The Artificial Stability – 3 aXis (AS3X) system developed by Horizon Hobby product developers is an electronic advancement that virtually eliminates common barriers RC pilots fight on a regular basis. Its combination of multi-axis sensors and exclusive software reduces the correction workload normally required to combat turbulence, adjust for torque effects, p-factor and goes even further by stopping or significantly delaying tip-stalls. Beyond an increase in stability, the AS3X system provides enhanced agility you can use to perform aggressive maneuvers with a higher level of precision more easily.

Now the AS3X system has been expanded to an evolutionary level by providing multiple flight assistance options. For the UMX AS3Xtra, there are five pre-programmed flight modes to make complex maneuvers such as knife edge, harrier and hovering easier to accomplish. Change between AS3X modes at the flip of a switch to best suit the way you want to fly instantly. Not only will you feel as if your in total command of a much larger expertly tuned model, it delivers the kind of control confidence that will unlock maneuver capability that some pilots might take years to master.

Preﬂ ight Checklist

The Incredible AS3X® system Aerobatics Experience

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the aircraft.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each ﬂ ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make

sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Failure to unplug a connected battery will result in trickle discharge.

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 4 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www. bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding



Binding Procedure

CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM® module, you must reverse the

throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe

instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. Keep the plane immobile for 5 seconds. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound

to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

For subsequent ﬂ ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.

Out of the box, the AS3Xtra comes standard with 3 ﬂ ight modes, shown in bold in the chart to the right.

A transmitter with a 2-position channel 5 switch will only allow the use of position 0 or position 2 ﬂ ight modes.

If possible (refer to your transmitter manual) assign channel 5 in your transmitter to a 3 position switch to operate all 3 ﬂ ight modes. You can modify the ﬂ ight modes available using the directions below.

NOTICE: Fast forward flight in the Hover and Torque Roll Assist modes may cause oscillation and damage to the aircraft.

IMPORTANT: Your transmitter must be bound to the receiver before changing ﬂ ight mode programming.

1. Ensure all servo reversing is set to normal in the transmitter.

2. Hold the transmitter sticks as shown, then connect the flight battery. The assigned flight mode switch does not need to be in a particular position.

3. The receiver LED will flash 3 times to confirm that the flight mode has been changed.

4. After a switch position change, fully lower the throttle, then disconnect the flight battery. The receiver stores the new flight mode for future flights.

5. Repeat this process to change other flight modes, or reset all settings to default using the

chart provided.

NOTICE: Always launch the aircraft in General Flight or Standard AS3X

mode or damage to the aircraft

may result. IMPORTANT: When the throttle is fully lowered for

1–2 seconds, the aircraft will reset to Standard AS3X mode until the throttle is raised again. This is normal. Standard AS3X mode allows you to launch the model again without a control input being held.

ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity

1-2-3-4-5 Sec.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight battery requires the following steps.

AS3X

The AS3X

system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once active, the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X technology will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

1. Apply hook and loop tape to the battery.

2. Attach the battery to the hook and loop strip on the fuselage.

Center of Gravity (CG)

81mm forward from the trailing edge of the aileron

at the fuselage.

3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings on your transmitter. Power on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity. Keep the plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds to allow the AS3X system to initialize. A continuous LED indicates a successful connection.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to eliminate power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an arming switch and will respond to any transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

81mm

Control Direction Test

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Make sure all linkages move freely.

Optional Side Force Generators (SFGs) Installation

Side Force Generators add side force in all ﬂ ight attitudes, increase rudder authority and make a variety of aerobatics possible.

1. Slide the SFG slot on the wing so the lower half of the SFG is under the carbon wing supports.

2. Turn the SFG carefully so the carbon supports fit into the SFG.

3. Secure the SFGs to the wing and carbon supports using foam-safe CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive).

NOTICE: Install the SFGs vertically on the wing. Failure to install the SFGs at a 90º angle may result in incorrect ﬂ ight performance.

Before the 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 sub-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 always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.

Control Centering

Control Horn Settings

The illustration shows linkage positions chosen for the best aerobatic response. Linkage connections on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

Dual Rates

To obtain the best ﬂ ight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust according to the individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over

100%, it will not result in more control movement, it will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signiﬁ cant noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.

Tip: For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, ﬂ y the model in low rate.

Dual Rate

Low High 3D

Aileron 50% 70% 100% Elevator 40% 70% 100% Rudder 50% 70% 100%

Trimming

After adjusting transmitter trim in the air or on the ground, do not touch the control sticks for 2 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance. Failure to do so could affect ﬂ ight performance.

IMPORTANT: Only trim your aircraft in General or Standard Flight mode.

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft indoors in a gymnasium, or outdoors in calm conditions. 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. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

NOTICE: Always launch the aircraft in General Flight or Standard AS3X

mode or damage to the aircraft

may result.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind if ﬂ ying outdoors). Set dual rates to low position and gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the aircraft.

Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which may require replacement.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Repairs

Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA, as other types of glue can damage the foam. 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 foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage the color printing on the ﬁ lm. DO NOT handle the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.

IMPORTANT: The ﬁ lm on the aircraft may show wrinkles. Wrinkles vary with the passage of time and do not change the aircraft’s ﬂ ight performance.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft
