Prefl ight Checklist
1. Charge fl ight battery.
2. Install fl ight battery in aircraft
(once it has been fully charged).
3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.
4. Make sure linkages move freely.
5. Perform Control Direction Test with
transmitter.
6. Adjust center of gravity.
7. Perform a radio system Range Check.
8. Find a safe and open area.
9. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per
cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC
protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge
using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery
discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the
power to the motor in order to leave adequate power
to the receiver and servos to land the airplane.
When the motor power reduces, land the aircraft
immediately and replace or recharge the
fl ight battery.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery
from the aircraft after each fl ight. Charge your
Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage.
Make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. A connected battery will result in trickle
discharge.
For your fi rst fl ights, set your transmitter timer or a
stopwatch to 4 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer
or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.
Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using
proper throttle management.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage
the battery.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
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
TM
DSM2
®
/
DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www.
bindnfl y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
NOTICE:
When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel
is required.
Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a
receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2. Make sure the fl ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Bind the AR6310 receiver to a DSM2 transmitter by shorting
the bind pins (
A
) together with tweezers, a hemostat or small
needle-nose pliers. Metal to metal contact is needed to complete
the circuit.
Do not bend the bind pins.
5. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s
manual for binding button or switch instructions.
6. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle
and throttle trim are in the low position to correctly set failsafe.
7. Connect the fl ight battery to the aircraft. Short the pins until the
receiver LED begins to fl ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).
8. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid,
indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED
does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the
back of the manual.
