CAUTION
Always connect the battery when the throttle and
throttle trim are in the cut-off position.
Observe the following procedures to safely power up your
model after it has been bound. Ensure propeller is removed
unless sequence is followed to power up before flight.
1. Lower the throttle stick and trim to their lowest setting
and turn on the transmitter. Wait for your transmitter to
indicate the RF signal is being broadcast before proceeding.
If a battery is connected to the ESC with the throttle fully
open on the active transmitter, the ESC will enter into
programming mode. If this occurs, simply disconnect the
battery, lower the throttle, and reconnect the battery.
2. Ensure the rudder, elevator, and aileron gimbals are
centered.
3. With the airplane on a solid surface; connect the battery
tothe ESC and wait. The ESC will emit a series of audible
tones during its initialization process.
4. The ESC will emit a short, final tone sequence indicating
that the ESC is now armed.
CONNECTING BATTERY/ARMING ESC
WARNING
When making adjustments to linkages, transmitter
settings, or the Aura 8 flight control system, remove the
propeller to guard against accidental spool up.
WARNING
Hold aircraft securely when connecting the battery before
flight. Always ensure that the propeller is clear of any and all
objects as they may become entangled.

‡ The shown Aura 8 settings are pre-configured and the unit is ready to use. The chart shown is for
information purposes only. No additional action is required to fly the airplane.
For large (>5%) changes in expo, either (1) make a change in the
Aura programming, or (2) zero expo values in the Aura and rely on
transmitter programming for expo values.
After intial setup is complete, power up the model and bind the
receiver to the transmitter using the instructions provided by the
radio manufacturer.
To bind a DSM connection utilizing a remote receiver, insert a bind
plug in Aura port S8. Power the model and follow the instructions
from the transmitter manufacturer. Remove and store bind plug to
complete the process.
Description of Pre-Loaded Aura Flight Modes
Mode 1:
Flight Control system is off. Rates are set for general
flight (same as FM 2). Exponential is tuned for comfortable flight.
Mode 2:
Flight Control system is on. Gains are moderate and
tuned for comfortable feel/best performance for precision
aerobatics. Expo is tuned for comfortable flight.
Mode 3:
Flight Control system is on. Gains are highest and tuned
for 3D aerobatics. Rate are set to highest. Exponential is tuned for
comfortable flight.
Each of the modes has been tuned by our team to offer a solid
start. Because tastes in control feel are unique, if changes in rate
and expo are needed adjustments may be made through either
the transmitter or Aura 8. Changes on gain value may only be
made through the Aura.
