CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER TO AURA
Note: The Spektrum 4651T
receiver requires the use of a
di
ff
erent cable to connect to
Aura. The cable is included with
the receiver when it is purchased
directly from Flex Innovations.
You can also purchase the cable
itself at flexinnovations.com
(FPZA1039).
Spektrum Remote Receivers
If using a Spektrum Remote Receiver, connect it to Aura Mini
Port A using the cable provided with your receiver. You can
also choose to add a second remote receiver to Aura Mini
Port B for added redundancy.
Serial Receivers
If using a standard serial receiver, connect the provided male to male cable to
your receiver’s serial port. Connect the other end of the cable to Aura Port B
noting proper polarity.
Aura 8 Auto-Detect
Once your receiver is bound, powered, and connected to the Aura, the Aura will begin the Auto-Detect process to learn what type of receiver you
are using and set itself up for that specific system. Auto-Detect is indicated by a series of sweeping LEDs of various colors. After Auto-Detect is
completed, verify that Aura is on and receiving data from your receiver by looking at the LEDs on the Aura.

ESC THROTTLE CALIBRATION
In order to map the full range of the ESC output to your throttle stick motion you will have to preform an ESC throttle calibration.
NOTE: Execute
ESC throttle calibration with the propeller and spinner removed.
1. Power on your transmitter, DISABLE any throttle hold or throttle kill switches, completely lower the throttle trim and set the stick to full throttle.
2. Connect the flight pack to your Mamba 10 G2.
3. Listen for the tones coming from the ESC through the motor, after about 2 seconds you should hear two tones.
4. Pull your throttle stick back to idle.
5. Listen for the ESC arming tones from the motor.
The ESC throttle range has now been properly calibrated, and is stored in the ESC's memory until it is calibrated again. You can repeat this process
as many times as necessary.
Note: If you are using Futaba
S.Bus, be sure to use the proper
S.Bus port in your receiver. DO
NOT use the S.Bus2 port, as it is
not supported for use with the
Aura 8. Refer to your
manufacturer's instructions for
proper S.Bus use.
Note: When using Spektrum SRXL to connect to the Aura, always connect
the remote receivers to the Spektrum receiver, NOT to the Aura.

transmitter manufacturer’s instructions. This is typically
done by pressing and holding the bind button on your
Spektrum transmitter while powering it on.
4. Verify the receiver is bound by looking at the LED on the
Remote Receiver. This is typically indicated by a solid
orange LED on Spektrum Remote Receivers.
5. Remove the bind plug from Aura Port S8.
