Prefl ight Checklist
1. Charge fl ight battery.
2. Install fl ight battery in aircraft (once it
has been fully charged).
3. Bind aircraft to transmitter. (BNF only)
4. Make sure linkages move freely.
5. Perform Control Direction Test with
transmitter.
Charging Warnings
The Battery Charger (EFLC1000) included with your
aircraft has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po
battery.
CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must
be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries
can result in a fi re, personal injury and/or property
damage.
• By handling, charging or using the included
Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated
with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or
swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging
or discharging, discontinue and disconnect.
Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery
that is ballooning or swelling can result in fi re.
• Always store the battery at room temperature
in a dry area for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the
battery in a temperature range of 40–120º F
(5–49° C). Do not store the battery or model in a
car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the
battery can be damaged or even catch fi re.
• Always charge batteries away from fl ammable
materials.
• Always inspect the battery before charging.
6. Set dual rates and expos.
7. Adjust center of gravity.
8. Perform a radio system Range Check.
9. Find a safe and open area.
10. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging,
and let the charger cool between charges.
• Always constantly monitor the temperature
of the battery pack while charging.
• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge
the battery with a compatible charger may cause
a fi re resulting in personal injury and/or property
damage.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V
under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and
loop strips.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Never charge batteries outside
recommended levels.
• Never charge damaged batteries.

Battery Charging
U
Your aircraft comes with a 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po
battery charger and 1S 3.7V 70mAh 14C Li-Po
battery. Refer to the charging warnings. It is
recommended to charge the battery pack while
you are inspecting the aircraft. The fl ight
battery will be required to confi rm proper
aircraft operation in future steps.
Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger
and install four of the included AA batteries, noting
proper polarity. Replace the cover after the AA
batteries are installed. Only use alkaline AA
batteries.
Battery Charging Process
NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the
touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to
make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent,
broken or punctured.
1. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger
and press it into the charge jack/connector
located at the bottom of the slot.
The end cap of the battery is specifically
designed to allow the battery to fit into the
slot one way (usually with the label on the
battery facing outward) to prevent reverse
polarity connection. However, check for proper
alignment and polarity.
EN
Purchase the optional AC to 6V DC 1.5 amp
Power Supply (EFLC1005) to charge your
battery pack without AA batteries.
2. Always disconnect the flight battery from the
charger immediately upon completion of
charging.
CAUTION: Only use a charger specifi cally
designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so
could result in fi re, causing injury or property
damage.
CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended
charge rate.
LED Indications
When you make the connection successfully, the
LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating
charging has begun.
Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
70mAh battery takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
As the battery nears full charge, the LED begins to
blink. The intervals between blinks will increase as
the battery comes closer to full charge.
When the LED blinks approximately every 20
seconds, the battery is ready to be removed.
However, the battery can be left charging until the
LED completely goes out for a maximum charge.
CAUTION: Only use an E-fl ite® 6V power
supply (EFLC1005) with this charger. DO NOT
use a 12V power supply or property damage
and injury could occur.
CHARGING (Solid Red) ...........................
READY (Blinking 20 sec. intervals) ........
MAX CHARGE (off) .................................
If the LED stays on when the fl ight battery is
removed, the AA batteries in the charger are low.
CAUTION: Once charging is complete,
immediately remove the battery. Never leave a
battery connected to the charger.

Transmitter Batteries Installation
Your E-fl ite® 4-channel DSM2®/
DSMX® RTF transmitter comes

of the included batteries (noting
proper polarity) and reinstall the
cover.

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™ DSM® technology equipped
aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, please visit www.bindnfl y.com.
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.
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
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. The receiver LED will begin to
fl ash (typically after 5 seconds).
5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle is in
the low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode.
(If you are using the transmitter that is supplied with the RTF version,
push the left control stick vertically into the case (until it clicks) while
powering ON the transmitter).
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid,
indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does
not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of the
manual.

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