Step 1: The CG will be wrong. Put a penny under the battery. Adjust the penny location to get the correct CG. (I need to get one of the local guys with one to measure that)
Actual balance of the models varies significantly straight from the box. They can fly tail-heavy but when they stall the AS3X will fight the stall and put the plane into a spin. Without the AS3X they are very difficult to control due to being tail-heavy...
Get the CG right and they are easy to fly without the AS3X and the plane tends to stall straight.

The airplane goes into bind mode when you plug in the battery if it does not find a TX is is already bound to.
So.. plug in the airplane battery... then turn on the TX in bind mode. When the controls respond its bound. From then on turn on TX before plugging in the battery.
