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 stopwatch 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
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

General Binding Tips and Failsafe
· 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 red 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.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to `bind’ your chosen SpektrumTM DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver.

Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
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.
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.
For subsequent flights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the flight battery.

SAFE® Select Technology
This aircraft 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.

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.
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 to disable or enable or disable SAFE Select. The aircraft will cycle both ailerons up and down to indicate a change has been made.
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
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 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 by lifting from the rear.
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 the 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%.
5. Replace the battery hatch.
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 44mm ± 4mm behind the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended battery. Check the CG with the model inverted. Adjust the battery forward or aft so the model balances level at the recommended point.

44mm from leading edge +/-4mm

Control Direction Test
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test without turning on throttle cut. Serious injury or property damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, DO NOT FLY. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information. If you need more assistance, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Enable throttle cut.
3. Connect the battery.
4. Use the transmitter to operate the aileron, elevator and rudder controls.
NOTICE: 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 1. 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.
2. 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 1. Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder should move to the left, which will cause the aircraft to yaw left.
2. Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder should move to the right, which will cause the aircraft to yaw right.
NOTE: This aircraft uses offset servos for aileron control. It is normal to see the ailerons move up more than down during the control test. (For example, left control input, left aileron will move up more than the right aileron will move down.)

AS3X® Control Response Test

This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. The AS3X system in your Me 262 is an advanced stabilization system, and the aircraft must remain stationary during initialization.

1. Advance the throttle above 25% to activate the AS3X system.
2. Fully lower the throttle. 3. Move the entire aircraft as
shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.
Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X is active until the battery is disconnected.

Control Centering and Adjusting a Ball Link
IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering.
While SAFE is inactive, mechanically center the control surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the SAFE system requires sub-trim and trim at 0.
After binding a transmitter to the receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the linkages to center the control surfaces.
· Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise until the control surface is centered.
· Attach the linkage to the control horn after adjustment.

Hand Launching
OTICE: 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.

EN
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.

AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code

Effective January 1, 2018 A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight within visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and related AMA guidelines, any additional rules specific to the flying site, as well as all applicable laws and regulations.

As an AMA member I agree:

· I will not fly a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.
· I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human- carrying aircraftusing AMA’s See and Avoid Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.
· I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the influence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.
· I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
· I will fly Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in compliance with AMA’s safety programming.
· I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to

me. When using an advanced flight system, such as an autopilot, or flying First-Person View (FPV), I will comply with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.
· I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel, if certified through AMA’s Large Model Airplane Program.
· I will only fly a turbine-powered model aircraft in compliance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.
· I will not fly a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s) located at the flightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.
· I will use an established safety line to separate all model aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
