EN The E-flite® Ultra Micro eXtreme (UMX™) Hyper Taxi™ BNF is a totally new 3D thrill ride. Combined in one symmetrical design, you get the most fun airplane and helicopter capabilities in one convenient package, including hyper-agility and super-solid stability for vertical takeoff and landings. Although it looks complicated, its breakthrough AS3X™ System helps make flying this clever machine enjoyable in any attitude from stand-still hovers to forward flight.
EN Preflight Checklist 1. Charge flight battery. 6. Set dual rates and exponential. 2. Install flight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 7. Adjust center of gravity 3. Bind aircraft to transmitter. 8. Perform a radio system Range Check. 4. Make sure linkages move freely. 9. Find a safe and open area. 5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter. 10. Plan flight for flying field conditions.
EN Charging the Battery 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. 2S 7.
EN Battery Warnings 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.
EN 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.
EN Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 2mm from the rear edge of the propeller slot. 2mm 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.
EN Control Direction Test 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.
EN 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.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Flying We recommend flying your E-flite® Hyper Taxi™ indoors or outside only in 8 mph (13 km) winds or less. 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 in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others. This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control.
EN Service of Power Components CAUTION: DO NOT handle propeller parts while the flight battery is connected. Personal injury could result. B A 1. Gently hold the nose of the aircraft and remove the prop screw (A), propeller (B) and propeller spacer (C) from the motor shaft (D). Hold the motor so it does not turn when the screw is turned. 2. Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires. C D 3. Remove the screw (E) and the motor (F) from the motor mount (G) on the fuselage. F 4.
