Choose a Flying Field

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is
very important to select a place to fl y that is very open.
Remember, your aircraft can reach signifi cant speeds when fl ying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on fl ying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with fi rst fl ights.

Range Test

WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test with the
propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage
could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
WARNING: While holding the aircraft during the range test, always
keep body parts and loose items away from the motor. Failure to do
so could cause personal injury.
Before each fl ying session, and especially with a new model, you should
perform a range check. If you have the BNF aircraft, refer to your transmitter
manual to perform a range check of your system.
The RTF included DXe transmitter incorporates a range check mode to reduce
the output power of the transmitter. Follow the directions below to enter range
check mode for the DXe transmitter:
1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with the throttle stick and
trim low. Plug in the aircraft battery and keep the aircraft immobile for
5 seconds.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal fl ying position.
3. Toggle the HI/LO Rate switch rapidly 4 times and then press and hold the
bind button. The transmitter LEDs will fl ash and the alarm will sound. The
system is in range check mode. Do not let go of the bind button until you
are fi nished with the range check.
IMPORTANT: You must hold the BIND/Panic button during the entire range
check process. Releasing the button will exit the range check mode.
4. With the radio system powered on and the model restrained on the ground,
stand 28 meters (90 feet) away from the model.
TIP: In some aircraft, when the model is placed on the ground, the antenna(s)
can be within inches of the ground. Close proximity of the antenna(s) to the
ground can reduce the effectiveness of the range check. If you experience
issues during the range check, restrain the model on a non-conductive stand
or table up to 2ft (60cm) above the ground, then range check the system again.
5. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and throttle controls to ensure
they operate smoothly at 28 meters (90 feet).
6. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fl y. Refer to the contact table at the
end of the this manual to contact Horizon Hobby product support. Also, see
the Spektrum website for more information.
7. When the range check is successfully completed, release the bind button to
exit range check mode.
CAUTION: Due to reduced output power of the transmitter,
NEVER attempt to fl y while the transmitter is in range check mode.
Loss of control will occur.
The fl ying site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all
directions.
• Be clear of people and pets.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could entangle
your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
