Designed by aerobatic world champion Quique Somenzini, the Ultra Micro extreme (UMX) Beast 3D BNF
Basic is a thrilling small-scale recreation of one of the most awe-inspiring airplanes ever created. At its
heart is the revolutionary AS3X System built in to help provide you with a true 3D experience, the ability
to y indoors, and handle windy conditions outdoors. The added punch of its stronger 2500Kv, 180BL
outrunner motor delivers an outstanding thrust to weight ratio. But beyond the capability to better perform
all-out 3D, you will nd that the Beast 3D with AS3X gives you unmatched precision in its size-class and
remarkably stable handling. Surprisingly, all of the performance possible from the UMX Beast 3D BNF
Basic only requires basic radio programming. And even though your new model is fully assembled, please
read and follow this manual completely to be sure youre ready to take full advantage of what this awesome
RC aircraft has to offer.

Any JR or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the EFLU4864 receiver. Due to the aerobatic
capabilities of the UMX Beast 3D, it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with dual rates. Please
visit www.bindny.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
NOTICE: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel is
required.
Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitters unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Make sure the ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Connect the ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ash rapidly. (Typically after 5 seconds).
5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitters manual for binding button or switch instructions.
7. After ve to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the
transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to Troubleshooting Guide at back of manual.
For subsequent ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ight battery.

The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the rst time. Once the AS3X
is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal.
AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller
in response to any throttle movement.
