Trimming the Aircraft
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the aircraft receiver with the identifica-
tion code of the transmitter so the receiver will only connect to that specific
transmitter.
The included transmitter was bound to the aircraft at the factory. If the aircraft
does not respond to transmitter control inputs when the batteries in the aircraft
and transmitter are fully charged, the aircraft receiver and transmitter may need
to be re-bound.
To re-bind the transmitter and receiver:
1. Power OFF the transmitter
2. Set the throttle stick to the low position and all other controls to neutral.*
Ensure the aircraft is immobile.
IMPORTANT:
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not
put at the lowest position.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver will begin to flash
orange.
4. An extension is installed in the receiver bind port. You may bind through the
battery hatch at the front of the aircraft without having to remove the wing
assembly. Simply insert the bind plug in the open end of the extension to
enter bind mode.
5. Press and hold the bind button (button A) on the transmitter while powering
ON the transmitter.
6. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the receiver LED will glow solid,
and the aircraft will begin the initialization process, indicated by the control
surfaces cycling.
7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port extension and store in a safe
place. Once properly bound, the receiver and transmitter will retain their
bind for future flights.
If you encounter problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide. If necessary,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby product support office.
* Failsafe
The receiver stores the position of the transmitter throttle control at the time
of binding as the failsafe position. If the receiver should ever lose communi-
cation with the transmitter, the failsafe function will activate. Failsafe moves
the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was stored
during binding. All other control channels move to put the aircraft in a slowly
descending circle until radio link is re-established.
IMPORTANT:
When finished flying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not
store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage
the foam.
LiPo battery tips:
• Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to
prevent trickle discharge.
• Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity for long term storage.
• During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per
cell.
• Always read and follow all safety warnings and guidelines included with
your LiPo batteries.
Post Flight
Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC.
Power OFF the transmitter.
Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
Recharge the flight battery.
Repair or replace all damaged parts.
Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery
charge.
Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future
flights.
