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. Specially
6. Set dual rates and exponential.
7. Adjust center of gravity
8. Perform a radio system Range Check.
9. Find a safe and open area.
10. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.
tuned for airplanes, the AS3X System invisibly
helps with complicated corrections, 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 simple. 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 Hyper Taxi 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.
4EN4
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 5 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.

Charging the Battery
Your E-fl ite® Hyper Taxi™ comes with a 2-Cell 7.4V
180mAh 20C Li-Po battery and a Celectra
DC Li-Po Charger which requires a 12V (11V-14V)
DC power source.
Refer to battery warnings. It is recommended to
charge the battery pack while you are inspecting
the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to
confi rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.
Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional
battery adapters or AC power supplies.
The Battery Charging Process
1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make
sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
2. The connector of the battery is specifically designed to allow it to fit into the charge port one way
to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before
proceeding to the next step.
3. Gently press the battery connector into the charge port located on the front of the charger.
4. When you make the connection successfully, the green LED blinking on the charger slows,
indicating proper connection.
5. Press the button on the charger. The red LED will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.
6. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 180mAh battery takes approximately 50–60
minutes at the included charger’s charge rate of 300mAh. The included battery can be charged at a
rate up to 3C (540mAh).
7. When the battery is fully charged, the green LED will turn solid.
8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.

under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and
loop strips.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Never charge batteries outside safe
temperature range.
• Never charge damaged batteries.
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 AS3X™ DSM® receiver. Due to the aerobatic
capabilities of the UMX™ Hyper Taxi™, it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential
and dual rates. Please visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
NOTICE: When using a Futaba
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 the 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 the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the 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 become 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.

Installing the Flight Battery
1. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop
strip under the cockpit. See the Adjusting the
Center of Gravity instructions for the battery’s
position.
2. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind
and then 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.
NOTICE: If using a different battery than a 2-Cell
7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po, you will need to apply a
piece 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 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.
EN
Arming the ESC
Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a fl ight
battery requires the steps below.
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.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG location is 2mm from the rear edge of the
propeller slot.
The battery slot is oversized to allow for Center of
Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at
the front edge of the battery slot with the connector
plug facing the front of the aircraft. Adjust as
needed by sliding the battery back or forward. You
may also turn the battery pack 90 degrees, bringing
the plug to the side.
2mm
Control Centering
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 be
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.
Settings for Control Horns
The following illustration shows the factory settings
for linkages on the control horns. After fl ying,
carefully adjust the linkage positions for the desired
control response.
CAUTION: Using settings other than the
factory settings, without proper experience, could
result in loss of control of your aircraft and a crash,
causing damage to the aircraft and personal injury.
Centering Controls After First Flights
For best performance with AS3X, it is important
that excessive trim is not used. If the model
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.
All Control Surfaces

Control Direction Test
Bind your aircraft and transmitter before performing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to
make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly, freely, and in the proper direction.
Tip: Programming for the control surfaces has already been done in the receiver of the Hyper Taxi, so no
mixing is required in the transmitter.
To demonstrate modes 1–4, only the axis being tested is shown.
Always keep throttle at low position during testing.

Dual Rates and Expos
We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual
rates and expo due to the aerobatic capabilities
of the Hyper Taxi. The settings shown here are
recommended starting settings. Adjust according to
individual preferences after initial fl ight.
If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we
recommend activating Expo for smoother control.
For activation and deactivation of the Expo in the
DX4e and DX5e, see below.
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.

Flying Tips and Repairs
EN
Flying
We recommend fl ying your E-fl ite® Hyper Taxi
™
indoors or outside only in 8 mph (13 km) winds
or less. 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.
Takeoff
For the fi rst fl ew fl ights, we recommend hand
launching the model, as this can be easier to do
than a takeoff from the ground.
Hand Launch
Hold the Hyper Taxi upright by the canopy. Apply
1/2–3/4 throttle, and gently toss the aircraft into the
wind with the wings level. After the model leaves
your hand, apply more throttle and begin to enjoy
your E-fl ite Hyper Taxi.
Vertical Takeoff
Place the Hyper Taxi in position for takeoff (sitting
on the rear tips of the wings) with the with the
grey side of the aircraft facing into the wind. Apply
throttle to the Hyper Taxi
™
until it begins to leave the
ground. Add full power and a small amount of down
elevator until the model is fl ying straight and level.
Turning
This model is much different than any other
model you may have fl own. Because of its nearly
symmetrical shape, it fl ies very neutral while it
is on its side in knife edge fl ight. Because of this,
turning requires the use of rudder. Roll the model to
a small bank angle in the direction you would like
to turn. Once this angle is established, apply rudder
in the same direction that the ailerons were applied
while simultaneously beginning to add elevator
to maintain altitude. Adjust your turning radius by
the amount of initial bank angle and the amount of
rudder and elevator applied while making the turn.
Feel free to experiment with fl ying the Hyper Taxi
with the wings at various angles; however, be aware
that the model acts very similarly on its side as it
does when fl ying upright.
Landing
Intermediate Vertical Landing
Fly the Hyper Taxi down to approximately one length
of the model above the ground. Aggressively fl are
the model with the elevator. As the model rotates to
vertical, the throttle will control your descent speed,
rather than the elevator. Add more power to climb
or slow your descent. Reduce your throttle input to
descend or speed up your descent. Ease off of the
power as the model comes to rest on the tips of
the wings.
Advanced Vertical Landing
When you become accustomed to fl ying the Hyper
Taxi, you may want to attempt an advanced vertical
landing. If you are experienced with 3D fl ight, you
may choose to hover the model like a 3D airplane
and bring the model to rest on its wingtips by using
throttle to adjust the model’s altitude. To hover
vertically, use a combination of rudder/elevator.
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.
Over Current Protection (OPC)
The Hyper Taxi 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 is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After
the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to
re-arm the ESC.
Repairs
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Repair the Hyper Taxi using foam-compatible CA
glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA
glue 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 printing. DO NOT handle
the model until accelerant fully dries.

either (i) service, or (ii) replace, any Product determined
by Horizon to be defective. Horizon reserves the right
to inspect any and all Product(s) involved in a warranty
claim. Service or replacement decisions are at the sole
discretion of Horizon. Proof of purchase is required for
all warranty claims. SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT AS
PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE PURCHASER’S
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.
Limitation of Liability
HORIZON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF
PROFITS OR PRODUCTION OR COMMERCIAL LOSS IN ANY
WAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED
IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF
HORIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. Further, in no event shall the liability
of Horizon exceed the individual price of the Product on
which liability is asserted. As Horizon has no control over
use, setup, final assembly, modification or misuse, no
liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any resulting
damage or injury. By the act of use, setup or assembly,
the user accepts all resulting liability. If you as the purchaser or user are not prepared to accept the liability
associated with the use of the Product, purchaser is
advised to return the Product immediately in new and
unused condition to the place of purchase.
