Lower the throttle stick and trim to their lowest setting and turn
on the transmitter. Wait for your transmitter to indicate the radio
signal is being broadcast before proceeding.
Ensure the aileron, elevator and rudder gimbals are centered.
With the airplane on a solid surface, connect the battery to the
ESC and wait. The ESC will make the motor emit a series of
audible tones during its intialization process.
The ESC will make the motor emit a short, final tone sequence
idicating that the ESC is now armed, and the motor will spin in
response to throttle stick movement.
If a battery is connected to the ESC with the throttle fully
open on the active transmitter, the ESC will enter
programming mode. If this occurs, simply disconnect the
battery, lower the throttle, and reconnect the battery.
WARNING
When making adjustments to linkages,
transmitter settings or the Aura 8 flight control
system, disengage motor by unplugging from
ESC to guard against accidental spool up.
Hold the aircraft securely when connecting the
battery before flight. Always ensure any and all
objects are clear of the duct inlets and EDF fan
unit as they may become entangled.
WARNING
Always connect the battery when the throttle stick
and throttle trim is in the idle/cut-off position.
CAUTION
RECEIVER INSTALLATION / AURA 8 INSTALLATION NOTE
Throughout the assembly process, we will ask you to power up the radio system. In order to assemble your FlexJet TV properly, It is critical
that the receiver is bound to your transmitter and is communicating with Aura 8.
Please do not proceed until the Aura 8 emits a solid
green LED (Aura received valid signal from reciever) and solid orange LED (Aura has power and calibrated sensor) when powered
up.
Please note, for all systems EXCEPT JR DMSS MODE B, you can temporarily plug a servo into the reciever's aileron port to verify that
your receiver is bound to your transmitter. In the event that you are having difficulties with radio or Aura 8 installation please see the
following:
For issues with your transmitter and/or reciever, please review your transmitter/receiver manual or contact the manufacturer directly.
For issues regarding Aura 8 please reference the following:
• Wiki page: wiki.flexinnovations.com/wiki/Aura
• Email us at [email protected]
• Contact Aura Support at 866-310-3539
While assembling the FlexJet TV, ensure motor is disengaged by unplugging all wire leads that connect the ESC to the motor.
CAUTION
Observe the following procedures to safely power up your model
after it has been bound.
Ensure the motor is unplugged from
ESC unless sequence is followed to power up before flight.
