Binding Procedure Reference Table

1.

Read transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2.

Make sure transmitter is powered off.

3.

Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.

4.

Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED will begin to flash rapidly.

5.

Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low positions
(throttle, throttle trim, and flight control trims).*

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 light on the receiver will be solid and the ESC will produce a series of sounds.
The series of sounds is a long tone, then 3 short tones that confirm the LVC is set for the ESC.

8.

Remove the bind plug from the receiver in the battery compartment.

9.

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

10.

The receiver should keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the ap-
propriate Horizon Product Support office.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You
need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2 technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Note: Any JR

®

or Spektrum full range DSM2™ transmitter can bind to the Spektrum AR600 re-

ceiver. Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM2 module, you must reverse the throttle channel.


Note: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver of the aircraft when not flying. Failure to do so will render the battery unusable.

Before Flight

CAuTIon: When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
When the aircraft does not respond, binding or rebinding may be required.

Installing a Receiver

Battery Selection and Installation

1. Install your park flyer or full range receiver in the fuselage using hook and

loop tape or double-sided servo tape.

2. Attach the elevator and rudder servo connectors to the appropriate channels

of the receiver.

3. Attach the aileron Y-harness to the aileron channel of the receiver.
4. Attach the ESC connector to the throttle channel of the receiver.

1. We recommend the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 25C Li-Po battery (PKZ1029).
2. If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 25C 2200mAh battery.

3. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimensions and

weight as the ParkZone Li-Po battery to fit in the fuselage without changing
the center of gravity a large amount.
