Control Centering
Before fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an
accident, make sure the fl ight control surfaces
are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if
the control surfaces are not centered.
Use of the transmitter trims may not correctly
center the aircraft control surfaces due to the
mechanical limits of linear servos.
1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral
when the transmitter controls and trims are
centered. The transmitter sub-trim must be
set to zero.
2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully
bend the metal of the linkage (see illustration).
3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the
connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider
to make the linkage longer.
Centering Controls After First Flights
For best performance with AS3X, it is
important that excessive trim is not used. If
the aircraft requires excessive transmitter trim
(4 or more clicks of trim per channel), return the
transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages
mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the
fl ight trimmed position.
Settings for Control Horns
The illustration shows factory settings for linkages
on the control horns. After fl ying, if you want to
modify control throw, carefully adjust the linkage
positions for desired control response.
Rudder Elevator
The transmitter included with the Spitfi re is the
same transmitter included in other Ultra Micro
RTF models. It also functions identically to the
transmitter included with the ParkZone UMS F4U
Corsair and UMS T-28 Trojan.
1. Ensure the battery is disconnected from
the aircraft and the transmitter is turned off .
2. Press and hold the digital trim button for
the surface you would like to reverse.
3. While holding the digital trim button, turn
the transmitter on.
4. Hold the digital trim buttons down for
approximately 5 seconds until you hear a
tone confi rming the selection.
5. Connect the fl ight battery and complete
the fl ight control test. Confi rm all surfaces
operate in the correct direction.

NOTICE: The Spitfi re RTF should not require any servo reversing. Should the Spitfi re electronic components
be used in another aircraft, you may fi nd it necessary to reverse the operation of the fl ight control
surfaces.
