EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. Binding Procedure IMPORTANT: Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft. CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM2 module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection We recommend the E-flite® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S30). Refer to the Optional Parts list for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. 1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Set the flight attitude switch to multirotor flight.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is within 154-168mm, measured from the bottom corner of the front of the FPV camera mount as shown in the illustration. CAUTION: The main motor nacelles must be in the upright, multirotor flight position when checking the center of gravity. Failure to do so will give an incorrect center of gravity and may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
EN Understanding the Primary Flight Controls The Convergence™ aircraft is capable of both forward, airplane flight and vertical, multirotor flight. It is important to understand how the primary flight controls function and how the aircraft reacts in both flight modes. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the controls prior to attempting your first flight.

EN Flying Your Aircraft Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Range Check your Radio System Airplane Flight Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. Fly the aircraft and trim it for level flight per the Trimming Your Aircraft section. The Convergence flys in a very similar manner to any other fixed-wing aircraft.
EN In Flight Trimming Familiarize yourself with the Flying Your Aircraft section prior to trimming your aircraft. Trimming should be done in calm wind conditions and with a fully charged transmitter and flight battery. 1. During your first Airplane Flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at approximately 3/4 throttle. 2. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s flight path. 3.
EN PNP Receiver Selection and Installation The Convergence aircraft is capable of using either the Spektrum™ DSMX® serial receiver (SPM4648), included in the BNF aircraft, or a standard 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. Installation of a DSMX serial receiver 1. Remove the bottom cover from the fuselage. 2. Mount the receiver to the fuselage as shown using double-sided servo tape or hook and loop material. 3.
EN FPV System Installation Items required for FPV installation: • Camera, 650TVL CCD FPV Camera NTSC (SPMVC650) • Video transmitter with the power output appropriate for your region • Antenna, RHCP Omni Right Angle Connector (SPMVX5802) • Power adapter, Air Telemetry Flight Pack Voltage Sensor: EC3 (SPMA9556) • Spektrum 4.3 inch Video Monitor with Headset (SPMVM430C) Installation of a video transmitter 1.
