General Binding Tips and Failsafe
• The included receiver has been specifically programmed
for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual
for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
• The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly
when the receiver enters bind mode.
• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings
for that transmitter until you re-bind.
• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.
Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll
channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling SAFE Select
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and
automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.
With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch
to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.
IMPORTANT:
Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly
programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT:
Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trims to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and
during binding.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding process.
A bind plug extension has been provided in BNF Basic version models. It will be labeled and located in the battery or radio compartment for easy access.
