CAUTION:

 Connecting the battery to the ESC with 

reversed polarity will cause damage to the ESC, 

the battery or both. Damage caused by incorrectly 
connecting the battery is not covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT: 

The included receiver has been programmed 

for operation specifi cally in this aircraft. The programming in 
this receiver cannot be changed by the user.

An extension is installed in the receiver bind port so binding 
may be done through the battery door in the bottom of 
the aircraft without having to remove the wing assembly. 
Simply insert the bind plug in the open end of the extension 
marked “bind” to enter bind mode.

The included RTF transmitter is bound to the aircraft at the 
factory. If you need to re-bind for any reason, follow the 
binding procedure as shown.

You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for 
proper operation. Please refer to the optional parts list in this 
manual or visit www.bindnfl y.com for a list of compatible 
transmitters. 

Refer to your transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver.

The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle stick is not 
put at the lowest position and the throttle trim centered or lower.

If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions 
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other 
instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon 
Product Support offi ce.

IMPORTANT:

 The channel output ports for channels 5, 6 

and 8 have been disabled in the aircraft fl ight controller 
and are labeled with an “X” on the fl ight controller case.
The channel 7 (AUX2) port has been set aside for the 
optional fl aps installation.

Binding Procedure Reference Table

1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral, the 

throttle is at the lowest position*, the throttle trim is 
centered and the aircraft is immobile.

3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port extension.
4. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce 

a long tone followed by a series of additional short tones.

5. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
6. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind 

button or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for 
specifi c binding instructions.

7. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the red bind 

light on the receiver will turn solid and the ESC will 
produce ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is 
armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are 
low enough to trigger arming.

8. Remove the bind plug from the bind port. The receiver 

should retain the binding instructions received from the 
transmitter until another binding is done.

9. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind 

plug to their transmitter using two-part loops and clips).

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle stick is not put at the lowest position.

Install the Main Landing Gear

1. Install 2 wheels 

(A)

 on the strut 

(B)

 using wheel collars and 

spacers. Only the outer wheel collars require a set screw. 
Tighten the set screws on the fl at spots of the strut.

TIP:

 Threadlock may be required to keep the collar on the strut.

2. Install the left and right fairings 

(E)

 (marked L and R) on 

the respective sides of the strut. 

3. Turn the latch 

(F)

 and open the battery hatch.

4. Install the strut in the channels 

(G

) in the fuselage as shown.

5. Install the left and right strut brackets 

(H)

 (marked L and R) 

in the respective slots on the bottom of the fuselage using 
4 screws 

(I)

.

6. Replace the battery hatch and turn the latch.
Disassemble in reverse order.
