Each of the modes has been tuned by our team to oer a solid start.
Because tastes in control feel are unique, if changes in rates and
expo are needed, adjustments should be made through the Aura 8.
Changes in gain value can only be made via Master Gain, or through
the Aura Cong Tool (Windows Applicaon).

CONNECTING BATTERY/ARMING ESC
Observe the following procedures to safely power up your model aer
it has been bound. Ensure propeller is removed unless sequence is
followed to power up before ight.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Lower the throle sck and trim to their lowest seng and turn
on the transmier. Wait for your transmier to indicate the RF
signal is being broadcast before proceeding.
If a baery is connected to the ESC with the throle fully open
on the acve transmier, the ESC will enter into programming
mode. If this occurs, simply disconnect the baery, lower the
throle, and reconnect the baery.
Ensure the rudder, elevator and aileron scks are centered.
With the airplane on a solid surface, connect the baery to the
ESC and wait. The ESC will emit a series of audible tones during its
inializaon process.
The ESC will emit a short, nal tone sequence indicang that the
ESC is now armed, and that the motor will spin in response to
throle sck movement.
When making adjustments to linkages, transmier sengs, or the
Aura 8 ight control system, REMOVE THE PROPELLER to guard
against accidental spool up.
WARNING
Hold aircra securely when connecng the ight baery before
ight. Always ensure that the propeller is clear of any and all
objects, as they may become entangled.
CAUTION
Always connect the baery when the throle and
throle trim are in the cut-o posion.

Note: These are for reference only. DO NOT put these values into your transmier.
WARNING
For large (greater than 5%) changes in expo, or dual rates, it is highly
recommended to reset all expos and rates to default in the transmier,
and tune through the Aura Cong Tool.
The Aura Cong Tool can be used on any Windows-based PC or Tablet,
