AS3X™ Stabilization

DELIVERS BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE

The AS3X System for airplanes is an electronic enhancement system that makes it possible for you to experience super-smooth ﬂ ight performance, yet still have full control authority for sport, scale or 3D ﬂ ight.

Turbulence, torque and tip stalls are just some of the many complications to assess when trying to achieve smooth ﬂ ight. The Horizon Hobby worldclass team of RC pilots developed the AS3X System for airplanes based on the successful use of AS3X with ultra micro ﬂ ybarless helicopters. The AS3X System invisibly helps with complicated corrections,



6. Adjust ﬂ ight controls and transmitter.

7. Perform a radio system Range Check.

8. Find a safe and open area.

9. Plan ﬂ ight for ﬂ ying ﬁ eld conditions.

allowing you to experience ultra-smooth ﬂ ight performance that feels so natural that you’ll quickly build conﬁ dence in the capability of the airplane.

AS3X system setup is easy. Just bind your DSM2

DSMX

transmitter to the model using a basic airplane program and AS3X will assure that the locked-in feel and control authority you want is instantly at your command to help show off your RC pilot skills.

AS3X will innovate the way you’ll want to ﬂ y now and in the future. To see what we mean, go to www.E-ﬂ iteRC.com/AS3X.

™

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The Beast 3D ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases and increases, showing that some battery power is reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing.

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

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity.

During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Tip: Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may not hear the pulsing of the motor.

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

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen SpektrumTM DSM2

DSMX

technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any JR® or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the EFLU4864 receiver. Due to the aerobatic capabilities of the UMX Beast 3D, it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with dual rates. Please

visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters. NOTICE: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel is

required.

Binding Procedure



1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

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. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly. (Typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and 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 ﬁ ve to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to Troubleshooting Guide at back of manual.

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

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of the aircraft.

2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for the battery’s position.

3. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind and connect a fully charged flight battery.

Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5 seconds so the AS3X system initializes correctly. See the Arming the ESC instructions

for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

4. Install the battery hatch.

NOTICE: If using a different battery than the recommended 2-Cell 7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po, you will need to apply a circle of hook and loop fastener to the back of the battery, opposite the side with the label, in order to hold the battery in place.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft receiver 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.

Arming the ESC

1 2

Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter then wait 5 seconds.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully raised, the ESC will enter programming mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.

The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the ﬁ rst time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal.

AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller

in response to any throttle movement.

Install ﬂ ight battery and connect it to the ESC.

Keep plane immobile on its wheels away from wind for ﬁ ve seconds.

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 and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Control Centering

Before ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces are centered. Adjust linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered.

For best performance with AS3X, it is important that excessive trim is not used. If the model requires excessive trim, adjust the linkages and return the trim on the transmitter to neutral position.

Use of the transmitter sub-trims will not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of the 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 control linkage (see illustration).

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

Settings for Control Horns

The following illustrations show linkage positions chosen for the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage connections on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.

CAUTION: Extreme 3D ﬂ ying is for advanced

modelers. Using this setting without proper experience, could result in loss of control of your aircraft and a crash, causing damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Dual Rates

INTERMEDIATE 3D FLYING

EXTREME 3D FLYING

Aileron Elevator Rudder

EXTREME

We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates due to the aerobatic capabilities of the Beast 3D. The settings below are recommended starting settings. Adjust according to individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

High Rate Low Rate

Aileron 100% 70% Elevator 100% 70% Rudder 100% 70%

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 19mm back from the leading edge of the bottom wing at the root.

This CG location has been determined with the 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery installed with the front edge of the battery aligned or slightly forward of the rear edge of the cowl.

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 noise. Noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.

The oversized battery tray allows for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the front edge of the battery aligned with or slightly forward of the rear edge of the cowl. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery back or forward. The wire length provides for either front-facing or rear-facing battery connection.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying

While the Beast 3D may be ﬂ own indoors in an open space such as a gymnasium, we recommend ﬂ ying your Beast 3D 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. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

Place the Beast 3D 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 Beast 3D.

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.

The Beast 3D is equipped with Over Current Protection (OCP). This feature protects the ESC from overheating. OCP stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will only activate when the throttle stick is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repairs

Repair the Beast 3D using foam-compatible CA (cyanocrylate 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 back of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your model can damage paint. DO NOT handle model until accelerant fully dries.

Always

decrease throttle at

propeller strike.
