Pre-Loaded Transmitter File Operation Notes
Flight Modes Active with Flap System The imported file activates Flight Modes,
setting them to the Flap switch (D). It also changes the Trim setting from
Common, to Flight Mode. This allows aileron, elevator, and rudder trims to be
separately adjusted for each flap setting. In-flight trim for all three axes
is now independent, which provides the ability to precisely trim the model for
each flap position.
Trim for each Flight Mode Switch (D) position: POS 0: Trim all three axes for
flaps up (normal) POS 1: Trim all three axes for partial flaps (take-off) POS
2: Trim all three axes for full flaps (landing)
Flight Timer There is no flight timer loaded in the transmitter setup file.
The voltage monitor provides alerts when the battery voltage has dropped to
just above the LVC, indicating it is time to land. This system only functions
when using Smart batteries. If you are not using a Smart battery, set your
flight timer to monitor your flight time.
iX series: The photo imported for the iX series is a representation of a jet.
See your transmitter manual for instructions to change the photo, if desired.

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.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enable or Disable SAFE Select
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology,
enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes
angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a
direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled
during the bind process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in
AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode
all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and
AS3X modes.
Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-
time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a
switch.
IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual
and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is
properly programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and
ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before
and during binding. This process defines the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case OR a conventional bind
plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE Select can also be enabled via Forward Programming.

SAFE® Select Technology
When flying in SAFE Select 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, and the
amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies.
Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined pitch and
roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select it is normal to hold the control stick deflected
with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with
SAFE Select avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct
for minor
deviations. With SAFE Select, 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
Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching
into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select 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.
Control stick is neutralized
Aircraft will self level
SAFE Select
AS3X Aircraft will continue to fly at its present attitude
Control Input
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
SAFE® Select Switch Designation
SAFE® Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position)
controlling a channel (59) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch,
SAFE select ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X
mode while in flight. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the
aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for
that channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator,
rudder and throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor and keep the aircraft
securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
TIP: SAFE Select is assignable on any unused channels 59. See your
transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP: Use your radio channel monitor to confirm that the four primary channels
are showing 100% travel while assigning the switch.
TIP: Use the channel monitor to make sure the switch you are assigning for
SAFE Select is active and driving a channel between 5-9 and that it is
traveling 100% in each direction.
TIP: Make sure your four primary channels are not reversed if you are having
trouble assigning a SAFE Select switch.
Assigning a Switch
1. Bind the aircraft to choose SAFE Select ON. This will allow the system to
be assigned to a switch.
2. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the
desired switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down) to assign that switch.
The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been
selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current
switch if desired.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming
We recommend a 4S 2200mAh 50C LiPo battery with IC3 connector. If using a
different battery, the battery should be of similar capacity, dimensions and
weight to fit in the fuselage. Always be sure the model balances at the
recommended CG with the battery chosen. 1. Apply the loop side (soft side) of
the hook and loop tape to the bottom of the
battery. 2. Slide the canopy latch back and lift the back of the canopy to
remove it. 3. Power on the transmitter and wait 5 seconds. 4. Lower the
throttle to the lowest setting. 5. Install the fully charged battery in the
battery compartment as shown.
See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information. 6.
Secure the flight battery with the hook and loop strap. 7. Connect the ESC to
the battery power lead IC3 connector, noting the correct
polarity. The ESC will emit opening chime. · The first set of tones, 1 beep
for each cell in the connected LiPo battery pack. · Rising beep for ending
chime.
NOTICE: Connecting the battery to the ESC with incorrect polarity will damage
the ESC and void the warranty.
8. The ESC is now ready for use.* 9. Reinstall the canopy hatch by sliding
the hatch pin latch back on the fuselage.
Ensure the hatch pin engages.
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 3
minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown
the model.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Center of Gravity
WARNING: Install the battery but do not connect it to the ESC while checking
the CG. Personal injury may result.
The CG range is 80mm +/-5mm behind the leading edge at the wing root. Always
check the CG location with model inverted.
The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or backward in
the battery compartment.
NOTICE: The CG of the Viper should be checked in the configuration you are
going to fly. If you will fly it with landing gear, the landing gear must be
installed. If you will hand launch your Viper, the CG should be checked with
the landing gear removed.

In Flight Trimming
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight. Make small trim
adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s
flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This
allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X
performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.

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 the 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.
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.
Elevators
3. Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will
cause the aircraft to pitch up.
4. Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which
will cause the aircraft to pitch down.
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,

AS3X Response Test
This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly.
Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before
performing this test.
1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate
AS3X.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving
propeller, as these items could become entangled.
2. 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 remains active until the battery is disconnected.
Due to different effects of torque, lift, and drag some aircraft require trim
changes with different speeds and throttle settings. Mixes are preloaded into
the receiver to compensate for these changes. The mixes become active the
first time the throttle is raised above 25%. The control surfaces may be
offset slightly at different throttle settings after the first time throttle
is raised. Trimming the plane in flight should be done at 80-100% throttle for
best results.

Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are
centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the
control surfaces by adjusting the linkages. If adjustment is required, turn
the ball link on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the
servo arm and the control horn. Ball link pliers are recommended for removal
and replacement of ball links. After binding a transmitter to the aircraft
receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the ball links to
center the control surfaces.
Hand Launch
The BNF version of the Viper 64mm is equipped with Hand Launch Assist Mode
which takes the stress out of hand launching your aircraft. The system works
in the background to level the wings and set the model in a positive climb
attitude, even after a less than perfect hand launch.
To activate Hand Launch Assist Mode:
1. Make sure SAFE Select is enabled. 2. Place the model in SAFE mode. 3.
Advance the throttle above 70%. 4. Hand launch the model as you normally
would. The acceleration of throwing
the model automatically activates the assist mode, leveling the wings and
setting the model in a positive climb attitude. 5. After a few seconds of
flight the system automatically disengages and reverts to normal SAFE mode. 6.
The system automatically resets after landing when the throttle is reduced
below 5%, and the model is stationary for more than 5 seconds.
