programmed for operation specically in this aircraft. The
programming in this ight controller cannot be changed by
the user.
To operate the SAFE
®
or optional SAFE Plus system in this
aircraft, set up your optional DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
transmitter*
using the chart.
- SAFE Plus Flight modes are selected using Channel 5
signal (high, middle, low)
IMPORTANT: A transmitter with a 2-position Channel 5
switch will only allow the use of position 0 or position 2
ight modes. If possible (refer to your transmitter manual),
assign Channel 5 in your transmitter to a 3-position switch
to operate all 3 ight modes.
Refer to your transmitter manual for more information
about transmitter setup.
* The Carbon Cub S2 aircraft is not compatible with DX4e
or DX5e transmitters.

Conrm AUX1 is not reversed. If AUX1 is reversed, the ESC and the GPS system will not arm,
indicated by full down elevator.
CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the ESC with
reversed polarity will cause damage to the ESC,
the battery or both. Damage caused by incorrectly con-
necting the battery is not covered under warranty.

programmed for operation specically in this aircraft. The
programming in this ight controller cannot be changed by
the user.
An extension is installed in the ight controller bind port
so binding may be done through the battery door in the
bottom of the aircraft without having to remove the wing
assembly. Simply insert the bind plug in the open end of
the extension marked “bind” to enter bind mode.
The included RTF transmitter is bound to the aircraft at the
factory. If you need to re-bind for any reason, follow the
binding procedure as shown.
You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for
proper operation. Please refer to the optional parts list in this
manual or visit www.bindny.com for a list of compatible
transmitters.
Refer to your transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle stick is not
put at the lowest position and the throttle trim centered or lower.
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 ofce.
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral, the
throttle is at the lowest position*, the throttle trim is
centered and the aircraft is immobile.
3. Install a bind plug in the bind port extension.
4. Connect the ight battery to the ESC. The ESC will
produce a long tone followed by a series of additional
short tones.
5. The status LED will begin to ash rapidly.
6. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmit-
ter bind button or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s
manual for specic binding instructions.
7. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the orange
bind light on the receiver will turn solid and the ESC will
produce ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is
armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are
low enough to trigger arming.
8. Remove the bind plug from the bind port. The receiver
should retain the binding instructions received from the
transmitter until another binding is done.
9. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the
bind plug to their transmitter using two-part loops and
clips).
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle stick is not put at the lowest position. The
aircraft will not arm when it is upside down.
