Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per

cell, it will not hold a charge. The Hyper Taxi 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 quickly decreases

and increases, showing that some battery power is

reserved for ﬂight control and safe landing.

When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft

immediately and recharge the ﬂight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the

aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before

storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity.

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 ﬁrst ﬂights, set your transmitter timer or a

stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer

or shorter ﬂights once you have ﬂown the model.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂying to LVC will damage

the battery.

AS3X Stabilization

DELIVERS BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE

The AS3X System for airplanes is an electronic

enhancement system that makes it possible

for you to experience super-smooth ﬂight

performance, yet still have full control authority

for sport, scale or 3D ﬂight.

Turbulence, torque and tip stalls are just some of

the many complications to assess when trying to

achieve smooth ﬂight. The Horizon Hobby world-

class team of RC pilots developed the AS3X System

for airplanes based on the successful use of AS3X

with ultra micro ﬂybarless helicopters. Specially

tuned for airplanes, the AS3X System invisibly

helps with complicated corrections, allowing you

to experience ultra-smooth ﬂight performance that

feels so natural that you’ll quickly build conﬁdence

in the capability of the airplane.

AS3X System setup is simple. Just bind your

DSM2™/DSMX®transmitter to the model using a

basic airplane program and AS3X will assure that

the locked-in feel and control authority you want is

instantly at your command to help show off your RC

pilot skills.

AS3X will innovate the way you’ll want to ﬂy now

and in the future. To see what we mean, go to

www.E-ﬂiteRC.com/AS3X.

Preﬂight Checklist



1. Charge ﬂight battery.

2. Install ﬂight battery in aircraft

(once it has been fully charged).

3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.

4. Make sure linkages move freely.

5. Perform Control Direction Test with

transmitter.



6. Set dual rates and exponential.

7. Adjust center of gravity

8. Perform a radio system Range Check.

Your E-ﬂite®Hyper Taxi™comes with a 2-Cell 7.4V

180mAh 20C Li-Po battery and a Celectra™2S 7.4V

DC Li-Po Charger which requires a 12V (11V-14V)

DC power source.

Refer to battery warnings. It is recommended to

charge the battery pack while you are inspecting

the aircraft. The ﬂight battery will be required to

conﬁrm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional

battery adapters or AC power supplies.

Charging the Battery

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make

sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2. The connector of the battery is specifically designed to allow it to fit 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) 180mAh battery takes approximately 50–60

minutes at the included charger’s charge rate of 300mAh. The included battery can be charged at a

rate up to 3C (540mAh).

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 fire.

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

Unique Identiﬁer) code of a single speciﬁc transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen SpektrumTM 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. Due to the aerobatic

capabilities of the UMX™Hyper Taxi™, it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential

and dual rates. Please visit www.bindnﬂy.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.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding Procedure

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

2. Make sure the ﬂight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂash 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 ﬂights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂight battery.

The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with the

Hyper Taxi has been designed to safely charge the

Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must

be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries

can result in a ﬁre, personal injury, and/or

property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po

battery you assume all risks associated with

lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or

swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging

or discharging, discontinue and disconnect.

Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery

that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁre.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a

dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery

in a temperature range of 40–120º F. Do not store

battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If

stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or

even catch ﬁre.

• Always charge batteries away from ﬂammable

materials.

• NEVER USE AN Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure

to charge the battery with a compatible charger

may cause ﬁre resulting in personal injury and/or

property damage

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V

under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and

loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside safe

temperature range.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

Battery Warnings

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop

strip under the cockpit. 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 then connect a fully charged flight battery.

Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5 seconds

so the AS3X system initializes correctly. See

the Arming the ESC instructions for correct

connection of the battery to the ESC.

NOTICE: If using a different battery than a 2-Cell

7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po, you will need to apply a

piece of hook and loop fastener to the back of the

battery, opposite the side with the label, in order to

hold the battery in place.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft ESC 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.

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 ﬁrst 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.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller

in response to any throttle movement.

Arming the ESC

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

battery requires the steps below.

Lower throttle and throttle

trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter

then wait 5 seconds

Install ﬂight battery and

connect it to the ESC.

Keep plane immobile

and away from wind for

5 seconds.

Continuous LED

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

2mm

The CG location is 2mm from the rear edge of the

propeller slot.

The battery slot is oversized to allow for Center of

Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at

the front edge of the battery slot with the connector

plug facing the front of the aircraft. Adjust as

needed by sliding the battery back or forward. You

may also turn the battery pack 90 degrees, bringing

the plug to the side.

Control Centering

Before the ﬁrst ﬂights, or in the event of an

accident, make sure the ﬂight 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 be

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

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 ﬂight trimmed

position.

Settings for Control Horns

The following illustration shows the factory settings

for linkages on the control horns. After ﬂying,

carefully adjust the linkage positions for the desired

control response.

CAUTION: Using settings other than the

factory settings, without proper experience, could

result in loss of control of your aircraft and a crash,

causing damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

All Control Surfaces

Bind your aircraft and transmitter before performing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to

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

Tip: Programming for the control surfaces has already been done in the receiver of the Hyper Taxi, so no

mixing is required in the transmitter.

To demonstrate modes 1–4, only the axis being tested is shown.

Always keep throttle at low position during testing.

Dual Rates and Expos

We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual

rates and expo due to the aerobatic capabilities

of the Hyper Taxi. The settings shown here are

recommended starting settings. Adjust according to

individual preferences after initial ﬂight.

If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we

recommend activating Expo for smoother control.

For activation and deactivation of the Expo in the

DX4e and DX5e, see below.

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 signiﬁcant

noise. The noise is not an indication of a

faulty servo.

Tip: For the ﬁrst few ﬂights, ﬂy the model on

low rate.

Activate and Deactivate Expo

1. Put the ACT switch in the down position

(ON) and the Rate switch in the down

position (LO).

2. Push and hold the trainer (bind) button

and move and hold the two sticks (as

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 ﬂy your Hyper Taxi 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 use through subsequent power cycles of the transmitter.

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

DX5e (Modes 1 and 2)

Activate Expo

1. Hold the aileron trim switch to the right when

powering on the transmitter.

2. Release the aileron trim switch after a series

of ascending tones to confirm that Expo is

activated.

Deactivate Expo

1. Hold the aileron trim switch to the left when

powering on the transmitter.

2. Release the aileron trim switch after a series

of descending tones to confirm that Expo is

deactivated.
