2. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral,
the throttle and throttle trim are in the low posi­tion and the aircraft is immobile.

3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.

4. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. Ensure
that the aircraft is upright.The ESC will
produce a series of sounds. One long tone, then
2 short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the
ESC.

5. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.

6. Power on the transmitter while holding the
transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to
your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch 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.

9. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach
the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part
loops and clips).

The receiver should retain the binding instructions re­ceived from the transmitter until another binding is done.

Flight Control

For smooth control of your aircraft, always make
small corrections. All directions are described as if
you were sitting in the aircraft.

When the aircraft’s nose is pointing toward you, left
aileron will bank and turn the aircraft left (your right while
holding the transmitter).

• Flying faster or slower: When your aircraft is stable in
the air, push the throttle stick up to make the aircraft
go faster. Pull the throttle stick back to slow down. The
aircraft will climb when the throttle is increased.

• Elevator up and down: Push the elevator stick forward
to make the aircraft go down. Pull the elevator stick
back to go up.

• Banking right and left: Move the aileron stick right to
make the aircraft turn or “bank” to the right. Move the
aileron stick left to bank left.

• Rudder left and right: Push the rudder stick left or
right to steer the aircraft while on the ground. In the air,
aileron is used for turning left or right.

For fi rst fl ights, set the fl ight mode switch to Beginner
Mode (position 0).

IMPORTANT: Even though SAFE technology is a very
helpful tool, the aircraft still needs to be fl own manually.
If incorrect input is given at lower altitudes or at slower
speeds, the aircraft can crash.

Trimming the Aircraft

Manually Adjusting Trim

It is recommend that the SAFE fl ight mode switch is
set to Experienced mode (position 2) before manually
adjusting trim.

Perform manual adjustment of trim before increasing
the throttle above 25% or the control surfaces will move
when the aircraft is moved.

Return any trim setting on the transmitter to neutral
by pushing the trim slider to the middle position, then
adjusting the clevis on that control surface to position it
the same as it was with the trim slider offset.

1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.

2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the
pushrod.

3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the
tube towards the horn to secure the clevis.

Adjusting Trim in fl ight

If your aircraft does not fl y straight and level at half
throttle with the steering stick at center, fl y into the wind
and move the trim sliders.

Choose a Flying Field

In order to have the most success and to protect your
property and aircraft, it is very important to select a place
to fl y that is very open. Consult local laws and ordinances
before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.

The site should:

• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of

clear space in all directions.

• Stay clear of pedestrians.

• Stay free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or any-

thing that could entangle your aircraft or interfere with
your line of sight.

Remember, your aircraft can reach signifi cant speeds
when fl ying and can cover ground quickly. Plan on fl ying
in an area that gives you more space than you think you
need, especially with fi rst fl ights.

Range Test

Before each fl ying session, and especially with a new
model, you should perform a range check. The DX4e
incorporates a range testing system. Placing the trans­mitter in RANGE CHECK mode reduces the output power,
allowing a range check.

1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with
the throttle stick and trim low. Plug in the aircraft bat­tery and keep the aircraft immobile for 5 seconds.

2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal
fl ying position. Push and hold the BIND/Panic

button while toggling the HI/LO Rate switch four
times. The LEDs will fl ash and the alarm will sound.

The system is in range check mode.

IMPORTANT: You must hold the BIND/Panic button during
the entire range check process. Releasing the button will
exit the range check mode.

3. With the system powered on and the model restrained
on the ground*, stand 28 meters (90 feet) away from
the model.

CAUTION: 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.

4. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and
throttle controls to ensure they operate smoothly at
28 meters (90 feet).

5. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fl y. 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.

CAUTION: While holding the aircraft during the Range Test, always keep

body parts and loose items away from the propeller. Failure to do so could cause
personal injury.

Takeoff

Hand Launch

Hand launch in Beginner mode for fi rst fl ights. Get help
to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on
fl ying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the
model in your dominant hand and the transmitter in
your other hand. An optional neck strap (SPMP610, sold
separately) can help you hold the transmitter.

Easy Launching

Launching is easier
in Beginner mode.
Increase the throttle
to 100%. and launch
the aircraft. When the
aircraft is up where you
want to fl y, decrease the
throttle to 50–60%.

In fl ight

In Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your
aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of the eleva-

tor stick.

1. Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind,
until the aircraft gets about 300 feet (91m) above the
ground, then decrease the throttle to half (50%).

2. Make small and gentle stick movements to see how
the aircraft responds.

Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the
hardest things to do when learning to fl y. Practice fl ying in
large circles high off the ground.

If you lose orientation of the aircraft, release both sticks
and the aircraft will return to level fl ight. If in Intermediate
or Experienced Mode, switch to Beginner Mode and then
release both sticks.

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

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

LVC is a mechanism built into your ESC to protect the
battery from over-discharge. When the battery charge
is too low, LVC limits power supplied to the motor. The
aircraft will begin to slow and you will hear the motor
pulse. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft
immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.

Prolong the life of your Battery

• Before storage, charge your battery to about half
capacity. Capacity decreases with use and age.

• During storage, ensure the charge does not fall below
3V per cell.

Landing

Land the aircraft in Beginner mode.

Easy Landing

Landing is easier if you hold the Panic Recovery but­ton. Line up for your landing, decrease the throttle
to 0% and press and hold
the Panic Recovery button.

AMA National Model aircraft Safety Code

Effective January 1, 2014

A. GENERAL

A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained fl ight
in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended
exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model
fl ights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and any ad­ditional rules specifi c to the fl ying site.

1. Model aircraft will not be fl own:
(a) In a careless or reckless manner.
(b) At a location where model aircraft activities are prohibited.

2. Model aircraft pilots will:
(a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft.
(b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when appropri
ate. (AMA Document #540-D.)
(c) Not fl y higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within
three (3) miles of an airport, without notifying the airport operator.
(d) Not interfere with operations and traffi c patterns at any airport, heli
port or seaplane base except where there is a mixed use agreement.
(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of 55 pounds unless in
compliance with the AMA Large Model Aircraft program. (AMA
Document 520-A.)
(f) Ensure the aircraft is identifi ed with the name and address or AMA
number of the owner on the inside or affi xed to the outside of the
model aircraft. (This does not apply to model aircraft fl own indoors).
(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous
boosts except for helicopters operated under the provisions of AMA
Document #555.
(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the infl uence of alcohol or
while using any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s ability to
safely control the model.
(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which ex
plode or burn, or any device which propels a projectile or drops any
object that creates a hazard to persons or property.

Exceptions:

• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and are

securely attached to the model aircraft during fl ight.

• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size may

be used provided they remain attached to the model during fl ight.
Model rockets may be fl own in accordance with the National
Model Rocketry Safety Code but may not be launched from
model aircraft.

• Offi cially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to

use devices and practices as defi ned within the Team AMA
Program Document (AMA Document #718).
(j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with the
AMA turbine regulations. (AMA Document #510-A).

3. Model aircraft will not be fl own in AMA sanctioned events, air shows or

model demonstrations unless:
(a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills have successfully
demonstrated all maneuvers intended or anticipated prior to the
specifi c event.
(b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by an experienced pilot.

4. When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn and

fastened. They must be OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or
comply with comparable standards.

B. RADIO CONTROL

1. All pilots shall avoid fl ying directly over unprotected people, vessels,
vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and property
of others.

2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance wit
manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before the fi rst
fl ight of a new or repaired model aircraft.

3. At all fl ying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which all
fl ying takes place (AMA Document #706.)
(a) Only personnel associated with fl ying the model aircraft are allowed
at or in front of the safety line.
(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be
established.
(c) An area away from the safety line must be maintained for spectators.
(d) Intentional fl ying behind the safety line is prohibited.

4. RC model aircraft must use the radio-control frequencies currently al
lowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only
individuals properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate
equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.

5. RC model aircraft will not operate within three (3) miles of any pre-
existing fl ying site without a frequency-management agreement (AMA
Documents #922 and #923.)

6. With the exception of events fl own under offi cial AMA Competition
Regulations, excluding takeoff and landing, no powered model may be
fl own outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for the pilot
and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the fl ight line.

7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model
aircraft in fl ight while it is still under power, except to divert it from
striking an individual.

8. RC night fl ying requires a lighting system providing the pilot with a clear
view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times. Hand-held
illumination systems are inadequate for night fl ying operations.

9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall:
(a) Maintain control during the entire fl ight, maintaining visual contact
without enhancement other than by corrective lenses prescribed for
the pilot.
(b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-Person View (FPV) only
in accordance with the procedures outlined in AMA Document #550.
(C) Fly using the assistance of autopilot or stabilization system only in
