Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with 
the kind of performance experts appreciate. First used in Blade

®

 ultra micro 

fl ybarless helicopters, MEMS sensor technology within the Artifi cial Stability - 3 
aXis (AS3X) System has been specifi cally tuned for airplanes helping invisibly 
correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls.

Now the exclusive AS3X Stabilization system makes the leap from Ultra Micro 
aircraft to high performance parkfl yers with the AR635 receiver. The preci-
sion and performance available from AS3X equipped Ultra Micro airplanes has 

heralded a new era of performance, and with the AR635 that performance is 
introduced for larger airplanes.

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 aircraft. Welcome to AS3X, your parkfl yer will never be the same!

AS3X System

Arming the ESC and Receiver

Installing Landing Gear

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but 
subsequent connection of a fl ight battery requires the steps below.

AS3X

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

NOTICE:

 Due to increased servo power demands, only use the 40-Amp Lite Pro 

Switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC (EFLA1040LB V2) with the AR635. Use of any 
other ESC presently available may result in damage to the aircraft.

1.   Lower the throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. Power on the 

Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.  

2.  Remove the battery hatch and install the fl ight battery to the hook and 

loop strip, then connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity. 

Keep the aircraft immobile on its wheels away from wind for 
5 seconds. If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after 
the fl ight battery is connected, recharge or replace the battery.

DO NOT

 connect the battery while the throttle stick is at full or the ESC will go 

into programming mode. 

If a musical tone sounds after 5 seconds, immediately disconnect the battery, 
then lower the throttle. 

Refer to the ESC manual (available separately) for more information.

3.

 

When power is applied to the ESC:

1) The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 4 of the 
  binding instructions for more information).

 

2) An LED will light on the receiver (the red, blue and green gain 
  LEDs will also fl ash).

For further explanation of the gain lights, refer to the “Initializing the AR635” 
section of the AR635 receiver manual.

CAUTION: 

Always 

keep hands away from 
the propeller. When 
armed, the motor will turn 
the propeller in response 
to any throttle movement.
