Binding Procedure
1. Center all trims and move the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Power OFF the transmitter.
3. Place the aircraft upright on the wingtip landing gear, on a level surface. Install
a fully charged flight battery and connect it to the flight controller. The flight
controller will beep once and the green LED will flash to indicate the flight
controller is initializing.
4. When the red LED on the flight controller continuously flashes, power ON
the transmitter in bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for specific
binding instructions.
To enter bind mode in the RTF included DXe transmitter, press and hold the
bind button and then power on the transmitter. The LED indicator will flash
rapidly to indicate the transmitter is in bind mode. Release the bind button.
5. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the LED on the receiver glows solid.
IMPORTANT: After binding the receiver and transmitter for the first time, the
transmitter must be powered on before the aircraft. Failure to power on the
transmitter first will cause the receiver to automatically go into bind mode,
requiring the transmitter and receiver to have to be re-bound.
Battery Installation and ESC Arming
Battery Selection
The RTF version includes a 2S 7.4V 800mAh LiPo battery (EFLB8002SJ30).
We recommend a 2S 7.4V 450-800mAh LiPo battery. Refer to the Optional Parts
list for other recommended batteries.
Installation
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter and wait approximately 5 seconds.
2. Open the battery hatch.
3. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape to the bottom of
your battery and the hook side to the battery tray. Use enough hook and loop
material to ensure the battery is held securely in place through even the most
violent aerobatic maneuvers.
NOTICE: Failure to use adequate hook and loop material may allow the battery
to become dislodged or ejected in flight. Movement of the battery in flight may
cause a change of the center of gravity and loss of control.
4. Install the fully charged battery centered in the battery compartment.
5. Connect the battery lead to the aircraft power lead, noting correct polarity.
CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the aircraft power lead with reversed
polarity will cause damage to the flight controller and the battery. Damage
caused by incorrectly connecting the battery is not covered under warranty.
6. The aircraft must be either vertical on the landing gear or horizontal on its
back to initialize. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the flight
control system may not initialize.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
7. Close the battery hatch.
8. Refer to the Center of Gravity section to ensure the model balances at the
recommended CG.
The transmitter included with the RTF version of this aircraft is pre-bound to the
receiver at the factory. If for any reason it becomes necessary to re-bind the
transmitter to the receiver, follow the binding procedure in the table.
The BNF version of this product requires an approved Spektrum™DSM2®/DSMX®
compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved
transmitters. Follow the binding procedure in the table to bind your transmitter to
the aicraft receiver.
If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and refer to the
troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If necessary, contact the appropriate
Horizon Product Support office.

Flight Control Direction Tests
Transmitter Input Test
This test ensures that the flight control system is reacting properly to your
transmitter inputs. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver
before performing this test.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from the
propellers at all times, as these items could become entangled.
Set the transmitter flight mode switch to stability mode (position 1).
Holding the aircraft horizontal at the tail, arm the flight control system by pressing
and releasing the arming button on the transmitter. The aircraft surfaces will
deflect quickly in either direction and then to center to indicate the control system
is now armed. Once the flight control system is active, the control surfaces may
move rapidly. This is normal.
Move the transmitter controls as shown in the “Transmitter Input” column of the
table. The control surfaces should react to your inputs by moving in the directions
shown in the “Control Surface Reaction” column. If any of the control surfaces do
not respond in the proper direction, ensure the corresponding transmitter channel
is NOT reversed.
Transmitter Input Control Surface Reaction (viewed from the rear)
Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure control
surfaces are centered when the transmitter controls and trims are neutral. The
transmitter sub-trim must be set to zero. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the
control surfaces are not centered.
Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter. Make the U-shape
wider to make the linkage longer.
Control Centering
Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG location is within 126-136mm
(measured forward from the trailing edge of the wing).
CAUTION: Failure to confirm the correct center of gravity may cause a loss
of control and a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Stability System Reaction Test
This test ensures that the flight control system is reacting properly to external
forces, such as wind. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the
receiver before performing this test.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from the
propellers at all times, as these items could become entangled.
Set the transmitter flight mode switch to stability mode (position 1).
Holding the aircraft horizontal at the tail, arm the flight control system by pressing
and releasing the arming button on the transmitter. The aircraft surfaces will
deflect quickly in either direction and then to center to indicate the control system
is now armed. Once the flight control system is active, the control surfaces may
move rapidly. This is normal.
Pivot the entire aircraft as shown in the “Aircraft Movement” column of the table.
The control surfaces should react to your movements by moving in the directions
shown in the “Control Surface Reaction” column. If the control surfaces do not
respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Contact Horizon Product Support.

Accessing Acro Mode in the RTF X-VERT
CAUTION: Acro mode is intended only for experienced pilots who have
mastered fixed wing aerobatic flight. Attempting to use acro mode
without the necessary flight experience may cause loss of control, property
damage or a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
To access acro mode:
1. Power on the transmitter
2. Power on the aircraft, allowing it to initialize fully.
3. Hold the transmitter sticks to the
bottom, inside corners and quickly cycle
the flight mode switch from position 0 to
position 2 and back 3 times.
The control surfaces will cycle multiple
times. If successful, the LED on the flight
control board will show both green and
red LEDs when the flight mode switch is set to acro mode (position 2).
Once accessed, acro mode will be available whenever the aircraft is powered on.
It is not necessary to unlock the mode every time the aircraft is powered on.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls
The X-VERT aircraft is capable of both vertical, multirotor-style flight and forward, airplane-style flight. It is important to understand how the primary flight controls
function and how the aircraft reacts in both flight modes. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the controls prior to attempting your first flight.

Flying Your Aircraft
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
NOTICE: While the aircraft is capable of forward flight in light to moderate winds, we
recommend using multirotor mode only in very light wind or calm conditions. Using
multirotor mode or transitioning from forward flight to multirotor mode in windy
conditions will cause the aircraft to be blown downwind and could cause a loss of
control or a crash. Use only the forward flight modes for flying in windy conditions.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.
Just Before Flight
The recommended battery is the EFLB8002SJ30 800mAh LiPo. For best results,
always use a fresh battery. Due to the increased battery draw of this or any vertical
lift aircraft, using an old or worn battery will give far shorter flight times.
For your first flights with the recommended 800mAh battery pack, set your
transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 8 minutes.
NOTICE: Never fly the aircraft without first setting and activating a timer.
After 8 minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights
depending on your preference and battery usage.
Arming
The X-VERT can be armed in any of the three flight modes. The active flight
mode during arming determines how the aircraft will indicate it is armed and
ready for flight.
Prior to arming, lower the throttle to the lowest setting. The aircraft will not arm
unless the throttle is fully lowered.
When the aircraft is armed in multirotor mode, the motors will spin up to idle speed.
When the aircraft is armed in either stability or acro mode, the elevons will cycle
and then return to center. The motors will not run until throttle is applied.
IMPORTANT: As a safety feature, arming in one flight mode and changing to
another flight mode prior to adding throttle will cause the aircraft to disarm.
Vertical Takeoff
1. Place the aircraft vertically on the landing gear on a flat, level surface with the
top facing you. The aircraft must be sitting vertically to arm in multirotor mode.
2. Set the flight mode to multirotor flight.
3. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting. The aircraft will not arm unless the
throttle is fully lowered.
4. Arm the aircraft by pressing and holding the motor arm/disarm switch. When
the aircraft is armed in multirotor mode the motors will spin up to idle speed.
5. Gradually increase the throttle until the model lifts off and is approximately
2 ft. (600mm) off the ground. Avoid forcing the aircraft into the air.
Hovering and Vertical Flight
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the aircraft in one spot. If
flying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After
moving the aileron/elevator stick and returning it to center the model should
level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the stick in the
opposite direction to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into flying the model
to different locations, keeping the top pointed towards you at all times to aid with
orientation. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick.
When comfortable with these maneuvers, attempt flying with the aircraft in
different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the flight control inputs
will rotate with the aircraft, so always try to picture the control inputs relative
to the nose of the aircraft. For example, pushing the elevator stick forward will
always pitch the nose toward the bottom of the fuselage, causing the aircraft to
move forward and vice versa.
Hovering and multirotor flight is best attempted in low wind conditions.
Attempting to fly in higher winds will cause the aircraft to drift downwind
dramatically if the top or bottom are turned into the wind. It is possible to hold
position somewhat if the aircraft is turned sideways into the wind, but this is
recommended only for more experienced pilots.
Lowering the throttle to descend while flying in multirotor mode in choppy or
windy conditions may cause the aircraft to appear “bouncy” or erratic. This is
normal as the flight controller reacts to compensate for the moving air.
Transitioning In Flight
To transition to stability, forward flight from multirotor flight, change the
flight mode switch on your transmitter to the stability flight mode position. The
throttle will increase slightly and the aircraft will pitch forward until forward flight
attitude has been achieved. It is normal to have some slight oscillations in pitch
as the aircraft transitions into forward flight. While in stability flight mode the
motors use differential thrust to provide yaw control.
NOTICE: Always fly in a clear and open area. While the transition from
multirotor to forward flight does not require much space, you will not be able to
change the direction of flight until the transition is complete. NEVER attempt to
transition to forward flight indoors in anything but a large open space such as a
large gymnasium.
To transition to multirotor flight from forward flight, reduce the airspeed
and change the flight mode switch on your transmitter to the multirotor flight
position. The throttle will increase slightly and the aircraft will pitch up until it
reaches a multirotor attitude.
NOTICE: If you are flying in wind, the aircraft will be blown downwind after it
transitions to vertical mode.
Transition to vertical flight at low throttle will cause the aircraft to descend until
more throttle is applied.
Stability and Acro Forward Flight
Fly the aircraft and trim it for level flight per the In Flight Trimming section.
The X-VERT flies in a very similar manner in forward flight to any other fixed-
wing aircraft. It is capable of a wide range of aerobatic maneuvers, including
loops and rolls. Additionally, the differential thrust of the motors allows for unique
spinning and tumbling maneuvers.
Hand Launching
Hand launching is preferred when flying in higher winds or when vertical takeoff
may not be possible.
1. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting. The aircraft will not arm unless the
throttle is fully lowered.
2. Power on the model normally, allowing it to initialize completely.
3. Set the flight mode switch to stability mode.
4. Hold the aircraft horizontal, with a firm grip at the rear-center of the airframe,
being careful not to interfere with the control surfaces.
5. Arm the aircraft by pressing and holding the motor arm/disarm switch. When the
aircraft is armed in either stability or acro mode, the control surfaces will cycle left
and right and then return to center. The aircraft is now armed in stability mode. The
motors are armed and will run with any throttle input.
6. Increase the throttle to approximately 50–75%.
7. Give the aircraft a light, underhand toss into the wind.
Landing
The preferred method of landing is to transition the aircraft into multirotor flight
mode and bring it into a low hover. Slowly lower the throttle to descend to a
soft landing. Immediately activate throttle cut or press and hold the motor arm/
disarm switch to stop the motors when the aircraft touches down. Failure to stop
the motors may cause the aircraft to skip or hop across the ground if the flight
controller does not recognize the aircraft has landed.
It is possible to land the aircraft in forward flight as well when conditions
dictate it, such as in high wind. To land while in a forward flight mode, turn the
aircraft into the wind and lower the throttle to decrease the forward speed. Fly
the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less above the runway, using
a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the
aircraft is ready to touch down.
Just before touch down, keep the wings level and the airplane pointed into the
wind. Gently lower the throttle while easing back on the elevator to bring the
aircraft to touch down on the runway as slowly and gently as possible. Using
stability mode for landings will help stabilize the aircraft.
IMPORTANT: The aircraft will automatically disarm after sitting for approximately
3 seconds with no throttle, no control inputs or aircraft movement.
The average flight time with a mixture of multirotor and forward flight using the
recommended 800mAh flight battery is approximately 8 minutes.

After landing disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate the throttle cut to immediately stop
the motors to reduce the possibility of damage to the airframe and electronic
components.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: Never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.
Propeller Inspection
Inspect the propellers after every flight. Check for breaks, cracks or bends of
the propeller tips. Even minor damage may affect the flight performance of the
aircraft and may cause unwanted yaw under throttle in forward flight. If any
damage is found, replace the propeller before attempting additional flights.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low
Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to approzimately 3.45V per
cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power
to the receiver and servos to land the aircraft.
How the LVC function is indicated is dependent on which flight mode is active.
While in vertical mode, the motor power will decrease. The aircraft will respond
sluggishly to throttle and will gradually not be able to gain or hold altitude.
When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or
recharge the flight battery.
While in either of the forward flight modes, the motors will cut off briefly and
power back on. If the motors cut off or surge in power, land immediately and
replace or recharge the flight battery. Transition back to vertical mode is possible
if done early in the LVC
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC may damage the flight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a
Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam™material in this aircraft, most repairs to the foam can be
made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts
are not repairable, refer to the parts list at the end of this manual for a listing of
all replacement and optional parts for ordering by item number.
Post Flight
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the flight controller
2. Power OFF the transmitter.
3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4. Recharge the flight battery.
5. Repair or replace all damaged parts.
6. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
7. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for
future flights.
Familiarize yourself with the Flying Your Aircraft section prior to trimming your
aircraft. Trimming should be done in calm wind conditions and with a fully
charged transmitter and flight battery. Trimming should only be necessary in acro
mode, as the flight controller will compensate for minor trim issues in multirotor
and stability modes. It is important to make any trim adjustments mechanically
in the control linkages and re-set the transmitter trims to center to keep any
changes made from affecting multirotor and stability modes.
1. Power on and takeoff normally.
2. Change the flight mode to acro and fly straight and level at approximately
3/4 throttle.
3. Trim the aircraft for level flight using the trim buttons on the transmitter.
4. When the aircraft maintains reasonable straight and level flight, land the aircraft.
5. Set the flight mode back to acro mode if it was changed for landing. Power
cycle the aircraft. Do not activate the throttle. Take note of the neutral postion
of the control surfaces.
6. Adjust the control linkages mechanically, as shown in the “Control Centering”
section, to compensate for the amount of trim entered.
7. Re-center the trims on the transmitter. The transmitter trims should always
be centered for best flight performance.
8. Fly the aircraft again to check the changes made.
9. Repeat the trimming process until the aircraft will maintain reasonable
straight and level forward flight without excessive control corrections.
When the initial trimming process is done, the aircraft should not require large
amounts of trimming on subsequent flights. If large amounts of trim are needed
to hold straight and level on later flights, land the aircraft and check the control
surfaces for damage or binding.
In Flight Trimming
CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor
service.
Motor Removal
1. Disconnect the motor lead from the flight control board.
2. Remove the propeller retention screw and propeller from the motor shaft.
3. Looking through the hole in the bottom of the motor nacelle, remove the
setscrew from the motor mount.
4. Very carefully remove the tape covering the motor wire lead.
5. Pull the motor from the motor mount, feeding the motor wire lead through the
nacelle.
Assemble in reverse order.
Note: The illustration shows the propeller guard removed for clarity.
It is not necessary to remove the guards to replace the motors.

FPV System Installation (Optional)
If you are operating this product in North America, you are required to have
an Amateur Radio (HAM) license. Visit www.arrl.org for more information.
Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment.
In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are
responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.
Items required for FPV installation and operation:
• FPV Camera Mount with Servo (EFL1812)
• FPV Camera (SPMVCM01)
• 150mW Video Transmitter (SPMVTM150) North America only
• 25mW Video Transmitter (SPMVTM025) European Union only
• Spektrum™4.3 inch Video Monitor with Headset (SPMVM430C) or suitable
headset or ground station
Installing the Optional FPV System
1. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
2. Install the camera to the camera mount with double sided tape. The camera
should be installed so the wiring harness is at the top left side of the mount
as shown (a).
3. Peel the backing from the double stick tape of the FPV mount.
4. Attach the mount to the nose of the aircraft as shown (b), making sure the
mount is centered and level to the aircraft.
5. Connect the 4 pin/ 3-wire connector of the y-harness to the open terminal (c)
on the flight control board.
6. Connect the 2-wire power connector of the y-harness to the video transmitter
power lead (d).
7. Connect the 3-wire extension to the terminal on the video transmitter (e).
8. Apply double-sided tape to the bottom of the video transmitter and slide it under
the flight control board as shown (f). It should slide in far enough that about half
of the transmitter is under the flight control board and the channel button and
LEDs are still visible. Do not force the transmitter any farther.
9. Determine whether you wish to route the wire leads internally or externally
around the fuselage and into the battery hatch.
If routing the wires internally, carefully drill a hole through the fuselage as
shown (g), large enough to accomodate the servo and camera connectors,
from the nose of the aircraft into the battery compartment.
10. Route the servo end of the y-harness and the camera extension from the
battery compartment to the FPV mount.
11. Connect the servo lead to the y-harness connector.
12. Connect the camera lead to the 3-wire extension. Leave enough slack in the
wire extension at the nose so the camera mount can pivot through its full
range of travel without binding.

Operating the FPV Mount
The FPV camera mount does not require any programming or additional channels
in the transmitter. All functions are controlled by the flight control board on the
aircraft. Changing between the flight modes with the flight mode switch moves
the camera to one of two preset positions.
• While in multirotor mode the camera faces toward the bottom of the aircraft.
This allows for a forward view while flying in multirotor mode.
• While in either of the forward flight modes, stability or acro, the camera faces
toward the front of the aircraft.
The angle of the camera can be adjusted slightly for your preferred optimal viewing
angle by adjusting the length of the control rod on the camera mount. Refer to the
Control Centering section for a description of how to adjust the length of the control
rod. Ensure any adjustments made to the camera control rod do not cause binding
in either the multirotor or forward flight mode camera positions.
NOTICE: Never try to move the mount up or down by hand. Damage to the
mount servo may result.
Operating the Video Transmitter
Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment.
In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are
responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.

(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts
except for helicopters operated under the provisions of AMA Document
#555.
(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or while
using any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s ability to safely
control the model.
(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode
or burn, or any device which propels a projectile or drops any object that
creates a hazard to persons or property.
Exceptions:
• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and are securely
attached to the model aircraft during flight.
• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size may be used
provided they remain attached to the model during flight. Model rockets
may be flown in accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety
Code but may not be launched from model aircraft.
• Officially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to
use devices and practices as defined within the Team AMA Program
Document (AMA Document #718).
(j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with the AMA
