Choose a Flying Field
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is
very important to select a place to fly that is very open.
Remember, your aircraft can reach significant speeds when flying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on flying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with first flights.
The flying site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet(400m)
of clear space in all directions.
• Be clear of people and pets.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could
entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
Range Test
HOLD
4X
WARNING:
While holding the aircraft during the range test, always keep
body parts and loose items away from the motor. Failure to do so could
cause personal injury.
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, you should
perform a range check. If you have the PNP aircraft, refer to your transmitter
manual to perform a range check of your system.
The RTF included DXS transmitter incorporates a range check mode to reduce
the output power of the transmitter. Follow the directions below to enter range
check mode for the DXS transmitter:
1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with the throttle stick and
trim low. Plug in the aircraft battery and keep the aircraft immobile for
5 seconds.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position.
3. Toggle (back and forth = 1 toggle) the HI/LO Rate switch rapidly 4 times
and then press and hold the bind button. The transmitter LEDs will flash
and the alarm will sound. The system is in range check mode. Do not let go
of the bind button until you are finished with the range check.
IMPORTANT:
You must hold the BIND/Panic button during the entire range
check process. Releasing the button will exit the range check mode.
4. With the radio system powered on and the model restrained on the ground,
stand 28 meters (90 feet) away from the model.
TIP:
In some aircraft, when the model is placed on the ground, the antenna(s)
can be within inches of the ground. Close proximity of the antenna(s) to the
ground can reduce the effectiveness of the range check. If you experience
issues during the range check, restrain the model on a non-conductive stand
or table up to 2ft (60cm) above the ground, then range check the system again.
5. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and throttle controls to ensure
they operate smoothly at 28 meters (90 feet).
6. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fly. Refer to the contact table at the
end of the this manual to contact Horizon Hobby product support. Also, see
the Spektrum website for more information.
7. When the range check is successfully completed, release the bind button to
exit range check mode.
CAUTION:
Due to reduced output power of the transmitter, NEVER
attempt to fly while the transmitter is in range check mode. Loss of
control will occur.
