Breakthrough Performance

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

www.E-fliteRC.com/AS3X.

Charging Warnings

The included battery charger (EFLUC1007) has been

Charging the Battery

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Inspect the battery to make sure it is not

damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2. The connector of the battery is speciﬁ cally designed to allow it to ﬁ t into the charge port one way to prevent

reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding to the next step.

3. Gently press the battery connector into the charge port located on the front of the charger.

4. When you make the connection successfully, the green LED blinking on the charger slows, indicating

proper connection.

5. Press the button on the charger. The red LED will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

6. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 200mAh battery takes approximately 50–60 minutes at the

charger’s 300mA charge rate. The included battery can be charged at a rate of up to 3C (600mA).

7. When the battery is fully charged, the green LED will turn solid.

8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a ﬁ re.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally

Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

TM

DSM2

®

/

DSMX

®

technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any JR

®

or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X DSM

®

receiver. For best ﬂ ight

performance of the UMX

™

MiG 15 DF, it is recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential and dual

rates. Please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

NOTICE: When using a Futaba

®

transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel

is required.



Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or

switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become 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 ﬂ ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop

strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting

the Center of Gravity instructions for the

battery’s position.

2. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind

and connect a fully charged flight battery.

Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5

seconds so the AS3X system can initialize

correctly. See the Arming the ESC instructions

for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

NOTICE: Always ensure that the battery is secured

in the aircraft using hook and loop tape.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying 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 ﬁ re when

batteries are charged.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully raised, the ESC will enter programming

mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.

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: Always keep material or debris away from the intake. When armed, the rotor will turn in response

to the throttle movement and could ingest in any loose objects.

Arming the ESC

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight

battery requires the steps below.

Lower throttle and throttle

trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter

then wait 5 seconds

Install ﬂ ight battery and

connect it to the ESC.

Keep plane immobile

and away from wind for

5 seconds.

Series of tones

Continuous LED

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 ﬂ ight 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 quickly decreases

and increases, showing that some battery power is

reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing.

When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft

immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the

aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During

storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall

below 3V per cell.

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 aircraft.

Flights of 4 minutes or more are achievable if using

proper throttle management.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage

the battery.

EN

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter

to make sure aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Make sure tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Control Direction Test

Settings for Control Horns

The following illustration shows the factory settings

for linkages on the control horns. After ﬂ ying,

carefully adjust the linkage positions for the desired

control response.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

Before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an

accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces

are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if

the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the

transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the

aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical

limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are

centered. The transmitter sub-trim must

always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider

to make the linkage longer.

Centering Controls After First Flights

For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the model re-

quires excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks

of trim per channel), return the transmitter trim

to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so

that the control surfaces are in the ﬂ ight trimmed

position.

Control Centering

EN

Dual Rates and Expos

To obtain the best ﬂ ight performance, we

recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable

of Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here

are the recommended starting settings. Adjust

according to the individual preferences after the

initial ﬂ ight.

If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we

recommend activating Expo for smoother control.

For activation and deactivation of Expo in the DX4e

and DX5e, see the next section.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust

over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over

100%, it will not result in more control movement, it

will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signiﬁ cant

noise. The noise is not an indication of a

faulty servo.

Tip: For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, ﬂ y the model in low rate.

Tip: For landing, we recommend using high rate

elevator.

shown here) for activation (A) or

deactivation (B), while powering on

the transmitter.

3. Release the trainer switch and the

control sticks only after a series of

tones sound (ascending tones for

activation, descending tones for

deactivation).

DX4e and DX5e Expo Activation and Deactivation

If you plan to ﬂ y your aircraft with a DX4e or DX5e, disconnect the battery from the aircraft before activating

the Expo feature in your transmitter.

Once Expo is activated, it will remain activated for subsequent power cycles of the transmitter. Once Expo is

deactivated, it will remain deactivated until it is activated again.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 58mm back from leading edge

of the wing at the root. This CG location has been

determined with the included 2S 200mAh 7.4V

Li-Po battery.

The battery tray is oversized to allow for Center of

Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery near

the rear edge of the battery tray with the connector

plug facing the front of the aircraft. Adjust as

needed by sliding the battery forward or back.

58mm

1. Gently slide the left and right main landing gear

into the plastic mounting clips on the bottom

of the wings as shown. The main gear are

configured for a left and right side.

2. Carefully slide the nose gear into the plastic

nose gear mount on the bottom of the

fuselage.

Tip: The nose gear strut wire can be twisted a

small amount to adjust the ground tracking.

Always remove the nose gear from the aircraft

before performing this adjustment.

Range Check your Radio System

After ﬁ nal assembly, range check the radio system

with the aircraft. Refer to your speciﬁ c transmitter

instruction manual for range test information.

Flying

We recommend ﬂ ying your E-ﬂ ite

®

UMX

™

MiG 15

DF

outside in no greater than moderate winds or

inside in a large gymnasium. Always avoid ﬂ ying

near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should

also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there

are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards

or soccer ﬁ elds. Consult local laws and ordinances

before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

Hand Launching

To hand launch this model, hold the aircraft fuselage

under the wings. Give a ﬁ rm throw directly into the

wind slightly up (5–10 degrees above the horizon)

with full throttle. After the model gains altitude,

decrease the throttle as you desire.

Tip: The electric ducted fan (EDF) acts like a jet

aircraft, so control is generated by airspeed rather

than air from a propeller moving over the control

surfaces.

Takeoff

Taxi the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into

the wind if ﬂ ying outdoors). Gradually increase the

throttle to full power, holding a small amount of up

elevator and steering with the rudder. Climb gently

to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin

exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the aircraft.

Landing

Always land into the wind. Fly the landing pattern

with a slightly nose high attitude. Use throttle

management to control the decent rate of the

aircraft.

During ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the airplane

pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while

pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft

down on the main wheels or to belly land without

landing gear.

Tip: We recommend that you do not install the

optional nose cannons for belly landings. Installation

of this option could prevent smooth belly landings

on grass and could cause damage to the aircraft.

NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle when landing

the aircraft to prevent intake of foreign objects,

which can damage the ducted fan

and motor.

Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the

lowest possible positions during a crash could result

in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which

may require replacement.

Over Current Protection (OCP)

The MiG 15 DF is equipped with Over Current

Protection. OCP protects the ESC from overheating

and stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is

set too high and the rotor cannot turn. OCP will only

activate when the throttle is positioned just above

1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully

lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

Repairs

Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA glue

or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue

as other types of glue can damage the foam. When

parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts

List for ordering by item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,

refer to the list at the back of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on

your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the

aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

Purchaser’s Remedy

Horizon’s sole obligation and purchaser’s sole and

exclusive remedy shall be that Horizon will, at its option,

either (i) service, or (ii) replace, any Product determined

by Horizon to be defective. Horizon reserves the right

to inspect any and all Product(s) involved in a warranty

claim. Service or replacement decisions are at the sole

discretion of Horizon. Proof of purchase is required for

all warranty claims. SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT AS

HORIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF

SUCH DAMAGES. Further, in no event shall the liability

of Horizon exceed the individual price of the Product on

which liability is asserted. As Horizon has no control over

use, setup, final assembly, modification or misuse, no

liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any resulting

damage or injury. By the act of use, setup or assembly,

the user accepts all resulting liability. If you as the pur-

associated with the use of the Product, purchaser is advi-

sed to return the Product immediately in new and unused

condition to the place of purchase.

which vary from state to state. Horizon reserves the right

to change or modify this warranty at any time without

notice.

WARRANTY SERVICES

Questions, Assistance, and Services

Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase cannot

provide warranty support or service. Once assembly,

setup or use of the Product has been started, you must

contact your local distributor or Horizon directly. This will

ce you in the event that you may need any assistance. For

questions or assistance, please visit our website at www.

horizonhobby.com, submit a Product Support Inquiry, or

call 877.504.0233 toll free to speak to a Product Support

on process found on our website or call Horizon to obtain

a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Pack

the Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note

that original boxes may be included, but are not designed

original sales receipt verifying the proof-of-purcha-

se date. Provided warranty conditions have been met,

Service or replacement decisions are at the sole discreti-

on of Horizon.

Vorbereitung für den Erstﬂ ug

Akku Warnungen

Das im Lieferumfang enthaltene Ladegerät

(EFLUC1007) wurde für das sichere Laden der Li-Po

Akkus entwickelt.

ACHTUNG: Alle Anweisungen und

Warnhinweise müssen genau befolgt werden.

Falsche Handhabung von Li-Po-Akkus kann zu

Brand, Personen- und/oder Sachwertschaden

führen.

• Durch Handhaben, Auﬂ aden oder Verwenden des

inbegriffenen Li-Po-Akkus übernehmen Sie alle

mit Lithiumakkus verbundenen Risiken.

• Sollte der Akku beim Laden oder im Flug beginn-

en, sich auszudehnen oder anzuschwellen

stoppen Sie den Ladevorgang oder den Flug

unverzüglich. Ziehen Sie den Akkustecker, und

bringen Sie den Akku in eine sichere offene

Gegend, weit weg von entﬂ ammbaren Materialien,

und beobachten Sie ihn mindestens 15 Minuten.

Wird mit dem Auﬂ aden oder Entladen eines

Akkus fortgefahren, der sich auszudehnen oder

anzuschwellen begonnen hat, kann dies zu einem

Brand führen.

• Um beste Ergebnisse zu erzielen, lagern Sie

den Akku bei Raumtemperatur an einem

trockenen Ort.

• Beim Transport oder vorübergehenden Lagern

des Akkus sollte der Temperaturbereich zwischen

4°C und 49°C liegen. Bewahren Sie den Akku

bzw. das Modell nicht im Auto oder unter direkter

Sonneneinstrahlung auf. Bei Aufbewahrung in

einem heißen Auto, kann der Akku beschädigt

werden oder sogar Feuer fangen.

• Laden Sie immer den Akku weg von

entﬂ ammbaren Materialien.

• Überprüfen Sie immer den Akku vor dem Laden.

Laden Sie niemals defekte oder beschädigte

Akkus.

• Trennen Sie nach dem Laden immer den Akku

vom Ladegerät und lassen das Ladegerät

zwischen dem Laden abkühlen.

• Überwachen Sie während des Ladevorganges die

Temperatur des Akkus.

• VERWENDEN SIE NUR EIN SPEZIELL GEEIGNETES

LI-PO LADEGERÄT UM LI-PO AKKUS ZU LADEN.

Laden Sie den Akku mit einem nicht geeigneten

Ladegerät kann dieses zu Feuer, Personen- und

Sachschäden führen.

• Entladen Sie niemals Li-Po Zellen unter 3 Volt per

Zelle unter Last.
