1.   Lift the front edge of the canopy (

A

) and pull the canopy forward and up 

from the fuselage.  

2.   Install the included fl ight battery (

B

) all the way to the front of the 

battery tray.

3.   Connect the battery connector to the ESC connector.
4.   Make sure the battery is secure in the battery compartment using hook 

and loop straps (

C

). 

5.   Align the canopy pins with the two holes in the fuselage and install the 

canopy so the magnets on the front of the canopy and fuselage meet.

Disassemble the model in reverse order.

CAUTION:

 Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft 

receiver when not fl ying 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 fi re when batteries 
are charged.

CAUTION

: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, 

the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

BIND PLUG

Binding Procedure Reference Table

Set up the transmitter for delta wing elevons before binding.

1.

 

Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2.

 

Make sure the transmitter is powered off.

3.

 

Move the transmitter controls to neutral (fl ight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) and to low 
positions (throttle, throttle trim).*

4.

 

Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port extension.

5. 

 

Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC.

6.

 

Power on the ESC switch. 

The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.

7.

 

Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your 
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

8.

 

When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver will be solid and the ESC will 
produce a series of sounds. A long tone followed by three short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for 
the ESC. 

9.

 

Remove the bind plug from the bind port extension.

10.

 

Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part 
loops and clips).

11.

 

The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the transmitter until another bind-
ing is done.

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow binding instructions and refer 
to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions.  If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce. 

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You 
need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

Before binding: 

1.    Choose a blank model memory 

with only default (zero) settings 
(including trim and sub-trim).

2.   Choose Wing Type as Delta 

Wing or Elevons. 

3.   Set servo reversing (as recom-

mended in the “Transmitter 
Setup” section).
