General Binding Tips and Failsafe

• The included receiver has been speciﬁcally programmed

for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual

for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.

• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.

• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.

• The orange LED on the receiver will ﬂash rapidly

when the receiver enters bind mode.

• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings

for that transmitter until you re-bind.

• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.

Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll

channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.

• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed,

contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support ofﬁce.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling SAFE Select

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of ﬂight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and

automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.

With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch

to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.

IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly

programmed for this aircraft.

IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter ﬂight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trims to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and

during binding.

You can use either the bind button on the receiver or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding process.

A bind plug extension has been provided in BNF Basic version models. It will be labeled and located in the battery or radio compartment for easy access.
