Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www. bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

Binding Procedure



CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM® module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe

instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound

to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

™

DSM2/DSMX technology

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the airplane.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery

from the aircraft after each ﬂ ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Failure to unplug a connected battery will result in trickle discharge.

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

1-2-3-4-5 Sec.

ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the

propellers. When armed, the motors will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Arming the ESC/receiver also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight battery requires the following steps.

AS3X

The AS3X throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once active, the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X technology will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

1. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage.

2. Attach the battery to the hook and loop strip so

system will not activate until the

the battery is as far forward as the hatch will allow.

Center of Gravity (CG)

At the wing root, measure the CG location 37mm back from the forward-most leading edge of the top wing.

3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings on your transmitter. Power on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity. Keep the plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds to allow the AS3X system to initialize. A continuous LED indicates a successful connection.

37mm

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to eliminate power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an arming switch and will respond to any transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

Control Direction Tests

Traditional Control Direction Test

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the

proper direction. Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

AS3X® Control Direction Test

This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly.

1. Advance the throttle to 25% to activate the AS3X system.

2. Fully lower the throttle.

3. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual

for more information.

Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X is active until the battery is disconnected.

movement

ElevatorAileronRudder

AS3X Reaction

Control Centering

Before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if

the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.

Control Horn Settings

The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.

After ﬂ ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.

Centering Controls After First Flights For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the aircraft re-

quires excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks of trim per channel), return the transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the ﬂ ight trimmed position.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

CAUTION: When these are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Dual Rates

To obtain the best ﬂ ight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of adjustable Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust according to the individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over

100%, it will not result in more control movement, it will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signiﬁ cant noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.

Dual Rate

High Low

Aileron 100% 70% Elevator 100% 70%

Rudder 100% 70%

Tip: For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, ﬂ y the model in low rate.

Flying Tips and Repairs

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in calm conditions. Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind if ﬂ ying outdoors). Set dual rates to low position and gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the aircraft.

Landing

Land into the wind. This is very important for this model. Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the airplane pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on all three wheels.

Avoid power-off landing with ﬁ xed landing gear installed. Propeller drag can reduce airspeed and ﬂ are. For belly landings, power-off before touch down.

Post Flight Checklist

Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which may require replacement.

This aircraft is equipped with Over Current Protection (OCP). This feature protects the ESC from overheating. OCP stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will only activate when the throttle stick is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Repairs

Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA, as other types of glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the end of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.

NOTICE: Always decrease throttle at propeller strike.



1. Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the ESC (Required for safety and battery life).

2. Power OFF the transmitter.

3. Remove the ﬂ ight battery from the aircraft.



4. Recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

5. Store the ﬂ ight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.

6. Make note of the ﬂ ight conditions and ﬂ ight plan results, planning for future ﬂ ights.
