Binding Procedure

1. Center all trims and move the throttle stick to the lowest position.

2. Power OFF the transmitter.

3. Place the aircraft upright on the wingtip landing gear, on a level surface. Install

a fully charged ﬂ ight battery and connect it to the ﬂ ight controller. The ﬂ ight

controller will beep once and the green LED will ﬂ ash to indicate the ﬂ ight

controller is initializing.

4. When the red LED on the ﬂ ight controller continuously ﬂ ashes, power ON

the transmitter in bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for speciﬁ c

binding instructions.

To enter bind mode in the RTF included DXe transmitter, press and hold the

bind button and then power on the transmitter. The LED indicator will ﬂ ash

rapidly to indicate the transmitter is in bind mode. Release the bind button.

5. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the LED on the receiver glows solid.

IMPORTANT: After binding the receiver and transmitter for the ﬁ rst time, the

transmitter must be powered on before the aircraft. Failure to power on the

transmitter ﬁ rst will cause the receiver to automatically go into bind mode,

requiring the transmitter and receiver to have to be re-bound.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection

The RTF version includes a 2S 7.4V 800mAh LiPo battery (EFLB8002SJ30).

We recommend a 2S 7.4V 450-800mAh LiPo battery. Refer to the Optional Parts

list for other recommended batteries.

Installation

1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the

transmitter and wait approximately 5 seconds.

2. Open the battery hatch.

3. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape to the bottom of

your battery and the hook side to the battery tray. Use enough hook and loop

material to ensure the battery is held securely in place through even the most

violent aerobatic maneuvers.

NOTICE: Failure to use adequate hook and loop material may allow the battery

to become dislodged or ejected in ﬂ ight. Movement of the battery in ﬂ ight may

cause a change of the center of gravity and loss of control.

4. Install the fully charged battery centered in the battery compartment.

5. Connect the battery lead to the aircraft power lead, noting correct polarity.

CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the aircraft power lead with reversed

polarity will cause damage to the ﬂ ight controller and the battery. Damage

caused by incorrectly connecting the battery is not covered under warranty.

6. The aircraft must be either vertical on the landing gear or horizontal on its

back to initialize. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the ﬂ ight

control system may not initialize.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the

motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

7. Close the battery hatch.

8. Refer to the Center of Gravity section to ensure the model balances at the

recommended CG.

The transmitter included with the RTF version of this aircraft is pre-bound to the

receiver at the factory. If for any reason it becomes necessary to re-bind the

transmitter to the receiver, follow the binding procedure in the table.

The BNF version of this product requires an approved Spektrum

™

DSM2

/DSMX

compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of approved

transmitters. Follow the binding procedure in the table to bind your transmitter to

the aicraft receiver.

If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and refer to the

troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If necessary, contact the appropriate
