Included / Recommended Equipment

General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF

• The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
• The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.
• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.
• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

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 flight 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 airplane.
When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the flight battery.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each flight. 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 first flights, set your transmitter timer or a stop-watch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.

Transmitter Setup

IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.

If your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle cut feature. Always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.

Dual Rates
Low rate is recommended for the initial flights.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X® technology functions properly, do not lower rate values below 50%.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Exponential
After your initial flights, you may adjust the exponential value to better suit your flying style.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
In the binding process, the receiver is programmed to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identification) code of a specific transmitter. You must “bind” your chosen aircraft transmitter using Spektrum DSM2/DSMX technology to the receiver for proper operation.
Any Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can be bound to a DSM2/DSMX receiver.

Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding it to a receiver (location of transmitter’s bind function).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Place the aircraft on a level surface away from wind.
5. Connect the flight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to flash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).
6. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
7. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
8. 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.

Smart Technology Telemetry
This aircraft includes Spektrum Smart Technology in the receiver, which can provide telemetry information like bat-tery voltage. To take advantage of Smart Technology, you will need a compatible transmitter. A firmware update for your transmitter may be required.

To View Smart Telemetry:

1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Power on the aircraft.
4. The Smart logo appears under the battery logo on the home page. A signal bar appears in the top left corner of the screen.
5. Scroll past the servo monitor to view Smart technology screens.

For more information about compatible transmitters, firmware updates, and how to use the Smart Technology on your transmitter, visit www.SpektrumRC.com.

SAFE® Select Technology
The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution has two flight modes controlled by Channel 5, SAFE and AS3X. Switch A is the Spektrum default for channel 5. Position 0 is SAFE, Position 1 is AS3X only.
When flying in SAFE mode, the aircraft will return to level flight any time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined bank and pitch limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying in SAFE mode, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with SAFE, avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for minor deviations. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.

Differences Between SAFE and AS3X Modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed, battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

| SAFE Select| AS3X
---|---|---
Control Input| Control stick is neutralized| Aircraft will self level| Aircraft will continue to fly at its pres- ent attitude
Holding a small amount of control| Aircraft will bank or pitch to a moderate angle and maintain the attitude| Aircraft will continue to pitch or roll slowly
Holding full control| Aircraft will bank or pitch to the predetermined limits and maintain the attitude| Aircraft will continue to roll or pitch rapidly

Disabling and Enabling SAFE Select
By default, the SAFE Select function of your UMX aircraft is enabled and assigned to the Gear channel switch (channel 5). If you do not wish to have access to SAFE Select while flying, you can choose to disable SAFE Select functionality. AS3X will still be active when SAFE Select is disabled.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to disable or enable SAFE Select, ensure the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle and gear channels are all on high rate with the travel set to 100%. Turn throttle hold OFF if it is programmed in the transmitter.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts clear of the propeller, and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.

1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the Gear switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down). The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating SAFE Select has been enabled or disabled.

Repeat the process again to re-enable or disable SAFE Select.

DXe, and DXS Transmitters
Switch A is the FMODE switch on the these transmitters, and the switch needs to be toggled between position 0 and 2 when disabling/enabling SAFE Select.

ESC/Receiver Arming and Battery Installation
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 flight battery requires the following steps.

AS3X
The AS3X® system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased above 25% 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. Open the battery hatch.
2. Attach the battery to the hook and loop strip so the battery is centered in the battery cavity.
3. Lower the throttle and power on your transmitter. Enable throttle cut switch.
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 series of tones and a continuous LED (LED may be difficult to see as it is located inside of aircraft.) indicates a successful connection.
   A solid blue LED indicates that the aircraft is in SAFE flight mode and a solid RED LED indicates that the aircraft is in AS3X flight mode. When the aircraft is in SAFE the servos will move without increasing throttle above 25% throttle 2S batteries with a PH plug require an adapter lead. (SPMXCA327).

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not flying 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 flying 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 fire when batteries are charged.

Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG location is 28mm +/- 4mm behind the leading edge of the wing. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery. Adjust the battery forward or aft so the model balances level at the recommended point.

Control Direction Test
Switch on the transmitter, enable throttle cut and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron, elevator and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions.

Elevators

1. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevator should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.

2. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevator should move down, which will cause the aircraft to pitch down.
   Ailerons

3. Move the aileron stick to the left. The left aileron should move up and the right aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank left.

4. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the left aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.
   Rudder

5. Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should move to the left, which will cause the aircraft to yaw left.

6. Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should move to the right, which will cause the aircraft to yaw right.

Control Centering
Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight 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 entered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero.
2. Remove the ball link connector from the control horn.
3. Adjust the plastic ball link by screwing it in or out, then reassemble it on the control horn.

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 flight trimmed position.

Optional Float Set Installation

Landing Gear Removal

1. Carefully invert the aircraft.
2. Remove the 4 screws and 2 plates securing the land-ing gear.
3. Remove the other 4 screws and 2 plates for the rear float mount. Save all screws and plates for the float installation.
4. Remove the landing gear.

Float Installation
Refer to the instructions included with the float set (EFLU1190).

1. Install the spreader wires behind the front and rear struts.
2. Install the floats as shown, using the included front float strut and the rear strut included with the float set.
3. Install and tighten the 4 plates and 6 screws removed during Step 3, above.

Control Horn Settings
The illustration shows the factory settings for the control horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control 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.

Flying Tips and Repairs

WARNING: Always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.

Range Check the Radio System
Range check the radio system with the aircraft. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information.

Flying
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in no greater than moderate winds or inside in a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings.
You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.

Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind if flying 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 flight envelope of the aircraft.

Landing
Always land into the wind. During the flare, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Slowly lower the throttle while easing back on the elevator to bring the aircraft gently down on all three wheels.

NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle at touch down when landing the aircraft to prevent damage to the propeller and motor.

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.

Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The aircraft is equipped with over-current protection. OCP protects the ESC from overheating and stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the pro-peller 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.

Repairs
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Repair this aircraft 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.

Hand Launching
NOTICE: We recommend hand launching in SAFE Mode, into the wind at 100% power, in high rates.

When hand launching in SAFE mode, the control unit will sense the force of the launch and automatically enable the Hand Launch Assist feature. When this feature is active, the control unit will add up elevator so the aircraft climbs at a higher angle for a few seconds. It will return to standard SAFE mode shortly after launch.

Grip
We recommend holding the aircraft on the bottom of the fuselage, just behind the wings, as shown.

Follow Through
Use an overhand throw and launch with wings level and the nose of the model slightly upwards. Follow through with your hand launch by pointing your fingers at the airplane after the throw. Avoid an arcing throw which can pull the nose down at release.
