EN SAFE® Select Technology The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding 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 Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Any Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X® DSM® receiver. For optimal performance, use a transmitter with exponential and dual rates. Binding Procedure 1.
EN Arming the ESC Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. 1 2 Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. 3 Install flight battery and connect it to the ESC. Power on the Transmitter then wait 5 seconds Keep plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds.
EN SAFE® Select Switch Designation To enable and disable SAFE® Select Technology use the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Power on transmitter. Connect battery to the airplane and allow it to initialize. Hold sticks in lower inside corners. Toggle the Channel 5 switch five times. The ailerons will cycle twice, indicating SAFE Select is toggled ON/ OFF. Mode 1 and 2 Transmitters x5 AS3X Control Direction Test This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly.
EN 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.
EN 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 flight, fly the model in low rate. Expos To obtain the best flight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of Dual Rates and Expo.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Flying We recommend flying your E-flite® UMX Gee Bee outside in calm to moderate winds or in a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
EN Additional Safety Precautions and Warnings As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.

EN Service of Power Components Disassembly CAUTION: Before performing any propeller maintenance, always disconnect the battery. Handling the propeller while the aircraft is armed may result in personal injury. Propeller 1. The front of the cowling covers the battery compartment. Lift the cowling to access the battery compartment. C A 2. Carefully remove the screw (A) and the propeller (B) from the motor shaft (C). B Motor and Firewall 1.
EN Troubleshooting Guide AS3X Possible Cause Problem Control surfaces may not have been Control surfaces not mechanically centered from factory at neutral position Aircraft was moved after the flight battery when transmitter controls are at neutral was connected and before sensors initialized Model flies inconsistently from flight to flight Controls oscillate in flight (model rapidly jumps or moves) Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Center control su
EN Troubleshooting Guide (Continued) Problem Possible Cause Solution Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process Power off transmitter, move transmitter a larger distance from aircraft, disconnect and reconnect flight battery to aircraft and follow binding instructions Bind switch or button not held long enough during bind process Power off transmitter and repeat bind process.
