Fly the model at recommended settings before making changes.
The illustration shows linkage positions chosen for the most balanced aerobatic
response and AS3X performance. Linkage connections on the control horns
directly affect aircraft response and AS3X performance.

CAUTION: Extreme 3D Flying is for advanced modelers. Moving linkages

to other positions will require gain adjustment. If you increase the available
travel by moving the linkage in on the control horn, the gain must be reduced to
prevent oscillations in fl ight. Refer to the receiver manual for instructions.

1. Slide the horizontal tail tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage.

2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal tail as shown. Ensure the

control horn faces down.

3. Apply 8 pieces of tape (B) to the fuselage mounts (one on the top and

bottom of each half of the horizontal tail).

4. Attach the clevis to the elevator control horn (see instructions for clevis

connection).

5. When needed, disassemble in reverse order.

Control Surface Centering and
Installing Clevises on Control Horns

Tip: Turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the linkage
between the servo arm and the control horn.

• Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage.
• Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired

hole in the control horn.

• Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.

After binding a transmitter to the model receiver, set the trims and
sub-trims to 0, then adjust the clevises to center the control surfaces.
