Charging the Battery

Your aircraft comes with a 2-Cell 7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po battery and a Celectra™ 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po charger that requires a 12V (11V-14V) DC power source.

Refer to the charging 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.

Battery Charging Process

2S 7.4V 200mAh 25C

Lithium Polymer Battery

Purchase the optional AC to 12V DC 1.5 amp power supply (EFLC4000) to charge your battery pack without a 12V DC power source.

NOTICE: 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.

CAUTION: Only use an E-ﬂ ite® 12V

power supply (EFLC4000) with this charger. DO NOT use a 6V power supply or property damage and injury could occur.

The connector of the battery is speciﬁ cally designed to allow it to ﬁ t into the charge port one way to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding.

1. Gently press the battery connector into the

charge port located on the front of the charger.

CAUTION: Once charging is complete,

immediately remove the battery. Never leave a battery connected to the charger.

2. Press the button on the charger. The red LED

will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

3. Disconnect the battery from the charger when

the green LED turns solid. The battery is fully charged.

CAUTION: Only use a charger speciﬁ cally

designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in ﬁ re causing injury or property

damage. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 180mAh battery takes approximately 50–60 minutes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The included battery can be charged at a rate of up to

Charging Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with your aircraft has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings

must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a ﬁ re, personal injury and/or property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included

Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or

swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁ re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature

in a dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the

battery in a temperature range of 40–120º F (5–49° C). Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch ﬁ re.

• Always charge batteries away from

ﬂ ammable materials.

• Always inspect the battery before charging.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging.

• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a ﬁ re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.

• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.

• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places (recommended between 40–120° F or (5–49° C) or place in direct sunlight.

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 the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

LVC does not prevent the battery from overdischarge during storage.

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

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

AS3X® System 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® ultra micro flybarless helicopters, the specifically tuned

AS3X System for airplanes helps invisibly correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls when encountered. Furthermore, the outstanding control agility delivers an ultra smooth, lockedin 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 model.

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.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

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.

For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com.

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 Reference Table



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. Ensure the transmitter is powered OFF.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash (typically after 5 seconds).

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

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode.

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 end of the manual.

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

Installing the Flight Battery

P F

1. Remove the magnetic canopy.

2. Install the battery all the way to the front of the battery compartment.

3. Refer to the “Connecting the Battery and Arming the ESC” section below.

4. Reinstall the canopy.

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.

Connecting the Battery and 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.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect the battery immediately.

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

Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.

Power ON the transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

Install ﬂ ight battery and connect it to the ESC.

Keep plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds.

Preﬂ ight Checklist



1. Charge the ﬂ ight battery.

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

3. Bind the aircraft to the transmitter.

4. Make sure the linkages move freely.

5. Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter.

Control Centering

Before 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 trims will 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 set to zero.

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

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



6. Adjust the center of gravity.

7. Perform a radio system Range Check

8. Find a safe and open area.

9. Plan ﬂ ight appropriate for ﬂ ying location.

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

important that excessive trim is not used. If

the aircraft 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.

Settings for Control Horns

The illustration shows factory settings for linkages on the control horns. After ﬂ ying, if you want to modify control throw, carefully adjust the linkage positions for desired control response.

Factory Settings

Control Rates

We recommend using a DSM2/DSMX aircraft transmitter capable of dual rates. Adjust according to individual preferences after initial ﬂ ight.

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

To achieve the proper Low Rate settings when using a programmable DSM2/DSMX aircraft transmitter, set the low rate value to 70% for the aileron, elevator and rudder.

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.

Aileron 100% 70%

Elevator 100% 70%

Rudder 100% 70%

Adjusting the Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 21mm back from the leading edge at the wing root.

This CG location has been determined with the included 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery installed in the battery cavity.

Balance the model on the underside of each wing to ﬁ nd the center of gravity.

Additional Safety Precautions and Warnings

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.

• Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model to avoid collisions or injury. This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. Interference can cause momentary loss of control.

• Always operate your model in open spaces away from full-size vehicles, traﬃ c and people.

• Always carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable battery packs, etc.).

• Always keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the reach of children.

• Always avoid water exposure to all equipment not speciﬁ cally designed and protected for this purpose. Moisture causes damage to electronics.

• Never place any portion of the model in your mouth as it could cause serious injury or even death.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying

We recommend ﬂ ying your ICON A5 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.

Takeoﬀ

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

Takeoﬀ from Water

Refer to the Removing and Installing the Landing Gear section to remove the factory-installed landing gear before ﬂ ying on water.

To take oﬀ on water, steer with the rudder and slowly increase the throttle. Keep the wings level on takeoﬀ using the ailerons. Hold a small amount (1/4–1/3) of up elevator and the aircraft will lift oﬀ once ﬂ ying speed is reached. Avoid rapidly increasing the throttle as torque from the motor may cause the aircraft to roll to the left when on water.

When taxiing, you must use some throttle to create propeller blast over the rudder to steer, as there is no water rudder.

Avoid taxiing cross wind if there is a breeze, as this can cause the aircraft to ﬂ ip over if the wind gets under the upwind wing. Taxi 45 degrees into the direction of the wind (not perpendicular to the

wind) and use aileron to hold the upwind wing down. The wind naturally turns the aircraft to face into the wind when taxiing.

CAUTION: Never go alone to get a downed

model in the water. If at any time water splashes into the fuselage,

bring the aircraft to shore, remove the canopy and immediately remove any water that may have gotten into the fuselage. Leave the canopy oﬀ overnight to let the inside dry out and to prevent moisture damage to the electronic components.

Landing

Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less above the surface, using a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to set the aircraft gently on the surface.

Over Current Protection (OCP)

The ICON A5 ESC is equipped with Over Current Protection (OCP). OCP protects the ESC from overheating and stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the propeller cannot turn. 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.

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 warranty.

Repairs

Repairs can be made using foam-compatible CA glue (Cyanoacrylate adhesive) 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.

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

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this manual.
