IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always

rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired

failsafe positions.

If your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle

cut feature. Always engage throttle cut before

approaching the aircraft.

Dual Rates

Low rate is recommended for the initial ights.

NOTICE: To ensure AS3X® technology functions

properly, do not lower rate values below 50%.

NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer

to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Exponential

After your initial ights, you may adjust the expo

value to better suit your ying style.

Transmitter Setup

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identier)

code of a single specic transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology

equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver.

Binding Procedure

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

(location of transmitter’s Bind control).

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

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Place the aircraft on a level surface away from wind.

5. Connect the ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ash rapidly (typically after

5 seconds).

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

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

switch instructions.

8. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn 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 ights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ight battery.

This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can provide information including; RPM, voltage,

motor current, throttle setting (%), FET (speed controller) temperature, and BEC (servo power supply) temperature.

To View Telemetry:

1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Power on the aircraft.

4. A signal bar appears in the top left corner of the screen when the telemetry information is being received.

5. Scroll past the servo monitor to view the technology screens.

1-2-3-4-5 Sec.

NOTICE: Always keep material or debris away

from the intake. When armed, the rotor will turn in

response to throttle movement and could ingest

loose objects.

The UMX A-10 requires a 3S 850mAh Li-Po

battery with an IC2 connector (SPMX8503S30

recommended). Add a piece of hook and loop

material (hook side) to the side of the fuselage

along the battery compartment. Add a small piece

of hook and loop material (soft side) to the side of

the battery at the same end as the power lead. It is

important to only use a small piece to prevent the

battery from shifting. Using too large of a piece will

make it difcult to remove the battery and may lead

to fuselage damage.

Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding

as previously described, but subsequent connection

of a ight battery requires the following steps.

1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the

lowest settings on your transmitter.

2. Remove the battery/canopy hatch from the

fuselage and install a flight battery (A) all the

way to the back of the battery comportment.

Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 32-34mm back from the

leading edge of the wing at the root. Balance the

airplane inverted on this recommended CG mark

with all landing gear installed. Adjust as needed by

sliding the battery forward or back.

3. Power ON your Transmitter,

then wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper

polarity. Keep the plane immobile and away

from wind for 5 seconds to allow the AS3X

system to initialize.

A successful connection is indicated by:

– A series of tones

– A continuous LED

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the ESC when not ying to

eliminate power supplied to the motor. The ESC

does not have an arming switch and will respond

to any transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the ESC when not 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 re when batteries

are charged.

SAFE® Select Technology

Mode 1 and 2 transmitters

X 5

100%

When SAFE Select is activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling the aircraft.

Additionally, by releasing the controls in the event you lose orientation, SAFE Select will keep the

aircraft level.

To activate SAFE® Select, ip the Gear channel switch to position 0. Return the Gear switch to position 1 to

turn OFF SAFE Select and y with just the assistance of AS3X® technology.

If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in a confusing attitude, ip the Gear switch to position 0 and

release the sticks. With the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will

automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.

Disabling and Enabling SAFE Select

By default, the SAFE Select function of your UMX aircraft is enabled and assigned to the Gear channel

switch (channel 5). If you do not wish to have access to SAFE Select while ying, you can choose to disable

SAFE Select functionality. AS3X will still be active when SAFE Select is disabled.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to disable or enable SAFE Select, ensure the aileron, elevator, rudder,

throttle and gear channels are all on high rate with the travel set to 100%. Turn throttle hold OFF if it is

programmed in the transmitter.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts clear of the rotor, intake and exhaust tube and keep the aircraft

securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.

1. Power on the transmitter.

2. Power on the aircraft.

3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom

corners and toggle the Gear switch 5 times

(1 toggle = full up and down). The control

surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating SAFE

Select has been enabled or disabled.

Repeat the process again to re-enable or

disable SAFE Select.

DX4e, DX5e, DXe, and DXS Transmitters

The Gear switch is the FMODE switch on the these

transmitters, and the switch needs to be toggled

between position 0 and 2 when disabling/enabling SAFE Select.

Control Centering

Factory Control Horn Settings

The illustration shows the factory settings for

linkages on the control horns. Linkage connections

on the control horns directly affect aircraft response. Rudder Ailerons Elevator

Before the rst ights, or in the event of an

accident, make sure the 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. Ensure SAFE Select is OFF.

2. 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.

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

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

4. 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. Do not trim the

aircraft while SAFE Select is active. Always trim

the aircraft in AS3X mode. If the model requires

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 ight trimmed position.

EN

Landing Gear Removal

The landing gear may be left installed or removed

to suit your ying area. We recommend using the

landing gear when you can take off and land from

a smooth surface. If you have long grass you may

choose to remove the landing gear, in which case you

will need to hand launch the aircraft and belly land.

1. Carefully pull the gear straight out of the

retainer clip that secures it into the fuselage.

When needed, assemble in reverse order.

When the landing gear is reinstalled, make sure the

nose gear is angled forward as shown.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Range Check your Radio System

After nal assembly, range check the radio system

with the aircraft. Refer to your specic transmitter

instruction manual for range test information.

Flying

We recommend ying your aircraft outside in no greater

than moderate winds or inside in a very large indoor

facility. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires

and buildings. Be careful to avoid ying in areas where

there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards

or soccer elds. Consult local laws and ordinances

before choosing a location to y your aircraft.

Hand Launching

Hold the aircraft above the wings between the

canopy and motor nacelles. Apply full throttle and

launch directly into the wind with an underhand

toss with the nose pointed up at approximately 45

degrees above the horizon.

Tip: Electric ducted fan (EDF) aircraft require airspeed

for control and have less control authority at slow

speeds without a propeller slipstream moving air over

the control surfaces.

Takeoff

Taxi the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into

the wind if 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 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 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.

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 aircraft 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.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

LVC is a function built into your ESC to protect the

battery from over-discharge. When the battery

charge is low, LVC limits power supplied to the

motor. The aircraft will begin to slow and you

will hear the motor pulse. When the motor power

decreases, land the aircraft immediately and

recharge the ight battery.

NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will damage the

battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from

the aircraft after use to prevent 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.

For your rst ights, set your transmitter timer

or a stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for

longer or shorter ights once you have own the

model.

SAFE Select Flying Tips

When ying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level ight any time the aileron and elevator

controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The

amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane ies. Holding full control will push the

aircraft to the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.

When ying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deected with moderate aileron input

when ying through a turn. To y smoothly with SAFE Select, avoid making frequent control changes and

don’t attempt to correct for minor deviations. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to

y at a specic angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that ight attitude.

When ying with SAFE Select, throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend. Full throttle will cause the aircraft

to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid throttle will keep the airplane ying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to

descend slightly nose-down.

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 Select and AS3X modes

This section is generally accurate but does not take into account ight speed, battery charge status, and

other limiting factors.

Motor Service

Disassembly

CAUTION: DO NOT handle the rotor or

motor while the ight battery is connected.

Personal injury could result.

1. In order to access the motor connector(s) it is

necessary to separate the top and bottom of

the fuselage to access the receiver/ESC. The

top and bottom fuselage parts are secured with

glue and clear tape. Carefully cut the clear tape

and follow the seam with a knife to cut the glue

and remove the bottom of the fuselage.

NOTICE:

Removing tape or decals can damage paint

on your aircraft. Avoid pinching or otherwise damaging

any wires when opening or closing the fuselage.

2. Disconnect the motor(s) from the receiver.

3. The fan may be accessed at any time for

service by removing the two screws securing

it to the front of the motor.

4. The motor may be removed by accessing the

rear of the fan assembly through the back of

the fan unit. You do not need to separate the

nacelle in order to service the motor.
