TRANSMITTER SETUP
WARNING
Description of Pre-Loaded Aura Flight Modes (FM)
NOTE - Rudder stick movement will also move ailerons
and elevator. This is NORMAL, due to pre-programmed
mixing in the Aura 8 for knife-edge correction.
Each of the modes has been tuned by the Flex Team to offer a
solid start. Because tastes in control feel are unique, if changes
in rates and expo are needed, adjustments should be made
through the
Aura 8,
not in the transmitter
.
Changes in gain
value can only be made through the Aura or via
master gain (if
activated)
.
DO NOT ATTEMPT RADIO SETUP WITH MOTOR PLUGGED INTO ESC. INADVERTENT POWER-UP COULD CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Note: JR Mode B users set Throttle, Aileron, Elevator, Rudder and Gear travels to 88%.
Throttle direction depends on transmitter brand and receiver connection type. Leave at
defaults to start, and reverse as needed.
The FlexJet can fly anywhere between 4 and 5+ minutes (w/6S 5200mAh Li-Po)
depending on flying style and condition of flight battery.

The Aura 8 installed in the FlexJet defaults to 3 flight modes that are
switched via CH6/Aux 1 in your transmitter. You may need to reassign
CH6/Aux 1 to a 3-position switch.
The retracts in the FlexJet are operated via CH5/Gear in your
transmitter. You may need to reassign CH5/Gear to a 2-position switch.
Consult your transmitter manual if you have questions on how to
change the switch or channel assignments.
The Aura comes pre-programmed with dual rates and expos
specifically configured for the FlexJet. For large (greater than 5%)
changes in expo or dual rates, it is highly recommended to reset all
expos and rates to default in the transmitter, and tune through the Aura
Config Tool.
The Aura Config Tool is free to dowload, and can be used on any
Windows-based PC or tablet. Download at:
