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

• Always constantly monitor the temperature
of the battery pack while charging.
• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge
the battery with a compatible charger may cause
a fi re 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
recommended levels.
• Never charge damaged batteries.
• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
