IMPORTANT NOTES ON MODEL PRESETS
ATTENTION: SAFETY FIRST!
The preset model files referenced here can greatly simplify setting up complex
programming in the transmitter/receiver for your favorite aircraft. Because mechanical setups
can vary on some types of models, it is your responsibility to perform all pre-flight setup
and checks recommended in the product manual to ensure all controls are operating in
the proper direction and within the manufacturer's recommended throws. You should also
take time to understand the anticipated flight characteristics for each flight mode that might be
enabled (e.g. AS3X and SAFE Select). These presets are intended for use with the stock
equipment in Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and the recommended/stock equipment for Plug-N-Play (PNP)
models. If it is listed for an Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) model, it is intended for use with the
recommended equipment and setup per that model’s manual. By clicking the links below and
using any of the information and files provided you acknowledge that pre-flight checks are solely
the responsibility of the end user.
