Transmitter and Receiver

Binding

IMPORTANT: The included receiver has been

programmed for operation only in this aircraft.

The included RTF transmitter should be bound to the

aircraft at the factory, but if you need to re-bind, follow

the binding procedure as shown.

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle

control is not put at the lowest position. If you encounter

problems, follow the binding instructions and refer to the

transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If

needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product

Support ofﬁ ce.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the throttle cut switch is not in the

“ARM” position.

Binding Procedure Reference Table

1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.

2. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral,

the throttle and throttle trim are in the low posi-

tion, and the aircraft is immobile.

3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft, then

place the aircraft upright and on its wheels. The

receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash.

5. Press and hold the trainer button on the top

of the transmitter while turning on the

power switch.

6. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the

light on the receiver will turn solid and the ESC

will produce a series of three ascending tones.

The tones will indicate the ESC is armed, pro-

vided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low

enough to trigger arming.

7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.

8. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach

the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part

loops and clips).

The receiver should retain the binding instructions received

from the transmitter until another binding is done.

The included DSMX full range transmitter features a dual rates switch

which lets you change between high and low control rates for the aileron,

elevator and rudder.

When powered ON, this transmitter is automatically set to high-rate mode.

Hi/Low Rate Switch (Dual Rates)

Mode 2 Mode 1

BIND PLUG

High-rate mode

In high-rate mode, the controls can reach their maximum values. This

mode is typically preferred by experienced pilots for maximum

control authority.

Low-rate mode

In low-rate mode, the controls are reduced to approximately 70% of

their maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by (and best

for) beginner pilots or others interested in smoother and more easily

controlled ﬂ ight.
