Transmitter and Receiver Binding

For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, please visit www.bindnfl y.com

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. Ensure the transmitter is powered OFF.

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

5. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle and throttle trims are in the low

position to correctly set the failsafe.

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.

For subsequent fl ights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the fl ight battery.

ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity

NOTICE: Always keep material or debris away

from the intake. When armed, the rotor will turn in
response to throttle movement and could ingest in
any loose objects.

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

3. Power on your transmitter, then
wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper
polarity. Keep the plane upright, immobile

and away from wind for 5 seconds to allow
the SAFE™ system to initialize. The aircraft

will not initialize until the aircraft is still and
upright.

A successful connection is indicated by:
– A series of tones
– A continuous LED

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 Centering

Before the fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an
accident, make sure control surfaces are
centered when the transmitter controls and
trims are neutral. The transmitter sub-trim must
be set to zero. 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.

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

Control Direction Tests

EN

IMPORTANT: Only trim this aircraft in Experienced
Flight Mode.

You should bind your aircraft and
transmitter before doing these tests.

Perform the Control Direction Test in
Experienced Mode.

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.

Control Direction Test

This test ensures that the SAFE™ control
system is functioning properly.

Assemble the aircraft and bind your
transmitter to the receiver before
performing this test.

1. Advance the throttle above 25% to

activate the SAFE

2. Fully lower the throttle.

3. Move the entire aircraft as shown and

ensure the control surfaces move in

Dual Rates and Expos

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

If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we
recommend activating Expo for smoother control.
For activation and deactivation of Expo in the DX4e
and DX5e, see the next section.

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.

DX4e and DX5e Expo Activation and Deactivation

If you plan to fl y your aircraft with a DX4e or DX5e, disconnect the battery from the aircraft before activating
the Expo feature in your transmitter.

Once Expo is activated, it will remain activated for subsequent power cycles of the transmitter. Once Expo is
deactivated, it will remain deactivated until it is activated again.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Range Check your Radio System

After fi nal assembly, range check the radio system
with the aircraft. Refer to your specifi c transmitter
instruction manual for range test information.

Flying

We recommend fl ying your aircraft outside in no
greater than moderate winds or inside in a very
large indoor facility. 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.

Wind

Fly in this area

600

feet (182.8 m)

Stand here

Hand Launching

Hold the aircraft under the wings. Give a fi rm throw
directly into the wind slightly up (5–10 degrees
above the horizon) with full throttle. After the model
gains altitude, decrease the throttle as you desire.

Tip: The electric ducted fan (EDF) acts like a jet
aircraft, so control is generated by airspeed rather
than air from a propeller moving over the control
surfaces. It is recommended to use Panic Recovery
while hand launching.

Takeoff

Taxi the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind if fl ying outdoors). Gradually increase the
throttle to full power, holding a small amount of up
elevator and steering with the rudder. Climb gently
to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin
exploring the fl ight envelope of the aircraft.

Landing

Always land into the wind. Fly the landing pattern
with a slightly nose high attitude. Use throttle
management to control the decent rate of the
aircraft.

EN

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 the main wheels or to belly land without
landing gear.

NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle when landing
the aircraft to prevent intake of foreign objects,
which can damage the ducted fan and motor.

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.

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.

Tip: Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may
not hear the pulsing of the motor.

For your fi rst fl ights, set your transmitter timer or a
stopwatch to 3 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer
or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.
Flights of 4 minutes are achievable if using proper
throttle management.

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

Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before
and after flying by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage
Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).

Over Current Protection (OCP)

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

For maintenance and repair information refer to the
product page on www.horizonhobby.com.

Factory Control Horn Settings

The illustration shows linkage positions chosen for
the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage
connections on the control horns directly affect

Landing Gear Removal

If desired, remove the landing gear for belly landing
the aircraft in a soft landing area.

1. Lift the end of the main gear wire above
the stop.

2. Gently pull the main gear away from the
fuselage and away from the clips.

3. Carefully pull the nose gear from the mount.

When needed, assemble in reverse order.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

Tip: The nose gear strut wire can be twisted a
small amount to adjust the ground tracking.
Always remove the nose gear from the aircraft
before performing this adjustment.

Post Flight Checklist



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.

Questions, Assistance, and Services

Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase
cannot provide warranty support or service. Once

Authorization (RMA) number. Pack the Product
securely using a shipping carton. Please note
that original boxes may be included, but are not
designed to withstand the rigors of shipping without
additional protection. Ship via a carrier that provides
tracking and insurance for lost or damaged parcels,

Warranty Requirements
For Warranty consideration, you must include
your original sales receipt verifying the proof-of­purchase date. Provided warranty conditions have

been met, your Product will be serviced or replaced
free of charge. Service or replacement decisions are
at the sole discretion of Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service
Should your service not be covered by warranty,
service will be completed and payment will be
required without notifi cation or estimate of the
expense unless the expense exceeds 50% of the
retail purchase cost. By submitting the item for

service you are agreeing to payment of the service
without notifi cation. Service estimates are available
upon request. You must include this request with
your item submitted for service. Non-warranty
service estimates will be billed a minimum of ½
hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return
freight. Horizon accepts money orders and cashier’s
checks, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, and Discover cards. By submitting any item
to Horizon for service, you are agreeing to Horizon’s
Terms and Conditions found on our website http://
www.horizonhobby.com/content/_service-center_
render-service-center.

ATTENTION: Horizon service is limited to
Product compliant in the country of use and
ownership. If received, a non-compliant Product
will not be serviced. Further, the sender will be
responsible for arranging return shipment of the
un-serviced Product, through a carrier of the
sender’s choice and at the sender’s expense.
Horizon will hold non-compliant Product for a
period of 60 days from notifi cation, after which
it will be discarded.
