decrease throttle at

propeller strike.

Range Check your Radio System

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ﬂ ying location.

Perform a range check with your radio system. We recommend ﬂ ying your

ParkZone VisionAire aircraft outside in no greater than moderate winds. Always

avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful

to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks,

schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

Understanding Oscillation

Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the ﬁ rst time),

you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.

In some ﬂ ight conditions, you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back and

forth on one axis due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, decrease airspeed.

Ensure the aircraft is in General Flight mode for higher airspeeds. If oscillation

persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Set the ﬂ ight

mode (Channel 5) to General Flight 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

Before activating 3D mode, ﬂ y the airplane and trim it for level ﬂ ight at 3/4

throttle. After landing, adjust the linkages mechanically to account for trim

changes and then reset the trims to neutral. Before changing ﬂ ight modes,

ensure the aircraft will ﬂ y straight and level with no trim or sub-trim.

This aircraft is extremely responsive to control input. Fly in General Flight (GF)

mode (Channel 5, Position 0) until you are familiar with the aircraft’s response.

Fly ﬁ rst attempts in 3D mode at high altitude and slow speeds.

General Flight (GF) and 3D ﬂ ight

The receiver’s default gain settings for GF and 3D modes are set at the

factory for safe and reliable performance.

CAUTION: Flying in level forward ﬂ ight and calm wind conditions

above 3/4 throttle in 3D mode or long high-speed dives may result in strong

oscillation that can damage the aircraft.

If there is oscillation in either mode (GF or 3D), decrease throttle

immediately. If oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide to

adjust (decrease) the axis gain to stop oscillation. For additional

instructions on changing the gain settings, refer to the receiver manual.

Landing

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes.

Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model.

When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight

battery. It is not recommended to ﬂ y the battery to LVC.

Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to approximately 36 inches (90

cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for the entire

descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During ﬂ are,

keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the

wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on

the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its wheels.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and

trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra dam-

age to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC

and motor.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under

warranty.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never keep the airplane in the sun. Do

not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can dam-

age the foam.

Repairs

Thanks to the Z-Foam™ construction of 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 paint. DO NOT

handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

1. Remove and inspect contents.

2. Charge ﬂ ight battery.

3. Read this instruction manual thoroughly.

4. Fully assemble model.

5. Install the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged).

6. Bind aircraft to your transmitter.

7. Ensure the receiver settings match your transmitter (see Transmitter Setup).

8. Make sure linkages move freely.

9. Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter.

10. Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft.

11. Adjust ﬂ ight controls and transmitter.

12. Perform a radio system Range Check.

13. Find a safe and open area.

14. Plan ﬂ ight for ﬂ ying ﬁ eld conditions

1. Disconnect ﬂ ight battery from ESC (Required for Safety and battery life).

2. Power off transmitter.

3. Remove ﬂ ight battery from aircraft.

4. Recharge ﬂ ight battery.

5. Repair or replace all damaged parts.

6. Store ﬂ ight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge.

7. Make note of ﬂ ight conditions and ﬂ ight plan results, planning for

future ﬂ ights.
