The Aura 8 advanced ight control system installed in your Cessna 170 is a
giant leap forward in aircra ight control system technology. Compable
with virtually every receiver on the market today via PWM connecons,
the Aura features special conguraon for DSM systems via remote
receiver connecon, and serial data connecon for Futaba S.Bus, Spektrum
SRXL, Graupner HOTT (Sum D of 8), JR XBus (Mode B), and Je UDI12
(standard) systems.
The Aura 8 advanced ight control system in your Cessna 170 has been
pre-tuned for ease of use, eliminang many hours of seng gains. For the
latest Aura features, programs, transmier downloads, and instrucons,
please visit www.exinnovaons.com/aura
The Aura is programmable through any Windows based computer, and
every axis has independent gain adjustment and by each ight mode. All
dual rate, expo, travel, and assignable mode programs are adjusted inside
the Aura through the PC applicaon. Anassignable master gain that is OFF
by default can be enabled by the Aura applicaon. If desired, assign it to
CH 8/AUX 3 on a proporonal dial or slider.
By default, CH5/Gear is used to select the 3 ight modes by 3 posion
transmier switch.

Aura will Auto-Detect modern data-linked receivers. The advantage of using a modern data-linked receiver is the ability to have 4 addional gyro-enabled
outputs to servos (total of 8 outputs), as well as wiring simplicity versus tradional PWM connecon types. To connect a modern data-linked receiver,
follow the steps on this page, then skip ahead to page 14.
For tradional PWM receivers (male to male servo leads for each channel), refer to the connecon diagram on page 13.
Aura will Auto-Detect these modern data-linked receivers:
Spektrum Remote Receivers (2 required for the Cessna)
Spektrum SRXL
Futaba S.Bus
JR XBus, Mode B
Graupner HOTT, Sum D of 8*
Je UDI12* (Standard)
Note: When using S.Bus, Aura reverses the throle direcon. It is
therefore NOT necessary for Futaba S.Bus users to reverse the
throle IF the throle/ESC is le plugged into the Aura.

Connect (2) Spektrum Remote Receivers to Mini Port 'A' and Mini Port 'B' at
the top of the Aura case.
To bind a DSMX Spektrum Remote Receiver connecon, insert a bind plug into
Aura Port S8.
To bind a DSM2 Spektrum Remote Receiver connecon, insert a bind plug into
Aura port S1 AND S8.
Power up the model, and the remote receivers should begin to ash, indicang
they are ready to bind. Bind from here as recommended in your transmier
manufacturer's instrucons.
Once bound (indicated by each remote receiver showing a solid orange LED),
Aura will begin the Auto-Detect process, searching for a valid control signal,
indicated by sweeping LEDs on the Aura. Once found, you will see solid orange
(power and calibrated sensor) and solid green (valid receiver data) LEDs,
indicang the Aura is in its ight-ready state.
Mount your receivers using double sided foam tape, or hook and loop tape.
Consult your receiver manual for proper mounng orientaons.
For JR DMSS, Graupner Ho and Je, consult your radio documentaon and
program the transmier/receiver to output the correct digital data format as
listed above. (Spektrum and Futaba typically always output the digital data
stream.
Bind your transmier and receiver per your manufacturer's instrucons.
Connect the included male to male extension to the receiver's data port (ex:
S.Bus) and connect to servo port 'B' on the face of the Aura. Refer to your radio
manufacturer's instrucons for specic informaon on appropriate serial port
connecons and system sengs.
With the transmier powered, power up the aircra. Aura will search
(sweeping LEDs) and lock onto the signal. You will then see solid orange (power
and calibrated sensor) plus solid green (valid radio source), and have control of
the model.
Mount your receiver using double sided foam tape or hook and loop tape.
Consult your receiver manual for proper mounng and antenna placement.
You can also use a PPM (8ch, Negave, Approximately 22ms Frame) connecon in Port B, but it
will not auto-detect, and will need to be set in the Aura Cong Tool (Windows Applicaon)
