Binding is connecting a transmitter to an aircraft receiver wirelessly or electronically so the aircraft receiver recognizes the transmit-
ter GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code. Binding is necessary for proper operation.
Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with an Spektrum module, you may need to reverse the throttle channel.
CAUTION: ALWAYS power on the transmitter before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft ESC. ALWAYS
disconnect the flight battery from the aircraft ESC before powering off the transmitter.
Additional Binding Information
Before each flight, power on the transmitter and wait about five (5) seconds
before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft ESC. The transmitter
scans and secures two radio frequencies for aircraft control. When the flight
battery is connected too quickly for the transmitter to make frequency
selection, the transmitter and receiver may not connect. When there is no
connection, leave the transmitter powered on, disconnect the flight battery
then connect the flight battery to the receiver.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1.
Read transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2.
Make sure transmitter is powered off.
3.
Install a bind plug in the servo extension in the battery compartment.
4.
Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED will begin to flash rapidly.
5.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low
positions (throttle, throttle trim, and flight control trims).*
6.
Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
7.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the ESC signals with a series of sounds. The series
of sounds is a long tone, then three (3) short tones (beeps) that confirm that the LVC set for the
ESC.
8.
Remove the bind plug from the servo extension in the battery compartment and stow extension.
9.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part
loops and clips).
10.
The receiver should keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position.
If problems are encountered, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
The Stinson Reliant requires a DSM2 full range (high power) transmitter. The list below is Spektrum™ or JR® DSM2-equipped full
range transmitters and modules that can bind to the Stinson Reliant’s receiver:
•Spektrum DX5e
•Spektrum DX6i
•Spektrum DX7/DX7se
•JR X9303/9503 2.4
•JR 11X
•JR 12X 2.4
•All SPM Module systems
List is complete as of this printing. Additional compatible transmitters may be available.
Note: A servo extension has been installed so binding may be done through the battery door in the bottom of the aircraft.
