Transmitter and Receiver Binding
PNP Receiver Selection and Installation
The Spektrum
™
AR630 receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel
full range receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions.
Installation (AR630 shown)
1. Mount the receiver using double-sided servo tape. The receiver
may be mounted upright, upside down or on its side, but it should
be square with the fuselage in its mounting position. The receiver
cannot be mounted at an odd angle.
TIP: For SAFE setups, install the receiver as close to the center of
gravity of the aircraft as practical.
2. Connect the servos to their respective ports on the receiver using
the chart below.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause
a crash. Always perform a control surface check and AS3X
control surface response test before ying a new setup, or after any
setup changes.

IMPORTANT:
When using Y-harness or servo extensions with Spektrum
equipment, do not use reversing harnesses. Using reversing Y-har-
nesses or servo extensions may cause servos to operate erratically or
not function at all.
Programming the AR630 receiver requires a Spektrum

compatible transmitter with Forward Programming. Forward
programming is only available in DSMX.
Binding
The AR630 receiver must be bound to your transmitter before it will
operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specic code
of the transmitter so it will only connect to that specic transmitter.
1. Push and hold the bind button on the receiver while turning the re-
ceiver on. Release the bind button once the orange LED starts to ash
continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
TIP: It is still possible to use a bind plug in the bind port if desired.
This can come in handy if the receiver needs to be mounted in a
location that is difcult to access, in which case a servo extension
may be used for binding. If using a bind plug, remove after binding
to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the
power is turned on.
2. Put your transmitter in bind mode.
3. The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver
is solid.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will
enable the selected failsafe mode. Smart Safe + Hold Last is the
default failsafe mode on the AR630. Preset Failsafe and SAFE Failsafe
modes are only available through Forward Programming.
SmartSafe
+
Hold Last
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle
channel to the failsafe position (low throttle) set during binding. All
other channels will hold their last position. When the receiver detects
the signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset Failsafe
With preset failsafe, you can set the specic control surface positions
you want to use if the signal is lost. When the receiver detects the
signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
SAFE
®
Failsafe
SAFE Failsafe mode will work to automatically level your aircraft if the
signal is lost. In the forward programming menu you can select the
bank and pitch angles the aircraft will attempt to maintain during fail-
safe. We recommend setting bank and pitch angles so the aircraft ies
a gentle gliding turn, preventing a yaway. You must complete First Time
SAFE Setup before this option is available.
SAFE Failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
Testing Failsafe
Secure the aircraft on the ground. Test Failsafe settings by turning the
transmitter RF output off and noting how the receiver drives the control
surfaces.
Receiver Power Only
• The servo ports will not have a control signal if the receiver is
turned on when no transmitter signal is present.
• All channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the
transmitter.
