Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Installing the Battery
AS3X System
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes
power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some
battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing. When the motor
pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft aftter use to pre-
vent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before
storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V
per cell.
1. Press the latch button (
A
) to lift the front edge of the canopy hatch, then
pull the hatch up and forward from the fuselage.
2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape to the bottom of your
battery(s).
3. For the recommended CG, install the battery(s) all the way to the back of
the compartment, then press the battery(s) onto the hook and loop strip (
B
).
Close the 2 hook and loop straps (
C
) around the battery(s). See the Adjust-
ing the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
4. Connect a fully charged battery(s) to the ESC.
See the Arming the ESC
instructions for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.
5. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver
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.
CAUTION
: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with the
kind of performance experts appreciate. First used in Blade
®
ultra micro flybar-
less helicopters, MEMS sensor technology within the Artificial Stability--3 axis
(AS3X) System has been specifically 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 parkflyers with the AR635 receiver. The
precision 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 parkflyer will never be the same! To
see what we mean, go to www.E-fliteRC.com/AS3X.
Dual Battery Setup
An optional Y-harness (EFLAEC308) is included to connect (2) 3S Li-Po
batteries (EFLB32003S30, sold separately) in series to the ESC instead
of (1) 6S Li-Po battery (sold separately). If (2) 3S Li-Po batteries are
used, join them in a stack using hook and loop strips. Secure the battery
stack in place using the instructions described in steps 2 and 3 above.
