Spektrum DXS Transmitter
Install the Transmitter Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Install the included four AA batteries, noting proper polarity.
3. Reinstall the battery cover.
Low Battery Alarm
When the transmitter battery voltage drops below 4.7 volts, an alarm sounds and the voltage LEDs flash. Replace the batteries immediately. If the alarm sounds while flying, land your aircraft as soon as possible.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge only rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting in injury to persons and/or damage to property.
Transmitter Switches and LEDs
Button A = Trainer/Bind/Panic Button: This button is used to control the Trainer,
Bind and Panic Recovery Mode functions.
See the Flight Training section for information on using the transmitter as part of a
"buddy box" training system.
See the Binding section for information on re-binding your transmitter and aircraft if necessary. The included transmitter comes bound to the receiver/aircraft from the factory, therefore binding is not typically necessary.
See the Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology section for information about panic recovery mode.
Switch F = Hi/Lo Rate Switch: This switch supports high and low rate functions on aileron, elevator and rudder channels.
We recommend using low rates when first learning to fly or for smooth and more precise maneuvering, and high rates for more aggressive maneuvers and aerobatics.
In the upper, or “HI” position, servo travel is 100% on these channels.
In the lower, or “LO,” position, servo travel decreases to 70%.
Switch B = Flight Mode Switch: This switch is used to select the SAFE flight mode. See the Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology section for information about the various SAFE flight modes.
Switch H = Throttle Cut Switch: This switch activates throttle cut.
With throttle cut on (switch H,position 1), throttle input from the throttle stick is deactivated. This safety feature ensures any accidental movement of the throttle stick will not activate the motor while the flight battery is connected.
With throttle cut off (switch H, position 0), any position of the throttle stick above the lowest setting will activate the aircraft motor.
NOTICE: Always ensure the throttle stick is at the lowest setting before switching the throttle cut function off. Failure to do so will result in the motor activating.
Switch D = Channel 7 Switch: This switch is not used for this aircraft.
RGB LED and Audible Indications:
Flashing with beeps: The transmitter is in bind mode, because the bind button was held down while the transmitter was powered on. See the Binding section for more information.
Pulsates with one low tone beep every 2 seconds: The transmitter battery voltage has dropped below 4.7 volts. Replace the transmitter batteries immediately.
If this happens while flying, land the aircraft as soon as possible.

Flight Battery Voltage Indicator
The included DXS transmitter is equipped with a flight battery voltage indicator feature that works with compatible Smart technology-equipped receivers, flight controllers and telemetry-capable ESCs. This Smart technology feature gives a visual representation of the approximate flight battery voltage/power remaining via the four LED indicators on the transmitter.
• When the battery is fully charged, all four LEDs glow solid.
• When the throttle is increased, the voltage of the battery drops, causing the LEDs to indicate less voltage and useable capacity of the battery remains, via fewer LEDs glowing solid or flashing.
• When the throttle is decreased, the load on the battery decreases and the voltage of the battery increases, indicated by more LEDs glowing solid or flashing. Over time less of the useable capacity of the battery remains and less power is available, indicated by fewer LEDs glowing solid or flashing.
• When the last LED begins to flash, the flight battery low voltage alarm on the transmitter sounds before the low voltage cutoff function is triggered in the aircraft ESC (see the Flying section for a description of the low voltage cutoff function). The flight battery low voltage alarm sounds for 25 seconds. If the throttle is lowered and the flight battery voltage recovers because enough useable capacity remains in the flight battery, the alarm will stop before 25 seconds. In either case, land the aircraft as soon as practical after the alarm sounds.
To reset the flight battery low voltage warning:
1. After landing, disconnect the flight battery from the aircraft for at least
15 seconds, or until the flight battery voltage indicator LEDs on the DXS transmitter go out.
2. Connect a fully charged battery to the aircraft. The flight battery voltage indicator resets prior to the next flight.

Flight Battery Installation, SAFE System and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) Arming
1. Set the aircraft upright.
2. Lower the transmitter throttle stick to the lowest position and turn on throttle cut (switch H, position 1). With the throttle cut on, throttle input from the throttle stick is deactivated. This safety feature ensures any accidental movement of the throttle stick will not activate the motor while the flight battery is connected.
3. Power on the transmitter and wait at least 5 seconds before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: Always power on the transmitter before connecting the aircraft flight battery to the ESC.
4. Connect the flight battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.
5. Secure the flight battery in the battery compartment using the hook and loop straps so the aircraft is balanced at the correct center of gravity (CG). See the
Center of Gravity section for information on measuring the CG.
TIP: To keep the flight battery from sliding forward or backward in flight, add a strip of adhesive backed hook and loop material to the battery and the battery strap mounts. Apply the soft loop material to the battery and the coarse hook material to the battery strap mounts.
The aircraft should be upright, on level ground and kept immobile until the aircraft system finishes initialization. If the aircraft is moved and does not complete initialization within approximately 30 seconds, disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to re-initialize the system.
After the system initializes, the rudder will move side-to-side, then back to neutral to indicate the SAFE system is ready to operate.
IMPORTANT: If you connect the battery while the throttle is not at its lowest position, the ESC will not arm and the motor will not operate. Reduce throttle to the lowest setting for the ESC to arm.
IMPORTANT: AS3X technology in Experienced Mode is not active until you advance the throttle past 25%. Once it is active, the control surfaces may move when the aircraft is handled/moved. This is normal. The AS3X technology will remain active until the ESC is disconnected.
6. Install the canopy.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft receiver 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.

EN
Center of Gravity (CG)
We recommend watching the “Center of Gravity” chapter/ section of the assembly video by scanning this QR code or using this URL: www.horizonhobby.cc/HabuSTSassembly.
Assembly Video
CAUTION: Never fly the aircraft without ensuring the center of gravity is within the acceptable range. Failure to properly balance the aircraft can result in loss of control and possible damage. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
After installing the flight battery and before powering on the ESC, verify the center of gravity is correct. The CG should fall within 70-105mm from the leading edge of the wing, measured at the wing root. However, for the best flight characteristics, the suggested CG location is 80mm behind the leading edge of the wing, measured at the wing root as shown.
The flight battery and canopy must be installed to balance the aircraft correctly.
Hold the aircraft inverted, with both index fingertips at the suggested CG location, on either side of the fuselage.
• If the aircraft stays level, the aircraft is balanced on the suggested CG location.
• If the nose tips down, move the flight battery rearward until the aircraft balances level on the suggested CG location.
• If the nose tips up, move the flight battery forward until the aircraft balances level on the suggested CG location.
When flying in beginner mode with the correct CG, the aircraft should climb gradually at full power, and fly level at 50-60% power with no added elevator input.
• If the aircraft CG is too far forward (nose heavy), up elevator is required to fly level at 50-60% power.
• If the aircraft CG is too far aft (tail heavy), down elevator is required to fly level.
Adjust the battery position as needed.

Control Direction Test
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test without turning on throttle cut. Serious injury or property damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, DO NOT FLY.
Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information. If you need more assistance, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn on throttle cut (switch H, position 1).
3. Set the flight mode switch to Experienced Mode (switch B, position 2).
IMPORTANT: Do NOT check the controls in the Beginner or Intermediate Modes
(switch B, position 0 or 1).
4. Place the model on level ground away from obstacles.
5. Power on the aircraft, and wait for it to fully initialize.
6. Move the sticks on the transmitter as shown in the table and observe the control surfaces on the aircraft. Ensure the aircraft control surfaces respond as shown and return to neutral when the control input is released.
7. Check for any binding in the control surfaces.
8. With the aircraft on a smooth surface, roll the aircraft forward by hand. Push the rudder trim button on the transmitter left or right until the aircraft tracks straight.
TIP: The transmitter emits a faint beep with each click of the trim buttons in either direction. Holding the button in either direction quickly adjusts the trim several steps until the button is released or until the trim reaches the end of its travel. If the trim button does not beep when clicked, the trim is at the far end of its travel.
Center trim is indicated by a slightly louder beep.
Centering the Control Surfaces
After checking for correct control surface movement and nose wheel alignment, release the transmitter sticks. Check each of the control surfaces to make sure they are centered.
TIP: The nosewheel is centered with the electronic rudder trim. The rudder is then centered manually.
For any surface that is not centered:
1. Slide the retaining sleeve off the clevis.
2. Gently pry the clevis open.
3. Slide the clevis pin out of the control horn.
4. Rotate the clevis on the pushrod to lengthen or shorten the length of the pushrod to adjust the center position of the surface.
5. When the correct position is achieved, slide the clevis pin back into the correct control horn hole.
6. Close the clevis, capturing the control horn between the sides.
7. Slide the retaining sleeve over the clevis to keep the clevis from opening.
Before Your First Flight
Before attempting to fly this aircraft for the first time, we strongly recommend using the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator (RFL1205, sold separately) and a Spektrum WS2000 Wireless Simulator Dongle (SPMWS2000, sold separately) along with the DXS transmitter included with the RTF Basic version to learn and practice the basics of flying. Featuring six popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft
-- including the Habu STS 70mm EDF jet -- and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons, new pilots can learn to fly successfully by practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
We also encourage you to connect with experienced RC pilots in your area through hobby shops or at designated flying fields. And for those located in the United
States, we recommend joining a national organization such as the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA can provide information on local clubs, instructors and established flying sites in your area in addition to insurance coverage. Visit www.modelaircraft.org for more information.

Choose a Flying Field
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is very important to select a place to fly that is very open. We recommend consulting your local hobby shop for information on local flying fields and clubs.
For customers in the United States, visit the Academy of Model Aeronautics at www.modelaircraft.org
for more information on flying clubs.
Remember, this aircraft can reach significant speeds when flying and will cover ground very quickly. Plan on flying in an area that gives you more space than you think you need, especially during the initial flights.
The chosen flying site should:
• Have a minimum of 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all directions.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
• Be clear of people and pets.
Range Test
WARNING: While holding the aircraft during the range test, always keep body parts and loose items away from the motor. Failure to do so could cause personal injury.
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, you should perform a range check.
The included Spektrum DXS transmitter incorporates a range check mode to reduce the output power of the transmitter so you don't have to be as far away from the receiver to check the range. Follow the directions below to enter range check mode for the DXS transmitter:
1. With the throttle stick set to the lowest setting, power on the transmitter for at least 5 seconds.
2. With the help of an assistant to hold the aircraft, connect the aircraft battery to the ESC connector. Keep the aircraft immobile for 5 seconds.
3. Face the model, holding the transmitter in your normal flying position.
4. Press and hold the bind button (button A) and toggle the HI/LO rate switch
(switch F) up and down twice. The transmitter RGB LED will flash and the alarm will sound, indicating the system is in range check mode. Do not release the bind button until the range check is complete.
IMPORTANT: You must hold the bind button through the entire range check process. Releasing the button will exit range check mode.
5. With the model firmly restrained on the ground, stand approximately 30 paces away from the model.
TIP: In some aircraft, when the model is placed on the ground, the antenna(s) can be within inches of the ground. Close proximity of the antenna(s) to the ground can reduce the effectiveness of the range check. If you experience issues during the range check, restrain the model on a non-conductive stand or table up to
2ft (60cm) above the ground, then range check the system again.
6. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and throttle controls to ensure they operate smoothly at approximately 30 paces. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fly. Refer to the Warranty and Service Contact Information table at the end of the this manual to contact Horizon Hobby product support.
7. When the range check is successfully completed, release the bind button to exit range check mode.
CAUTION: Due to reduced output power of the transmitter, NEVER attempt to fly while the transmitter is in range check mode. Loss of control will occur.

Flight Control
IMPORTANT: Even though SAFE technology is a very helpful tool, the aircraft still needs to be flown manually. If incorrect input is given at lower altitudes or at slower speeds, the aircraft can crash. Study these control inputs and the aircraft response to each carefully before attempting your first flight. For first flights, set the
SAFE ® flight mode switch to Beginner Mode (switch B, position 0). For smooth control of your aircraft, always make small corrections. All directions are described as if you were sitting in the aircraft.
Throttle, Faster or Slower
• Push the throttle stick forward to make the aircraft go faster and climb.
• Pull the throttle stick back to slow down and descend.
Elevator Up and Down
• Pull the elevator stick back to make the nose of the aircraft go up.
• Push the elevator stick forward to make the nose of the aircraft go down.
Aileron Right and Left
• Move the aileron stick right to make the aircraft roll or bank right.
• Move the aileron stick left to make the aircraft roll or bank left.
TIP: Always picture yourself in the aircraft when determining which way to bank the aircraft wings.
• When the aircraft is flying away from you, banking the aircraft right or left appears normal.
• When flying toward you, the aircraft will appear to bank the opposite direction to the control input given. This will become more instinctual with experience.
TIP: When flying toward yourself, if one of the wings drops, move the aileron stick toward the low wing to level the aircraft.
Rudder Right and Left
• Push the rudder stick right to yaw the aircraft nose to the right.
• Push the rudder stick left to yaw the aircraft nose to the left.
The rudder stick is also used to steer the aircraft left and right while taxiing on the ground.
TIP: Similar to aileron control, picture yourself in the aircraft to determine which direction to point the nose whether you are flying away from yourself or toward yourself.

(wing tips up and down) angles are still limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne, but you will have more freedom in pitch and roll.
Pitch Roll
• NO self-leveling: self-leveling is only active in Beginner Mode.
TIP: When flying in Intermediate Mode, the Habu STS will automatically be in
Beginner Mode when below 100 feet.
Experienced Mode
(switch B, position 2)
NO flight envelope limits: There are no pitch or roll limits, and no selfleveling, so you have complete control!
You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and more.
Pitch Roll
Panic Recovery
This function is intended to provide you with the confidence to continue to improve your flight skills. If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in an unknown or uncomfortable attitude in any flight mode:
1. Press the Bind/Panic button (button A) on the transmitter and release the control sticks. The aircraft will immediately pull out of a dive and roll wings upright and level.
IMPORTANT: The aircraft will recover to a safer attitude even if sticks are held while holding the Panic button. However, release the control sticks for the quickest recovery.
2. Release the Panic button and continue your flight.
CAUTION: The panic recovery function will not avoid obstacles in the aircraft flight path. Sufficient altitude is required for the aircraft to return to straight and level flight if the aircraft is upside down when the panic function is applied.

Flying
This aircraft is relatively easy to fly and helps you apply beginner skills to flying; however, we recommend you get help from a qualified flight instructor for your first radio controlled flights. Some model flying clubs provide flight training at their flying fields. Find a nearby flying club through your local hobby shop. In the U.S., visit the
Academy of Model Aeronautics at www.modelaircraft.org for more information on clubs and flight instruction.
Takeoff
Set the flight mode switch to Beginner mode (switch B, position 0) for your first flights. Set a flight timer for 5 minutes. Adjust the flight timer for later flights, depending on your flight battery choice.
Position the aircraft on the runway, facing into the wind. Slowly advance the throttle to start the takeoff roll into the wind. Small rudder inputs may be required to keep the aircraft headed straight. As the throttle is advanced and sufficient speed is attained the aircraft will begin a slow climb out.
TIP: Rudder / nose wheel control throw is automatically set for taxi mode in beginner mode when on the ground and under 6 meters of altitude. This provides more control to taxi the aircraft and yaw control during landings. Once airborne, rudder control throw is automatically reduced to beginner flight mode.

In Flight
Continue to climb into the wind at full throttle, until the aircraft reaches about
50 feet (15 meters). Gradually turn the aircraft away from you while still maintaining altitude. Begin a turn by banking the aircraft slightly with the aileron stick. Gently pull back on the elevator stick to pull the aircraft around the turn and to maintain altitude. When the aircraft reaches the heading desired, simply apply the opposite aileron to level the wings and ease off the elevator.
Climb to about 200 feet (60 meters) and reduce the throttle to around 50%. Adjust the throttle up or down to maintain altitude. Try not to get the aircraft too high or far away, making it difficult to see.
As you are flying:
• Fly at a high enough altitude to give yourself time to react to what the aircraft is doing.
• Make small and gentle stick movements to see how the aircraft responds.
• Practice flying in large circles, high off the ground. Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest skills to master when learning to fly. Flying in circles will give you experience viewing the aircraft from all angles.
• If you lose orientation of the aircraft, press and hold the Panic Recovery button and release the sticks. The aircraft will return to level flight. Release the button to continue your flight.
IMPORTANT: Although the Habu STS has a very large flight envelope, unlike a more conventional propeller driven aircraft, the electric ducted fan does not have air from the propeller moving over the control surfaces at slower speeds. This aircraft depends on airspeed to maintain control responsiveness. Allowing the aircraft to fly too slowly can cause loss of control effectiveness.
When properly trimmed, the aircraft’s wing design causes the aircraft to climb at full throttle and descend at reduced throttle without the use of elevator.
Full throttle 50% throttle Reduced throttle
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle cut or quickly lower the throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do so could result in greater damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
15
EN
Landing
1. Reduce the throttle to around 50% to slow the airspeed.
2. Fly the aircraft downwind past the end of the runway.
3. Turn the aircraft into the wind and line the aircraft up with the runway center line.
4. Gradually decrease the throttle further to begin descending towards the runway, keeping the wings level during approach. Try to have the aircraft at approximately 10 feet (3 meters) altitude as it passes over the threshold of the runway.
5. As the aircraft passes over the threshold of the runway decrease the throttle.
6. Just as the aircraft is about to touch down, gently pull back on the elevator to raise the nose, or flare, for a gentle landing on the main landing gear. The goal is to be at a low enough speed so the aircraft will not climb when the landing flare is started.
TIP: If the aircraft bounces back into the air, either increase the throttle slightly and ease the aircraft gently back down to the runway, or increase the throttle to full power, climb out and go around to begin the landing process again.
7. Continue using the rudder stick to steer the aircraft straight down the runway, allowing the aircraft to roll to a stop.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle cut or quickly lower the throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do so could result in greater damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
IMPORTANT: When finished flying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Low Voltage Cutoff is a function built into the electronic speed control to protect the battery from over-discharge. When the flight battery charge is low, LVC limits power supplied to the motor so the flight controls receive sufficient energy to safely land the aircraft.
When LVC engages, the aircraft will slow and the motor will begin to pulse. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and charge the flight battery.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to the low voltage cutoff will damage the battery.

Trimming the Aircraft
Adjusting Trim in Flight
If your aircraft does not fly straight and level at half throttle with the sticks at neutral, fly into the wind and adjust the trim sliders as indicated in the table until the aircraft maintains a reasonably straight and level flight path.
• Trimming is best done in calm wind conditions.
• The SAFE flight mode switch should be set to Experienced mode (switch B, position 2) before adjusting the trims.
After the aircraft is trimmed in flight, land the aircraft and proceed to the Manually
Adjusting Trim section to re-center the servos and set the trim mechanically.
The included DXS transmitter features electronic trim buttons. The transmitter emits a faint beep with each click of the trim buttons in either direction. Holding the button in either direction quickly adjusts the trim several steps until the button is released or until the trim reaches the end of its travel. If the trim button does not beep when clicked, the trim is at the far end of its travel. Center trim is indicated by a slightly louder beep.
TIP: Trim the aircraft at sufficient altitude of about 100' (30 meters). Having an experienced flight instructor trim your aircraft during the first flight is recommended.

Manually Adjusting Trim
After adjusting the aircraft trims in the air, the servos should be re-centered and the pushrods adjusted to reflect the trim changes made in the air. Doing so ensures the servos will retain full throw and not overdrive in either direction.
1. After landing from the trim flight, set the throttle cut to ON (switch H, position 1).
2. Set the flight mode switch to experienced mode (switch B, position 2). Ensure the aircraft is kept immobile.
3. One at a time, take note of any offset in position of each control surface.
4. Remove the clevis from the control horn of the control surface by sliding the soft rubber tube back along the pushrod. Gently pry the clevis open and slide the pin out of the control horn.
5. Center the transmitter trim for that control surface.
6. Adjust the clevis in or out by rotating the clevis on the pushrod until the control surface position matches the corrected offset when the clevis pin is inserted in the control horn.
7. Re-insert the clevis pin in the correct hole in the control horn.
8. Snap the clevis closed, capturing the control horn between the clevis sides.
9. Slide the soft rubber tube over the clevis to keep it from opening.
10. Move to the next control surface and repeat steps 3 through 9, until all of the transmitter control surface trims are centered.

Post Flight
Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC.
Power OFF the transmitter.
Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
Recharge the flight battery.
Repair or replace all damaged parts.
Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the aircraft receiver with the identification code of the transmitter so the receiver will only connect to that specific transmitter.
The included transmitter was bound to the aircraft at the factory. If the aircraft does not respond to transmitter control inputs when the batteries in the aircraft and transmitter are fully charged, the aircraft receiver and transmitter may need to be re-bound.
To re-bind the transmitter and receiver:
1. Power OFF the transmitter
2. Set the throttle stick to the low position and all other controls to neutral.*
Ensure the aircraft is immobile.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The flight controller LED will begin to flash red and blue.
4. The aircraft receiver is attached to the inside of the battery compartment, as shown in the illustration. Press and release the bind button on the receiver. The receiver LED will flash rapidly.
5. Press and hold the bind button (button A) on the transmitter while powering ON the transmitter.
6. Watch the LED on the aircraft receiver. The receiver LED will glow solid when the receiver and transmitter are bound. Once properly bound, the receiver and transmitter will retain their bind for future flights.
If you encounter problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide. If necessary, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby product support office.
IMPORTANT: When finished flying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
LiPo battery tips:
• Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
• Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity for long term storage.
• During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
• Always read and follow all safety warnings and guidelines included with your
LiPo batteries.

* Failsafe
The receiver stores the position of the transmitter throttle control at the time of binding as the failsafe position. If the receiver should ever lose communication with the transmitter, the failsafe function will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was stored during binding.
All other control channels move to put the aircraft in a slowly descending circle until radio link is re-established.

Flight Training
To the new pilot:
This aircraft is easy to fly and helps you apply beginner skills to flying; however, we recommend you get help from a qualified flight instructor for your first radio controlled flights. Some model flying clubs provide flight training at their flying fields. Find a nearby flying club through your local hobby shop. In the U.S., visit the
Academy of Model Aeronautics at www.modelaircraft.org for more information on clubs and flight instruction.
To the flight instructor:
Feel free to experiment with the SAFE technology before instructing your student on this aircraft. The progressive switch positions in the SAFE technology are intended for a new pilot to learn with minimal instructor assistance. We recommend using
Flight Mode Switch Position 1 to instruct a new pilot. Switch positions 0 and 2 may stabilize the aircraft more or less than desired for instruction purposes.
DXS Wireless Trainer Feature
Your DXS transmitter may be connected wirelessly to another transmitter through the SRXL2 DSMX Remote Receiver (SPM9747, sold separately).
The DXS transmitter is ideal as the instructor transmitter as it is compatible with all
Spektrum transmitters when using this feature. Servo reversing and trims must be the same on both transmitters.
This “buddy box” approach has helped many new pilots get the feel for aircraft control with the close assistance of a flight instructor. Connecting two transmitters enables your flight instructor to hold the master transmitter while you hold the slave transmitter. While you learn to fly, the instructor holds the trainer switch to give you control of the aircraft. If you need help, the flight instructor can release the switch to take control.
IMPORTANT: If a transmitter other than the included DXS is used as the instructor or student transmitter, refer to Buddy Box Setup section below.
Remote Receiver Installation
1. Open the battery door
2. Connect the remote receiver cable to the wireless trainer port.
3. Install the remote receiver in the cavity behind the battery door with double sided tape.

Optional Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) Upgrade
The Habu STS is upgradable with the addition of the optional LAS module
(SPMA3180, not included) this allows the advanced SAFE features to be combined with a Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) for smoother gentler landings.
IMPORTANT: For best results when using LAS, land on grass surfaces or a light colored surface, such as light colored concrete. Black surfaces or water normally do not have enough reflection for the sensor to receive accurate readings.
Installation of the LAS Module
Rotate the aircraft to access the bottom of the fuselage.
1. Press the factory installed plug ( A ) to release it. Then removed it from the LAS pocket. Save the plug for flights without LAS module.
2. Feed the LAS connector through the channel in the base of the LAS pocket.
3. Align the LAS module with the wires facing the back of the aircraft. Place the
LAS module into the pocket and press it to secure it into place with a click.
4. Place the aircraft on its landing gear and connect the LAS connector to Port 7 on the flight controller. For correct polarity of the plug ensure that the orange
(not brown) signal wire ( B ) is facing towards the front of the aircraft when plugged into the flight controller.
Landing with LAS
Reduce throttle, keep the wings level and slowly reduce the altitude of the aircraft. When the aircraft’s landing approach reaches an altitude of approximately
1meter the LAS will level the aircraft, manage the throttle and flare the aircraft for touchdown.
IMPORTANT: LAS is functional for all SAFE flight modes except Experienced mode. When the flight mode is switched to experienced mode the LAS is deactivated and the pilot will have zero assistance on landing. A traditional manual landing of the aircraft is necessary.
IMPORTANT: The LAS module is not auto-land. The aircraft must be actively guided, aligned with the landing strip for landing, and flown down to approximately 1 meter above the runway before the sensor activates.
TIP: If the speed of aircraft is too fast for landing or the throttle is above 20%, the
LAS is not effective.
TIP: If the aircraft landing approach is too low and fast, LAS will not flare.

Optional Transmitter Setup
To use a Spektrum transmitter other than the included DXS, use the setup table which corresponds to your transmitter series, DX, NX or iX series, to program the transmitter.
When using the recommended setup, the transmitter switch layout is as follows:
• Switch B Selects the Flight mode; Beginner (position 0),
Intermediate (position 1), Experienced (position 2)
• Button I controls the Panic mode (depressed activates Panic mode)
• Switch F controls the aileron dual rates
• Switch C controls the elevator dual rates
• Switch G controls the rudder dual rates.
• Switch H controls the throttle cut.
IMPORTANT: After completing the transmitter setup or making any changes to the transmitter setup, the transmitter and receiver must be re-bound to save the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Make the initial flights in low rate, changing to high rate elevator for landing.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values below 50%. If less control deflection is desired, manually adjust the position of the pushrods on the servo arm
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Glossary of Important Terms
Aileron: Control surface found on the trailing edge of each wing. Giving right aileron control causes the right aileron to deflect up and the left aileron to deflect down, making the aircraft roll to the right. Giving left aileron control causes the left aileron to deflect up and the right aileron to deflect down, making the aircraft roll left.
AS3X: Active Stabilization, 3-Axis. An electronic stability system that counters outside forces such as wind, turbulence, torque, tip-stall, control sensitivity issues due to CG position, to make the aircraft fly more smoothly, and provide a better flying experience.
Binding: The process of electronically linking the transmitter to the receiver. The aircraft will then recognize only a particular transmitter.
Center of Gravity (CG): Point at which the aircraft balances, most notably from front to back.
Clevis: The U-shaped connector at the end of the aircraft pushrod which allows adjustment of the pushrod length.
Control Throw: The distance a control surface deflects, normally measured from the widest point of the control surface.
Dual Rate: Setting found in the transmitter which allows two different control throw distances when the control stick is deflected fully. Using a low rate gives less control throw at full deflection and thus a less sensitive feel to the aircraft.
Using high rate gives greater control throw at full deflection and thus a more sensitive feel to the aircraft.
EDF: Electric Ducted Fan
Elevator: Control surface found on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
Up elevator causes the aircraft to pitch up. Down elevator causes the aircraft to pitch down.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): an electronic device that controls and regulates the speed of the motor. It has connections from the battery, to the motor, and to the Receiver.
Exponential: A setting programmed in the transmitter which allows the pilot to tailor the sensitivity of the controls around neutral. Increasing the exponential value creates a softer control feel around neutral, thus making the aircraft less sensitive to control inputs. Exponential only affects the controls around neutral.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC): A safety feature built into the electronic speed control which activates when the battery voltage drops below a determined level, cutting power to the motor, but still providing power to the receiver and servos, allowing the aircraft to be landed safely.
Pitch: The rotation of the aircraft nose up or down, controlled by the elevator.
Range Test: Test to check the transmitter and receiver are functioning properly.
The test is done by setting the transmitter to a low-power mode and testing the control function from a set distance.
Receiver: an electronic device installed in the aircraft which decodes the control inputs sent from the transmitter and sends the inputs to the servos.
Roll: Left and right rotation of the aircraft around the longitudinal axis.
Rudder: Control surface found on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. Right rudder control causes the nose of the aircraft to turn to the right. Left rudder causes the nose of the aircraft to turn left.
Sensor-Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology: Offers smoother flight capability that battles windy conditions for you and multiple modes so you can fly with the level of protection and assistance that suits any given moment of the flight.
Servo: Electronic component which translates the control signals from the receiver into movement of a control surface. The servo is connected to the control surface with a pushrod.
Throttle: Control input which regulates the speed of the motor. A higher throttle setting makes the motor rotate faster, thus increasing forward thrust. A lower throttle setting makes the motor rotate slower, thus decreasing forward thrust.
Transmitter: Control unit held by the pilot which sends signals to the aircraft.
Yaw: Left or right rotation of the aircraft nose, controlled by the rudder.

AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code
Effective January 1, 2018
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight within visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and related AMA guidelines, any additional rules specific to the flying site, as well as all applicable laws and regulations.
As an AMA member I agree:
• I will not fly a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.
• I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human-carrying aircraftusing AMA’s See and Avoid Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.
• I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the influence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.
• I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
• I will fly Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in compliance with AMA’s safety programming.
• I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to me. When using an advanced flight system, such as an autopilot, or flying First-Person View (FPV),
I will comply with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.
• I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel, if certified through AMA’s Large Model Airplane Program.
• I will only fly a turbine-powered model aircraft in compliance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.
• I will not fly a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s) located at the flightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.
• I will use an established safety line to separate all model aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
