Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific
transmitter. It will be necessary for you to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum DSM2
technology equipped transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
The following is a list of some of the Spektrum DSM2 equipped transmitters
and modules that will bind to the receiver of the Mustang:
ParkZone Vapor/Ember 2 Transmitter Spektrum DX6i
E-flite LP5DSM
Spektrum DX7/DX7se
E-flite MLP4DSM
JR X9303 2.4
E-flite HP6DSM
JR 12X 2.4
Spektrum DX5e
Note: The Spektrum DX6 (SPM2460) is equipped with DSM
(not DSM2) technology and is not compatible with the receiver of
the P-51D Mustang BNF.
The following steps outline the binding process:
• Confirm the process of entering the bind mode for your chosen
transmitter by reviewing the instruction manual included with the
transmitter.
• Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the receiver unit and
the transmitter is turned off.
• Plug the flight battery into the receiver unit. After 5 seconds the LED
on the receiver unit will begin flashing. On the P-51D, look through the
opening under the spinner on the front of the airplane to see the red
LED flashing.
• After verifying the LED is flashing on the receiver, follow the steps that
allow your chosen transmitter to enter bind mode.
• If you entered bind mode correctly, you will see a solid LED
approximately 5–10 seconds later on the receiver. You should now be
bound to the transmitter, and have full control and function.
If you encounter any problems, repeat the binding process again, see the
troubleshooting guide or call the Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
MLP4DSM:
A. To bind your P-51D to the MLP4DSM, first plug the flight battery into
the airplane.
B. When you see the LED on the receiver begin to flash while looking
through the opening at the front of the P-51D under the spinner, push
the left stick of the transmitter inward into the case (NOT pulling down
on throttle stick) until you hear it click.
C. While pushing the stick in, power on the transmitter, release stick once
the transmitter is powered on. The transmitter will beep and the LED
on the face of the transmitter will pulse.
D. Once the transmitter stops beeping it will take a second or two to con-
nect with the airplane.
DX5e:
A. To bind your P-51D Mustang to the DX5e, plug the battery into the
receiver of the airplane. The LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
B. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe
positions (low throttle and neutral control positions).
C. Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning the
transmitter on. Release the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front
of the transmitter flash.
D. The LED on the receiver will go solid red and the system will connect
after several seconds.
DX6i:
A. Select a new model memory or the chosen model memory that you
want for the P-51D.
B. To bind your P-51D Mustang to the DX6i, plug the battery into the
receiver of the airplane. The LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
