AS3X Stabilization Delivers Breakthrough Performance

Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with the kind of performance experts appreciate. Now the exclusive Artificial Stability – 3 aXis (AS3X) system helps take performance expectations in ultra micro aircraft a quantum leap higher.

Based on the successful use of MEMS sensor technology within the AS3X Stabilization System essential to Blade helicopters, the specifically tuned AS3X System for airplanes helps invisibly correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls when encountered.

ultra micro flybarless

Furthermore, the outstanding control agility delivers an ultra smooth, locked-in feel that obeys your every command with performance that’s natural feeling. It’s so gratifying, in fact, that it’s as though you’re the RC pilot of an expertly tuned, giant-scale aircraft.

AS3X will change the way you’ll want to fly now and in the future. To see what we mean, go to www.E-fliteRC.com/AS3X.

Preﬂ ight Checklist



1. Charge ﬂ ight battery.

2. Install ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged).

3. Bind aircraft to your transmitter.

4. Make sure linkages move freely.

5. Perform Control Direction Test with the transmitter.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

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). 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. Fully charge your Li-Po battery before storing it. During

storage, make sure 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 aircraft.

Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using proper throttle management.

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 SPMAS6410NBL receiver. Due to the aerobatic capabilities of the UMX Sbach 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.

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.

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 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. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of the aircraft and power on your transmitter.

2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions to determine the battery position for your desired flying style.

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

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 the ﬂ ight battery and connect it to the ESC.

Keep the aircraft immobile on its wheels away from wind for ﬁ ve seconds. Series of tones

Continuous LED

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 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.

Centering Controls After First Flights For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the aircraft re-

quires 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 linkage positions chosen for the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage connections on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.

CAUTION: When these are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

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.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery installed.

Start by placing the front edge of the battery aligned with or slightly forward of the rear edge of the cowl. The Li-Po battery can be positioned to accommodate your desired ﬂ ying style by using the battery positioning chart as shown.

Optional – Installation of Side Force Generators (SFGs)

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

The two SFG sets included with the aircraft provide different amounts of increased rudder control. We recommend ﬁ rst ﬂ ying the aircraft without the SFGs, then with each set of SFGs to determine what is best for your ﬂ ying style. SFGs shown in Option

1 provide enhanced rudder authority, while SFGs in Option 2 provide extreme rudder authority.

Slide the SFG on to the leading edge of the wing. Apply a few drops of foam-safe CA to stabilize the SFGs on the wings and to prevent them from moving in ﬂ ight.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in no greater than moderate winds, or indoors in a large gymnasium. 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

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.

Option 1

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 Sbach 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 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 paint. DO NOT handle aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

Option 2
