Arming the ESC and Receiver

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but
subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below.
AS3X
The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased
for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move
rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery
is disconnected.
NOTICE: Due to increased servo power demands, only use the 60-Amp Pro
Switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC (EFA1060B V2) with the AR635 receiver. Use
of any other ESC presently available may result in damage to the aircraft.
DO NOT connect the battery while the throttle stick is at full or the ESC will go
into programming mode. If a musical tone sounds after 5 seconds, immedi-
ately disconnect the battery, then lower the throttle. Refer to the ESC manual
(available separately) for more information.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Remove the battery hatch and install the flight battery to the hook and
loop strip, then connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.
3. Power on the ESC switch on the right side of the aircraft. Keep the aircraft
immobile on its wheels away from wind for 5 seconds.
•
The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 4 of the
binding instructions for more information).
•
An LED will light on the receiver (the red, blue and green gain
LEDs will also flash).
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
For further explanation of the gain lights, refer to the “Initializing the AR635”
section of the AR635 receiver manual.
1. Install the landing gear (
A) with the wheel pants pointed to the rear as
shown.
2. Install the covers (
B) and fairings (C) on the landing gear strut and fuselage
using 4 screws (
D).
3. When needed, disassemble in reverse order.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from
the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.

The ESC switch enables you to easily disarm the propeller while
you are not flying, but will still draw current from the battery.
Tip
Carefully support the aircraft while installing or removing screws.
