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

Control Horn Locations and Surface Centering

Control Horn Locations
The elevator, rudder, and aileron linkages should be connected to the center hole of the control horns, as shown in the illustrations.

Surface Centering
Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered.
2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully adjust the wire linkage (see illustration).
3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the linkage shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.
4. Use care when adjusting the wire. Proceed slowly, as it is possible to break the wire if too much force is applied.

Control Direction Test

Test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling and the controls function in the correct directions.

Ailerons
Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the left aileron down. This will cause the aircraft to bank to the right in flight.
Move the aileron stick to the left. The left aileron should move up and the right aileron down. This will cause the aircraft to bank to the left in flight.

Elevator
Pull the elevator stick back. The elevator should move up. This will cause the nose of the aircraft to pitch up in flight.
Push the elevator stick forward. The elevator should move down. This will cause the nose of the aircraft to pitch down in flight.

Rudder
Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should move to the right. This will cause the aircraft to yaw to the right in flight.
Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should move to the left. This will cause the aircraft to yaw to the left in flight.

Before Your First Flight
Before attempting to fly this aircraft for the first time, we recommend using the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator (RFL1205, not included), to learn and practice the basics of flying. A spektrum transmitter may be connected to a PC for simulator use with a standard USB-C cable. Featuring six popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons, new pilots can learn to fly successfully by practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
We also encourage you to connect with experienced RC pilots in your area through hobby shops or at designated flying fields. For those located in the United States, we recommend joining a national organization such as the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA can provide information on local clubs, instructors and established flying sites in your area in addition to insurance coverage. Visit www.modelaircraft.org for more information.

Transmitter Trims

The included transmitter features digital trim buttons next to the control sticks to make fine adjustments during flight.
The transmitter beeps when a trim button is pressed. The tone changes slightly when the trim value is centered.
To quickly re-center the trims, press both the left and right sticks at the same time.
If the aircraft drifts right or left in flight, use the opposite direction aileron trim button correct the drift. For example,
if the aircraft drifts right in flight, press and release the left aileron trim button until the aircraft no longer drifts.
If the aircraft climbs or dives during flight, press and release the down or up trim buttons until the aircraft flies level.
If there is not enough digital trim available, mechanically adjust the control linkages to adjust the surfaces.

Flying
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in no greater than light winds. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings.
Avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
TIP: This aircraft can normally fly 6-8 minutes on a fully charged flight battery. This time will vary pending on your flying style, flight conditions and the condition of your battery.

Hand Launching
To hand launch the aircraft, place the aircraft in Beginner mode (only/always), and grip the fuselage immediately behind the wing. Advance to full throttle and give the aircraft a firm throw, slightly up (5–10 degrees above the horizon), and directly into the wind. After the model gains altitude and speed, decrease the throttle as you desire.

Takeoff
Taxi the aircraft in position for takeoff facing into the wind. Gradually increase the throttle to full power. Hold a small amount of up elevator and steer with the rudder.
When the aircraft lifts off, climb gently and adjust the trim for level flight. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the flight envelope of the aircraft.

Landing
Always land into the wind. Use throttle management to control the descent rate of the aircraft.
During flare, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Slowly lower the throttle while easing back on the elevator to bring the aircraft gently down on the main wheels.
NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle at touch down when landing the aircraft. Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit.
Crash damage is not covered under warranty. Repair this aircraft using CA glue or clear tape.

• Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until adhesive fully dries.

Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Flight Modes

You control the help SAFE® technology provides while you learn to fly. As your flying skills grow, decrease SAFE technology assistance. Change aircraft response at any time by moving the Channel 5 (SAFE flight mode) switch on your transmitter.
IMPORTANT: These instructions are for the included transmitter.

Activating SAFE Technology
Once the SAFE technology is active, the control surfaces may move on the aircraft. This is normal. The SAFE technology will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

Launch and Landing Assistance
Take off and landings can be better managed by using Beginner mode. If the model is launched incorrectly, or is landing at a less than perfect attitude, switch to Beginner mode. The model can correct and help to prevent a crash.
See the Take Off and Landing sections in this manual.

If you get into distress while flying in Intermediate or Experienced mode (0), flip the switch to Beginner SAFE technology will return the aircraft to a stable attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufficient height with no obstacles in its path.

SAFE Technology makes this aircraft a better learning tool, but you must set yourself up for success in flying:

• SAFE technology is designed as flight assistance, not an autopilot. The pilot is always in control and required to fly the aircraft at all times
• Follow the instructions provided in this manual to maintain your aircraft in top flying condition
• Seek qualified model flying instruction through your local model flying club. A qualified flight instructor can propel your advancement in this hobby
• Wind and environment can affect SAFE technology flight performance
• Ensure you have no distractions so you benefit from every moment of flight time
• You must still fly the aircraft away from obstacles and at an altitude that will allow for a safe recovery

SAFE technology is a revolutionary flight training system designed to give you a stable platform for safely developing your flying skills. This is not an autopilot or self-guiding system. The sensors and software in this system help you fly the aircraft where you want to go while decreasing the risk of an out- of-control crash. You can progress through the Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes as your skills increase. At any time during a flight you can switch between the 3 flight modes to explore the different flight attitueds. If you lose control while flying in Intermediate or Experienced mode switch to Beginner mode to return your aircraft to a safe flying attitude.

SAFE Flight Modes

Beginner Mode

• Envelope limit: Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne.
• Self-leveling: when the pitch and roll controls are returned to neutral, the aircraft returns to level flight.
• Stability assisted takeoff and landing.
• Throttle based climb and descent.

Intermediate Mode

• Natural Flight Experience: Pitch and roll controls are increased. Self leveling is still active, but slower than in Beginner mode.
• Larger Flight Envelope: Greater flight attitudes are possible.

Experienced Mode

• Natural Flight Experience: The pilot experiences natural flight for smooth handling and outstanding precision.
• Unlimited Flight Envelope: No limit on pitch and roll angles.

SAFE System Calibration

1. Place the aircraft on a flat horizontal surface.
2. Lower the throttle stick completely.
3. Power ON the transmitter, then connect the flight battery to the aircraft.
4. Do not move the throttle.
5. Move and hold the transmitter sticks to the position shown in the image until the transmitter beeps.

Aerobatics Button

The Aerobatics button activates aerobatic mode in the aircraft. While in flight, press the aerobatics button, the transmitter will beep several times. During the beeping, move the aileron stick left or right to make the aircraft roll. Or move the elevator stick up or down to make the aircraft loop.
