1.  Carefully lift the back of the canopy hatch (

A

) and pull hatch pins from the 

holes in the fuselage to remove the hatch. 

2.  Install fl ight battery (

B

) all the way to the front of the battery compartment, 

making certain that it does not bind on the nose wheel steering.

3.  Connect battery connector to the ESC power connector. 
4.  Make sure the fl ight battery (

B

) is held tight using a hook and loop strap (

C

).

5. Install canopy hatch on fuselage. Make sure the magnets on the hatch and 

fuselage touch.

CAUTION:

 Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft 

receiver when not fl ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries 
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may be 
damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fi re when batteries 
are charged.

CAUTION

: Always keep hands 

away from the propeller. When armed, 
the motor will turn the propeller in 
response to any throttle movement.

BIND PLUG

Binding Procedure Reference Table

1. 

Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. 

Make sure the transmitter is powered off.

3. 

Move the transmitter controls to neutral and throttle position to low (including throttle trim).*

4. 

Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.

5.   Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC.

6. 

The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.

7. 

Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your 
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

8. 

When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver will be solid and the ESC will 
produce three short tones . 

9. 

Remove the bind plug from the bind port.

10.  Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part 

loops and clips).

11.  The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the transmitter until another 

binding is done.

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow binding instructions and refer to 
the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions.  If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce. 

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You 
need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
