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, 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
model.
AS3X will change the way you’ll want to fly now and
in the future. To see what we mean, go to

Prefl ight Checklist
AS3X Stabilization Delivers Breakthrough Performance
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). 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 fl ight
battery.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery
from the aircraft after each fl ight. 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.
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 3 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer
or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.
Flights of 4 minutes are achievable if using proper
throttle management.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip:
Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before
and after flying by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage
Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).
