Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is
very important to select a place to fly that is very open.
Remember, your aircraft can reach significant speeds when flying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on flying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with first flights.
The flying site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all
directions.
• Be clear of people and pets.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could entangle
your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.

Range Test
4X
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, you should
perform a range check. If you have the BNF aircraft, refer to your transmitter
manual to perform a range check of your system.
The included transmitter incorporates a range check mode to reduce the
output power of the transmitter. Follow the directions below to enter range
check mode for the transmitter:
1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with the throttle stick low
and throttle trim centered.
2. Power on the aircraft, keeping it immobile for 5 seconds.
3. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position.
4. Press and hold switch A (Bind button) and toggle switch F four times within
10 seconds. The transmitter LEDs will flash orange and the alarm will
sound. The system is in range check mode. Do not let go of the bind button
until you are finished with the range check.
IMPORTANT: You must hold the bind button during the entire range check
process. Releasing the button will immediately exit the range check mode and
you will need to start again.
5. With the radio system powered on and the model safely restrained on the
ground, stand 28 meters (90 feet) away from the model.
TIP: In some aircraft, when the model is placed on the ground, the antenna(s)
can be within inches of the ground. Close proximity of the antenna(s) to the
ground can reduce the effectiveness of the range check. If you experience
issues during the range check, restrain the model on a non-conductive stand
or table up to 2ft (60cm) above the ground, then range check the system again.
6. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and throttle controls to ensure
they operate smoothly.
7. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fly. Refer to the contact table at the
end of the this manual to contact Horizon Hobby product support. Also, see
the Spektrum website for more information.
8. When the range check is successfully completed, release the bind button to
exit range check mode.
CAUTION: Never attempt to fly while the transmitter is in range
check mode due to reduced output power of the transmitter. Loss of
control will occur.
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test with the
propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage
could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
WARNING: While holding the aircraft during the range test, always
keep body parts and loose items away from the motor. Failure to do
so could cause personal injury.
