Battery Selection
• We recommend the E-fl ite ® 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po (EFLB22003S30).
• If using another battery, the battery must be at least a
2200mAh 25C battery.
• Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimensions and
weight as the E-fl ite Li-Po battery to fi t in the fuselage without changing the
center of gravity a large amount.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Push the button (A) into the fuselage and remove the battery hatch.
3. Install the fully charged battery (B) all the way to the front of the battery
compartment. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more
information.
4. Make sure the fl ight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap (C).
5. Connect the battery to the ESC.
6. Power on the ESC Switch (D). Keep the aircraft immobile and away from
wind for 5 seconds or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 5 of the binding
instructions for more information).
• An LED will light on the receiver.
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the fl ight battery is con-
nected, recharge or replace the battery.
7. After the SAFE ™ system initializes, the control surfaces will move back and
forth, then come to neutral to indicate the SAFE system has initialized and
is ready to operate.
8. Reinstall the battery hatch. Push the rear of the battery hatch securely to
ensure the latch is fully engaged.

IMPORTANT: The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation
in only this aircraft.

CAUTION: When using a Futaba ® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM ®
module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your
Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your
Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When
activated, the airplane controls return to the neutral position established during
step 3 of the binding procedure.
9 Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Refer to your transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Ensure the transmitter is powered off.
3. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral, the throttle is in
the low position and the aircraft is immobile. *
4. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
5. Connect the fl ight battery in the aircraft, then power on the ESC
switch. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. One long tone,
then three short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the ESC.
6. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
7. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button
or switch.
8. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver
will turn solid and the ESC will produce a series of three ascending
tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the throttle
stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
9. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
10. Safely store the bind plug.
11. The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from
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, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
