IMPORTANT: When nished ying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not
store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage
the foam.
LiPo battery tips:
• 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 for long term storage.
• During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
• Always read and follow all safety warnings and guidelines included with
your LiPo batteries.
Post Flight
Disconnect the ight battery from the ESC.
Power OFF the transmitter.
Remove the ight battery from the aircraft.
Recharge the ight battery.
Repair or replace all damaged parts.
Store the ight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
Make note of the ight conditions and ight plan results, planning for future
ights.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the aircraft receiver with the
identication code of the transmitter so the receiver will only connect to that
specic transmitter.
The included transmitter was bound to the aircraft at the factory. If the aircraft
does not respond to transmitter control inputs when the batteries in the aircraft
and transmitter are fully charged, the aircraft receiver and transmitter may
need to be re-bound.
To re-bind the transmitter and receiver:
1. Power OFF the transmitter
2. Set the throttle stick to the low position and all other controls to neutral.*
Ensure the aircraft is immobile.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is
not put at the lowest position.
3. Connect the ight battery to the ESC. The receiver will cycle between DSMX
and SLT approximately every 20 seconds. The receiver LED is visible with
the wing removed.
The LED will ash rapidly for DSMX, and slowly for SLT.
4. Press and hold the bind button (button A) on the transmitter while powering
ON the transmitter. The receiver LED will glow solid when the receiver
and transmitter are bound. The aircraft will initialize and the controls will
function normally.
Once properly bound, the receiver and transmitter will retain their bind for
future ights.
If you encounter problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide. If necessary,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby product support ofce.
* Failsafe
The receiver stores the position of the transmitter throttle control at the
time of binding as the failsafe position. If the receiver should ever lose
communication with the transmitter, the failsafe function will activate.
Failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle)
that was stored during binding. All other control channels move to put the
aircraft in a slowly descending circle until radio link is re-established.
