Servo Selection and Installation ARF
The recommended servos for this aircraft are the Spektrum A332 9g Sub-Micro
Metal Geared Servo (SPMSA332). If you choose to install different servos, ensure
they have the same or better specications for torque and speed, at a similar
weight.
Recommended servo wiring
Servo Installation
1. Locate the servo positions and mark the servo mounting holes.
2. Drill a 1/16” (1.5mm) pilot hole for each mounting screw.
3. Thread one of the included M2.6 x 8mm self tapping screws to cut threads into
all the servo mounting screw holes with a Phillips screwdriver (PH#0), remove
the screw.
4. Apply one drop of thin CA glue to each screw hole. Allow the CA to cure, do not
use accelerator. Repeat this process for all servo mounting locations.
5. Pull the servo leads through the wing where required with the string that comes
pre-installed in the wing.
TIP: If the string comes out and you need to re-route a lead through the wing, tie a
small nut or other small weight to the end of a string. Hold the wing vertically and
insert the weighted end of the string in the servo mounting hole. Feed the string
into the wing, and angle the wing to use gravity to pull the weighted line through
the wing.
6. Install the servos as shown, with the output shaft oriented toward the front of
the model in all mounting locations.
7. Secure the servos in place with the included M2.6 x 8mm self tapping screws
using a Phillips screwdriver (PH#0).
8. Select a servo arm with output hole spacing matching the chart under
Control Horn And Servo Arm Settings.
9. Disconnect the clevis from the control horn on the tail if neccesary to give
you more room to work. Remove the servo arm from the servo. Connect the
pushrod to the servo arm at the selected hole and secure in place with a snap
connector.
10.Center the servo, and install the servo arm in a centered position with the servo
arm 90° to the pushrod at neutral.
11.Reconnect the clevis to the control horn on the control surface.

the table at the right.
2. Using high quality double-sided servo tape,(not included) mount the receiver to
the at area behind the battery compartment, as shown. The receiver should
be mounted in the orientation shown, parallel to the length of the fuselage,
with the label facing up and the servo ports facing the front of the aircraft. The
orientation of the receiver is critical for all AS3X and SAFE technology setups.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
Antenna Installation
The AR631 receiver has a coaxial style antenna. We recommend installing the
antenna as shown in the illustration and as far as possible from metal, batteries,
or carbon ber to maximize signal reception performance. The antenna should be
routed through the tube mounted on the side of the fuselage, as shown.
NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to the coaxial portion
of an antenna will reduce the performance of the antenna. Shortening or cutting
off the 31mm tip will reduce the range.

General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling and Disabling SAFE Select BNF
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of ight 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 congured 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 ight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding.
This process denes the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible transmitters.
• The included receiver has been specically 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 ash 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 ofce.
SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible transmitters.
To Enable SAFE Select To Enable SAFE Select

Control Surface Centering
1. After assembly and transmitter setup, conrm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered, bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the rst
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.
2. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
3. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
4. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.
5. If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of
the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming
The Spektrum™Smart 2200mAh 4S 50C Li-Po battery (SPMX224S50) is
recommended for best performance. A 3S or 4S 2200-4000mAh LiPo battery
with an IC3 or EC3 connector is required, 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 pack to t in the fuselage.
Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before ying.
WARNING: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement. If your
transmitter supports it, always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft
any time a battery is connected.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Lift up on the rear of the hatch up to remove the hatch from the fuselage.
3. Install the fully charged battery in the middle of the battery compartment, as
shown. Secure using the hook and loop strap.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
5. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
• If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the ight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
6. Reinstall the hatch.

SAFE®Select Switch Designation BNF
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to y in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
TIP: If model has a reversing ESC feature, Aux2 is not available for SAFE select.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, rst verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between
5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal,
not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual
rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch
to a channel.
Assigning a Switch
1. Power on the transmitter.

Propeller and Spinner Installation
WARNING: Never install a cracked, nicked or otherwise damaged
propeller or spinner.
NOTICE: If the propeller is not balanced, the aircraft may vibrate, causing the
stabilization system to not operate correctly and/or decrease the life of the servos.
1. Install the spinner backplate onto the prop adapter.
2. Install the propeller, ensuring the embossed size numbers are facing forward.
3. Install the 6mm washer and loosely install the M6 propeller nut. The spinner
is keyed to the backplate, so you need to ensure the propeller is clocked to t
the spinner cutouts. Test t the spinner and ensure the propeller blades are
centered in the spinner cutouts. Allowing the spinner to contact the propeller
may cause damage to the propeller and may lead to failure of the propeller.
4. Get a rm grip on the propeller, spinner backplate and motor to hold them
secure while tightening the nut. Tighten the nut using an adjustable or 11mm
wrench. Do not overtighten the prop nut as damage to the propeller or threads
may result.
5. Install the spinner and secure with the M2.6 x 10mm screws using a Phillips
screwdriver (PH#1).
IMPORTANT: Tighten until secure, but avoid over tightening the spinner screws.
The spinner cone may become deformed and not spin truly if over-tightened.
WARNING: After installation, thoroughly test the propeller with the model
facing away from yourself and others. If a propeller is not installed
securely it may y off when the motor spins, and could cause bodily injury.
Motor Direction ARF
After installing your electronics, verify the motor is rotatimg the correct direction. It
should rotate clockwise (viewed in the direction of ight).
If you need to reverse the motor direction, disconnect the battery rst.
Reverse the motor direction by exchanging any two of the three motor wires.
Secure motor wires so they are out of the way, and not rubbing on the motor.

Dual Rates and Control Throws
Program your transmitter to set the rates and control throws to the values given.
These values have been tested and are a good starting point to achieve successful
ight.
After ying, you may choose to adjust the values for the desired control response.

Flying Tips and Repairs
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ying location.
Flying Field
Always choose a wide-open space for ying your aircraft. It is recommended you
y at a designated RC ying eld. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires
and buildings. Avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such as parks,
schoolyards, or soccer elds.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specic transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Understanding Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the rst time),
you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some
ight conditions, you will see oscillation. If oscillation occurs, decrease airspeed. If
oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Takeoff
For your rst ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust
your timer for longer or shorter ights once you have own the model.
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Select low rates for
rst takeoff and gradually increase the throttle to 3/4 to full and steer with the
rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude.
Flying
Fly the airplane and trim it for level ight at 3/4 throttle. After landing, adjust the
linkages mechanically to account for trim changes and then reset the trims to
neutral. Ensure the aircraft will y straight and level with no trim or sub-trim.
Landing
To land the aircraft, reduce the throttle to 1/4 and y the airplane down to about
a foot above the ground. Reduce power and add back pressure on the elevator to
are the airplane. Avoid holding too much elevator after touchdown to prevent the
plane from becoming airborne again. Gently steer with the rudder until the plane
has slowed. Avoid sharp turns on the ground until the plane has slowed enough to
prevent scraping the wing tips.
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 nished ying, 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 ight 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
ight 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 ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after ying by using a
Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the wood material this aircraft is constructed of, repairs to the structure
can be made using virtually any adhesive (wood glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). After
repair, use adhesive backed or iron on covering material to patch the repair.
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.
SAFE Select Flying Tips BNF
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 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 devia-
tions. 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, 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.

During your rst ight, trim the aircraft for level ight at 3/4 throttle with aps up.
Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the
aircraft’s ight 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 ight performance.
