UMX Timber X BNF
6
The UMX Timber X includes a flaperon option. Activate it
using transmitter stick and switch movements.
The ailerons function normally from the factory, respond-
ing to aileron input from the transmitter.
To control the ailerons as flaps, activate the flaperon
option. Once activated, use the Flap System menu in the
transmitter to command the ailerons down together, acting
as flaps.
Additionally, the ailerons can move up together, acting
as spoilers. The flaperons continue to respond to aileron
commands for roll control while they move down or up for
flaps/spoilers.
Engage the flaperon feature using these steps:
1. Power ON the transmitter.
2. Power ON the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks in opposite corners to
command low throttle, left rudder, down elevator, and
right aileron.
4. Toggle the gear switch (CH5) 5 times (1 toggle=full
up and down). The control surfaces move, as this is
alternately selecting AS3X and SAFE modes. You will
notice a change in the movement pattern as flaperon is
turned ON or OFF.
5. Repeat this process to turn flaperon functionality ON
or OFF.
Advanced Setup
SAFE
®
Select Technology
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, flip the Gear channel switch to
position 0. Return the Gear switch to position 1 to turn
OFF SAFE Select and fly with just the assistance of AS3X
®
technology.
If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in a confusing
attitude, flip 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
flying, 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 to re-enable or disable SAFE Select.
DX4e, DX5e, DXe, and DXS Transmitters
