraft and belly land.

Hand Launching

NOTICE: Hand Launching in AS3X mode is not recommended as it may result in a crash. Always hand launch in SAFE mode.

  • We recommend flying without landing gear when hand launching.
  • Always hand launch in SAFE mode, into the wind with wings forward (not swept), at 100% power, at high rates.

When hand launching in SAFE mode, the control unit will immediately sense the force of the launch and will automatically enable the Hand Launch Assist Mode. In this mode the control unit will add up the elevator automatically so the aircraft climbs at a higher angle for a few seconds. It will return to standard SAFE mode shortly after launch.
Grip
We recommend holding the aircraft with a wide grip around the nacelles, near the center of gravity, as shown.

Follow Through
Use an overhand throw and launch with wings level and the nose of the model slightly upwards. Follow through with your hand launch by pointing your fingers at the airplane after the throw. Avoid an arching throw which can pull the nose down at release.

Trimming

The trim process involves trimming for level flight on your transmitter with the wings in the forward position (not swept) and then adjusting the length of the pushrods to reset trim. After adjusting the length of the pushrods, you will need to re-center the trims on your transmitter. The goal is for the model to be as close to mechanically trimmed as possible with the wings in the forward position (not swept). After the initial trimming process, you can trim for mid and fully swept wing positions; each wing position/flight mode will have an independent trim setting in the transmitter when using the recommended transmitter setup.
In-Flight Trimming

  • Always trim in AS3X mode. NEVER trim this or any model in SAFE mode.
  • Fly with the wings in the forward position (not swept) for initial trimming.
  • Flight trim will vary with power settings/speed. Fly at 80% power or above with high rate control throws when trimming.
  • Flight trim will change when flying without landing gear installed. Adjust flight trims accordingly.

Resetting Transmitter Trim After First Flights
After the first flights, it is important to reset your transmitter trims to neutral by following these steps:

  1. Center the tailerons, measure, and note the neutral point you are now using for each taileron after initial trim flights.
  2. Reset the aileron and elevator trims to neutral on the transmitter.
  3. If adjustment is required, remove the lower hatch for access to the servo linkages.
  4. Change the length of the pushrods to set the tailerons to the measured positions from step 1. To change the length of the pushrod, remove the ball link from the control ball and thread the ball link in or out as needed.
  5. Test fly again. Adjust the transmitter trim settings in all wing positions/flight modes (the transmitter trim settings will be different for each wing position which is why flight modes are enabled with the suggested transmitter setups). Adjust the pushrod lengths again if needed to keep the transmitter trim settings as close to neutral as possible with the wings in the forward (not swept) position.

Measure after first flights to determine the trim settings you are using. The model must be powered up and bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode, keeping the throttle at zero, and the measurement should be taken while the aircraft is sitting upright and level.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. The E-flite F-14 Tomcat is relatively small and is capable of high speeds, making it capable of covering ground quickly. We recommend flying at designated RC fields. We recommend pilots have some experience flying high-performance EDF aircraft before flying this model. This aircraft is not recommended as your first ducted fan model.

Getting Started
Before you fly, range checks the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. When you first connect the battery to the airplane AS3X will not be active. After advancing the throttle the first time, the AS3X system will be active and it is normal to see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. For your first flights set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3:30. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model.

Takeoff
Face the aircraft into the wind for takeoff, and set the wings to fully extended. Gradually increase the throttle to full, and steer on the ground with rudder control as necessary to keep the aircraft rolling straight. Be aware the nose wheel will become more sensitive as speed increases. Leave the elevator at neutral and allow the aircraft to accelerate up to speed on the ground, then pull up gently on the elevator to rotate for takeoff. When airborne, climb to a comfortable altitude. Flying For your first flight climb to a moderate altitude and get comfortable with the aircraft while the battery is fresh. Get a feel for the aircraft’s low-speed performance at a safe altitude (approximately 100 feet or more) before being required to make your first landing attempt. Experiment with a high and low-speed flight with the wings swept back and with the wings fully extended. Land the aircraft when the timer expires. 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
Plan to land the aircraft into the wind when possible. Fly downwind and turn into the wind to begin the approach. Extend the wings, and lower the throttle. Having the wings fully extended will allow the aircraft to fly slower and is recommended for landing. Keep the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level during the approach and descent. As the aircraft settles into the final approach you should try to maintain a consistent and slightly nose-high attitude. With the angle maintained during the descent, the speed and descent rate is mostly controlled with small throttle changes. Stay in the throttle to maintain speed and control during descent until the aircraft is ready to flare. As the airplane descends into the ground effect, fully lower the throttle, pull the nose up more to bleed off airspeed (flare), and the aircraft will settle on its wheels. Because there is no rudder, avoid applying rudder control until after touchdown; if you are holding rudder input at touchdown the aircraft will
transition suddenly from no rudder response in the air to a sensitive nosewheel at high speed and the aircraft could veer off the runway.
If landing on grass, it is best to hold a 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 enough to prevent scraping 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 with a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).

Oscillation
For most flight maneuvers the aircraft should fly smoothly and normally, but it is possible 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.

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 the accelerant fully dries.

SAFE Select Flying Tips

When flying in SAFE Select 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 the 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 pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with SAFE Select, 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.
When flying with SAFE Select, the throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend. Full throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid throttle will keep the airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to descend slightly nose-down.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.

Differences between SAFE Select and AS3X modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed, battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

SAFE Select AS3X

1. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (required for safety and battery life).

2. Power of the transmitter.
3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4. Recharge the flight battery to a storage voltage level.
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.

Re-Connecting The Swing Wing Linkage

The wing sweep mechanism is designed to disengage and prevent damage in the event of an impact on the wing. In the event the wing swing mechanism becomes disengaged, the linkage needs to be re-connected to the wing.
To re-connect the wing(s):

  1. Remove the bottom fuselage cover from the bottom of the aircraft.
  2. Use a magnetized screwdriver to remove the four screws from the bottom of the aircraft that holds the top fuselage cover.
  3. Lift at the rear of the top fuselage cover and pull rearward to disengage the clips at the front of the cover, then remove the cover.
  4. Power your transmitter and the aircraft ON and move the wing swing mechanism to the wings fully out position.
  5. Snap the wing swing linkage back together.
  6. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.
  7. Replace the top cover. Insert the two clips at the leading edge of the cover into their respective slots in the fuselage and ensure the hatch is moved forward to fully engage the clips.
  8. Reinstall the screws for the top fuselage cover; tighten the front screws first, and then the rear.
  9. Reinstall the bottom fuselage cover.
  10. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.

  2. Use a magnetized screwdriver to remove the four screws from the bottom of the aircraft that holds the top fuselage cover.
  3. Lift at the rear of the top fuselage cover and pull rearward to disengage the clips at the front of the cover, then remove the cover.
  4. Power your transmitter and the aircraft ON and move the wing swing mechanism to the wings fully out position.
  5. Disengage the wing swing mechanism from the wing
  6. Remove the pivot bolt and rotate the wing off the wing swing mechanism.
  7. Install the new wing on the wing swing mechanism.
  8. Replace the pivot bolt.
  9. Snap the wing swing linkage back together.
  10. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.
  11. Replace the top cover. Insert the two clips at the leading edge of the cover into their respective slots in the fuselage and ensure the hatch is moved forward to fully engage the clips.
  12. Reinstall the screws for the top fuselage cover.
  13. Reinstall the bottom fuselage cover.
  14. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.

Replacing The Taileron

In the event, a taileron needs to be replaced or the taileron control mechanism needs maintenance, the servo linkages need to be reset for the correct center position.
To re-center the full flying taileron(s):

  1. Remove the bottom fuselage cover on the bottom of the aircraft.
  2. Loosen the set screw in the control horn to enable the removal of the taileron. Repair or replace as necessary.
  3. Re-install the taileron and ensure the setscrew is tightened onto the flat spot on the taileron pivot shaft.
  4. Turn ON the transmitter and connect power to the aircraft with the throttle cut activated and in AS3X mode.
  5. Verify the aileron servos are working correctly and the trim is centered. Disconnect the power from the aircraft (linear actuator servos can be set up without power once centered, unlike rotary servos).
  6. Install the pushrod and check the center position.
  7. If the taileron leading edge is not centered with the fuselage seam as described in the Control Surface Centering section, adjust the length of the pushrod.
  8. Do not use electronic trim to make this adjustment, the taileron needs to be mechanically centered with the electronic trim at neutral.

Power System Installation and Service

CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service.
The recommended power system components are given in the Specifications table at the beginning of this manual.

  1. Use a fresh hobby knife to cut along the glue seam for the lower rear fan ducting to reveal the ducted fan unit.
  2. The fan unit is glued in place, remove it by gently twisting the fan enclosure.
  3. Repair or replace the fan parts as necessary.
  4. Reinstall the fan with a small dab of medium or thick CA glue; the fan enclosure is captured in the foam which provides most of the mounting strength.
  5. Install the fan enclosure with small dabs of medium or thick CA glue along the fore/aft seam and along the leading edge of the part.

Replacing a Vertical Stabilizer

In the event the vertical stabilizer(s) needs maintenance, the stabilizer will need to be removed so the replacement can be installed.
To replace the vertical stabilizer(s):

  1. Use a fresh hobby knife to cut out any vertical stabilizer material from the mounting location.
  2. Secure the new vertical stabilizer in place with thick CA.
  3. Be prepared to wipe off any excess glue with a paper towel when you press the stabilizer into place.

Flight Controller Wiring

All the functions of this aircraft are handled in the flight controller. If you need to remove the flight controller it needs to be reinstalled in the same orientation as originally mounted. The servo connectors should be at the rear of the receiver, facing down.

Reference the following diagram for servo and motor connections.

AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code

Effective January 1, 2018
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight within the visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed the 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 aircraft using 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 flight line, 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.
