not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.
This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to possible interference from a variety of
sources outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is advisable to
always keep a safe distance from objects and people in all direcons around your model as this will help
to avoid collisions and/or injury.
• Never operate your model if the voltage of the baeries in the
transmier is too low.
• Always operate your model in an open area away from obstacles,
people, vehicles, buildings, etc.
• Carefully follow the direcons and warnings for this and any op-
onal support equipment (chargers, rechargeable baeries, etc.).
• Keep all chemicals, small parts and all electronic components out
of the reach of children.
• Moisture causes damage to electronic components. Avoid water
exposure to all electronic components, parts, etc. not specically de-
signed and protected for use in water.
• Never lick or place any poron of the model in your mouth as it
could cause serious injury or even death.
The Ares Advantage Exera 130 CX is the most advanced and easiest to y 4-channel CX heli ever! Like
other CX helis on the market it features an ultra-stable coaxial, counter-rotang blade design that helps
make ying easy. However, what sets the Exera 130 CX apart is that it includes innovave Aegis Altude
Assist Technology (AAT).
Designed and developed exclusively by Aegis engineers, AAT automacally assists in maintaining
altude above the ground and avoiding collisions with the ceiling through the use of state-of-the-

Flight Checklist
PLEASE NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instrucon man-
ual. Although it can be used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest reading through this manual
completely before proceeding.
• Always turn the transmitter ON first
• Connect the LiPo flight battery to the control unit
• Allow the control unit to initialize and arm properly (on a flat/level surface)
• Fly the model (take-off from a flat/level surface)
• Land the model (land on a flat/level surface)
• Disconnect the LiPo flight battery from the control unit
• Always turn the transmitter OFF last
LiPo Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer baeries are signicantly more volale than the alkaline, NiCd
or NiMH baeries also used in RC applicaons. All instrucons and warnings must be followed exact-
ly to prevent property damage and/or personal injury as mishandling of LiPo baeries can result in
re.
By handling, charging or using the included LiPo baery you assume all risks associated with LiPo bat-
teries. If you do not agree with these condions please return the complete product in new, unused
condion to the place of purchase immediately.
You must charge the LiPo baery in a safe area away from ammable materials. It
is strongly suggested that when charging the baery you place it on a non-amma-
ble surface, such as a ceramic dish or ceramic le.
Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging the baery
you should always remain in constant observaon to monitor the charging process
and react immediately to any potenal problems that may occur.
Aer ying/discharging the baery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room
temperature before recharging.
To charge the LiPo baery use the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 1.0-Amp AC Char-
ger (AZSZ2004) or a suitably compable LiPo baery charger. Failure to do so may
result in a re causing property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCd
or NiMH charger.
If at any me during the charge or discharge process the baery begins to balloon
or swell, disconnue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely dis-
connect the baery, then place it in a safe, open area away from ammable mate-
rials to observe for at least 15 minutes. Connuing to charge or discharge a baery
that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a re. A baery that has ballooned
or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.

6
Store the baery at room temperature, approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit (F), and in a
dry area for best results.
When transporng or temporarily storing the baery, the temperature range should
be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the baery or model in a hot garage, car
or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the baery can be
damaged or even catch re.
Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery. Discharging the LiPo baery too low can cause
damage to the baery resulng in reduced power, ight duraon or failure of the baery
enrely. The 1S LiPo used to power the Exera 130 CX should not fall below 3V.
The 4-in-1 control unit includes a low voltage cuto (LVC). As the low voltage level is
reached the Red LED on the tail of the 130 CX changes from blinking with a slow single
blink to a slow double blink. This combined with the reduced available power is the in-
dicaon that a baery recharge is required. Connued discharging can cause permanent
damage to the LiPo baery resulng in reduced power output and/or shortened ight
duraons during subsequent ights (or failure of the baery enrely).
Charging the LiPo Flight Battery
You must charge the included 700mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 25C LiPo Baery (AZSB7001S25J) using only the
included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 1.0A 100-240V AC Charger (AZSZ2004) or a suitably compable LiPo bat-
tery charger. Charging the LiPo baery using a non-LiPo baery compable charger (such as a NiCd or
NiMH baery charger), or even a dierent LiPo baery charger with the incorrect sengs, may result
in damage to the baery or even re resulng in property damage and/or personal injury
When the included 120-240V AC charger is plugged into a wall socket the GREEN LED is
displayed.
Plug the 1-Cell 3.7V baery’s JST connector into the JST plug on the charger making sure that
the correct polarity is maintained. There is a small tab on the plug to assist. The LED on the
charger turns RED.
The charger is automac and when charging is complete the LED returns to solid GREEN.
Installing the Transmitter Batteries
Install the four (4) included AA baeries in the back of the transmier by rst removing the baery
compartment cover/door. Ensure proper polarity of the baeries before installing them (as noted by
the markings molded into the baery compartment), then re-install the compartment cover/door.
NOTE: If at any me the voltage indicated on the LCD screen falls below 1/2, it will be necessary to
replace the AA baeries with new ones.

Transmitter Details
Antenna Posion/Orientaon
The RF output signals transmit best/strongest from the sha of the antenna rather than from the p. As
a result you should never point the p of the antenna directly at the model. Also, the transmier anten-
na can be rotated up to 180° and folded up to 90° so be sure to hold the transmier and posion the
antenna as needed to ensure the best possible signal transmission.
Control/Servo Reversing
The servos are set for correct operaon from the factory. Servo reversing is available on each of the 4
channels, Throle, Rudder, Elevator, Aileron. To reverse any channel press and hold both of that chan-
nels trim buons simultaneously. In approximately 2 seconds the channel will reverse and a beep tone
will be heard. The graphic symbol on the LCD panel for that channel will indicate the change. Repeat
the process to change again. Once a channel is reversed the informaon will be retained aer the
transmier is turned o. It is unlikely that channel reversing will be necessary when using this transmit-
ter with the Exera 130 CX.
Dual Rates
High and Low control throw rates are selectable using
the throle sck. By pressing the end of the throle
sck toward its base a slight click will be felt and the
rate will toggle between High and Low. The rate select-
ed is indicated on the LCD screen in the upper right
near the baery strength indicator. Low rates are rec-
ommended when geng used to the helicopter. High
rates give more control movement and is suitable for
the more experienced pilot.

Flight Controls and Trimming
In the event you are not familiar with the controls of the Exera 130 CX please take the me to familiar-
ize yourself.
Throle trim buons. It is not necessary to change
the throle trims from their factory sengs.
Used to keep the nose of the helicopter
from turning to the le or right when hov-
ering. For example, if the nose of the he-
licopter turns to the right when hovering
press the le trim buon several mes unl
the nose of the helicopter stays as close to
“straight” as possible with no further rudder
control/trim input.)
Increases and decreases power to the motors
causing the helicopter to ascend or descend.
Causes the nose of the helicopter to
rotate le or right.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for the nose of most CX (coaxial) helicopters to dri slightly in one
direcon or the other throughout a ight (as the motors heat up and the baery discharges/voltage
drops). This means you may nd it necessary to adjust the rudder trim slightly throughout a ight but
typically no more than a few buon presses are necessary.

9
With the nose of the helicopter facing away
from you, pushing the sck forward will
cause the helicopter to move forward. Pull-
ing the sck backward will cause the heli-
copter to move backward
Used to help keep the helicopter from dri-
ing forward or backward when hovering. For
example, if the helicopter dris forward, press
the rear trim buon several mes unl the
helicopter stops moving forward
With the nose of the helicopter facing away
from you, moving the sck to the le will
move the helicopter le. Moving the sck
to the right will move the helicopter to the
right.
Used to help keep the helicopter from dri-
ing le or right when hovering. For example,
if the helicopter dris le, press the right
trim buon several mes unl the helicop-
ter stops moving le
Installing and Removing the LiPo Flight Battery
Aer the LiPo baery has been fully charged it’s ready to be installed in the helicopter. Open the bat-
tery hatch on the boom of the body by moving the black hatch latch towards the nose and pulling
down. Install the baery by sliding it carefully into the baery holder with the wires facing the rear.
Make sure to secure the baery plug and wires under the clip on the baery door, this keeps the wires
from contacng any of the moving parts inside the helicopter body.
To remove the LiPo ight baery (aer unplugging it) pull on the sides of the baery (NOT on the wire
leads!) while carefully holding the body out of the way to remove it from the mount/helicopter com-
pletely.

10
The Exera 130 CX is equipped with a compact and advanced 4-in-1 control unit. The control unit is a
lightweight combinaon of two electronic speed controls (ESCs), a mixer and gyro.
This checklist includes the steps you must follow to ensure proper inializaon, arming and operaon
of the control unit:
• Before each ight you must ALWAYS turn the transmier on BEFORE connecng the
LiPo ight baery to the control unit. Never connect the baery to the control unit
before powering the transmier on rst. Aer each ight you should always discon-
nect the baery from the control unit before turning the transmier o.
• The le-hand/throle sck must be set in the lowest posion in order for the con-
trol unit to arm properly. Failure to lower the sck can prevent the ESCs from arming
and/or the gyro from inializing properly. In some cases it may be necessary to also
lower the throle trim.
• Aer installing the baery in the helicopter you must be careful to ensure proper
polarity when plugging it into the 4-in-1 control unit.
Also, although the ‘JST’ connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connecon, if
you force them it is possible to make connecon with incorrect/reversed polarity potenally causing
damage to the control unit and/or baery. When the connectors are properly aligned for correct
polarity, connecng them should require only a minimal amount of pressure to achieve the light ‘click’
that indicates secure connecon.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AFTER THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL UNIT IT’S
IMPORTANT TO PLACE THE HELICOPTER ON LEVEL GROUND AND NOT MOVE OR ROTATE
THE HELICOPTER FOR 6 SECONDS TO ALLOW THE GYRO’S TO CALIBRATE AND ARM THE
MOTORS. If you do move/rotate the helicopter during this me it may aect inializa-
on/calibraon of the gyro which could require signicant rudder trim adjustments
and/or prevent the gyro from working during the ight. If this happens you must
disconnect the baery from the control unit and repeat the inializaon/calibraon
process.
Aer the helicopter has armed the motors use cauon as the rotor blades will now spin
with throle sck input! Do not advance/raise the throle sck unl you are clear of the
rotor blades and ready to y.
CAUTION:

Altitude Assist Technology (AAT)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the AAT module is ready to use right out of the box, please take the
me to read through this secon of the manual completely for informaon on funcon and perfor-
mance, before proceeding with your rst ight. Please also visit our web site at www.ares-rc.com to
watch video of the Exera 130 CX and AAT in acon.
The Exera 130 CX is equipped with innovave Altude Assist Technology (AAT). Designed and developed
exclusively by Ares engineers, AAT allows new pilots to build their skills using 3 dierent ight modes
that make the Exera 130 CX perhaps the easiest way to learn to y an RC heli ever!
Note: Ultrasound ranging is dramacally aected by the surface that is being detected. For example, a
hard surface will reect ultrasonic pulses more eecvely and result in improved detecon and rang-
ing. For best performance in Mode 1, ying over a led, linoleum, or concrete surface is recommended,
whereas ying over a carpeted surface will result in less than ideal performance.
The three modes enabled by AAT technology
include Hover Hold in Mode 1, Ceiling Avoid-
ance in Mode 2, and Direct Throle Control
in Mode 3. Using two ultrasound sensors, one
facing downward and one facing upward, the
helicopter is able to measure the distance to
the oor and ceiling, and automacally adjust
the throle depending on the mode selected.
The Exera 130 CX comes out of the box set to
Mode 1 (Hover Hold). Mode 2 and 3 can be
selected using the three-posion switch on
the tail of the helicopter.
Red LED Status Indicator
The red LED blinks rapidly when the baery is plugged in and connues during inializaon. When ini-
alized the rate changes to a slow steady blink, indicang correct inializaon and AAT funcon. If the
LED is a solid red, the control unit has inialized correctly, but the AAT module has not been detected.
An intermient short-short-pause indicates inializaon error. If this occurs, unplug the baery and re-
plug to aempt again.
AAT Functions and Performance

12
In Mode 1, the upward and downward sensors are acve to enable altude control while
avoiding ceilings and other obstacles above the helicopter.
In Mode 1, the pilot is only required to make
very basic inputs on the throle sck. With the
helicopter resng on a at, hard surface, the pilot
can move the throle sck from zero to full to
iniate take-o. The blades will then smoothly ac-
celerate, the auto-takeo feature will iniate, and
the Exera 130 CX will slowly rise to a controlled
hover between 2 and 3 feet o the ground. The
pilot is in control of all other helicopter move-
ments while the ATT Module holds the altude.
The helicopter will maintain this height unl the
pilot is ready to land. To iniate the auto-land
feature, the pilot should bring the throle sck
down to between 33% and 50%. At this point, the
helicopter will slowly descend and land smooth-
ly. Once on the ground, the throle sck should
then be moved all the way down so that the Exe-
ra 130 CX is ready for its next takeo.
If for some reason the helicopter is ying uncon-
trollably, the throle sck should be moved all
the way down so that the throle is decreased
immediately.
Flying in Mode 1
Calibration

13
In Mode 2 only the upward sensor is acve, enabling Ceiling Avoidance, which automacally re-
duces throle so that the Exera 130 CX avoids running into the ceiling
In Mode 2, the pilot has more control over throle and the AAT module performs two funcons.
First, it constantly calculates the range to the ceiling and reduces throle as necessary to avoid
possible collisions. The AAT module also monitors baery voltage and intelligently limits throle to
avoid accelerang too quickly. This funcon addresses a common mistake by rst-me pilots, where
accelerang too quickly on take-o can cause collisions.
When ying in Mode 2 beneath a ceiling composed of hard, acouscally reecve material, the
Exera 130 CX will begin to reduce throle as it moves within roughly 4 feet of the ceiling. If the
ceiling is “soer” and reects ultrasonic pulses less eecvely, this detecon range may be reduced.
CAUTION:
Please note that because the AAT Module transmits and receives ultrasound pulses through the
spinning blades, you may nd a “blind spot” where the helicopter is not able to detect objects
that are too close. The size of this blind spot varies based on ceiling material, but typically it is
8-12 inches in distance. If the helicopter does y into this space, it may no longer be able to detect
the ceiling. If that occurs, throle compensaon will stop working and the helicopter will connue
to rise if the throle is not lowered quickly.

In Mode 3, the ultrasonic sensors are not acve and the pilot has full control of throle.
Recommended Flying Progression
Calibration
Flying in Mode 3
Calibration
First me and low me pilots should use the default seng of Mode 1. This allows the pilot to learn
the basic controls of moving the helicopter forwards/backwards, le/right, and rotang le/right with-
out needing to control the altude.
As skill improves, the pilot will want to control the altude. At this me, it is recommended to move
the mode control switch to Mode 2, which allows the pilot to control the altude with the throle sck
while sll oering unprecedented Ceiling Avoidance technology.
Once the pilot is comfortable ying in Mode 2, they can move the mode control switch to Mode 3.
In Mode 3 the AAT module is turned o, and all throle input comes directly from the pilot. The pilot
must use the throle to control the altude and avoid obstacles overhead.
Each Exera 130 CX helicopter is factory calibrated to ensure excellent performance in Modes 1 and 2.
However, due to variaons in ying environment (altude, temperature, and humidity) and the age of
baeries and motors, the helicopter may require recalibraon if the helicopter does not rise o the
ground or it rises beyond 3-4 feet in Mode 1.
Calibraon should be performed in a closed space with lile or no air movement. Fans and air condi-
oning units should be turned o, and windows should be shut. To enter calibraon mode, the pilot
should set the tail-switch in Mode 1, power on the transmier and then plug in the baery as usual.
Once the helicopter inializes, raise the throle sck to half and then quickly bring it down to zero
again. Then, quickly toggle the tail switch back and forth from posion 1 to posion 3 ve mes ending
up in posion 1. Upon successfully entering calibraon mode, the user will hear two quiet, high fre-
quency “chirping” sounds, which will indicate that the helicopter is in calibraon mode.

15
Note: Once in calibraon mode the helicopter will y as if it is in Mode 3 with no AAT Funcon, even
though the tail switch indicates Mode 1. This is normal and indicates that you have successfully en-
tered the calibraon mode.
To perform calibraon, hover the helicopter in place for 4 minutes. It is important to hover the helicop-
ter as smoothly as possible, maintaining a steady height with minimal control input. Aer 4 minutes,
land the helicopter and immediately unplug the baery. The Exera 130 CX will now be recalibrated to
account for aged motors and baery as well as the pilot’s ying environment. To avoid incorrect
calibraon, inexperienced pilots may wish to ask a more experienced pilot to help them.
The eecveness of ultrasonic ranging is heavily dependent on the surface that is being measured.
Hard, reecve surfaces reect ultrasonic pulses well and therefore result in increased sensing dis-
tance. On the other hand, soer, more acouscally absorbent materials signicantly reduce sensing
distance. In parcular, performance in Mode 1 over carpet, furniture, or other so materials will result
in degraded performance.
Devices using ultrasonic ranging can interfere with one another if operated in close proximity. There-
fore, it is important that mulple Exera 130 CX helicopters in modes 1 and 2 not be own within 30 feet
of each other.
Ultrasonic sensors (transceivers) generate sound waves around 40kHz. These sound waves can disturb
some animals, including dogs. We recommend that you avoid ying the Exera 130 CX around dogs as
doing so may cause them to behave erracally.
Selecting a Flying Area
Calibration
The Exera 130 CX is a micro class helicopter designed for indoor ying spaces, such as a living room, ga-
rage, or gymnasium. You’ll want to select an open area free of people and obstrucons. We suggest an
area with at least 12-feet by 12-feet of oor space and no less than 8-foot ceilings when making your
rst few ights.
Aer you’ve properly trimmed the helicopter and become familiar with its handling and capabilies
you may be able to y in other smaller and less open areas, but it’s always more fun to y indoors in
spaces that are larger and more open when possible.

Flying Tips
Calibration
Now that you’ve selected a suitable ying area you’re ready to y! And when making your rst ights
we suggest following these steps:
• Slowly raise the throle sck to increase the speed of the main rotor blades unl
the model begins to li o. Do NOT raise the sck too quickly as the model could
climb too fast.
• When trying to move the helicopter around, make small inputs on the control
scks and don’t hold an input for too long. A common mistake is when too much
control input is given.
• You’ll nd that it somemes takes minor throle adjustments to maintain altude
in a hover. Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large ad-
justments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash.
• While aempng to establish a low-level hover out of ground eect (approxi-
mately 20–24 inches high or higher) you can check to see if any trim adjustments are
required to help keep the helicopter from constantly driing in various direcons. If
you nd that the helicopter constantly dris without any direconal control input it
may be best to land the model before making any adjustments to the trim sengs
using the trim levers on the transmier (you can nd more informaon regarding the
locaon and funcon of the trim levers in the ‘Flight Controls and Trimming’ secon
of this manual).
• Connue to pracce unl you’re comfortable hovering the helicopter and con-
trolling it in Mode 1. Then you can transion to Mode 2 for more altude control.
• If at any me during ight you feel like the helicopter is driing out of/beyond
your control, simply release all of the controls except for throle. The throle will
be needed to maintain altude, but due to the inherent stability of the coaxial,
counter-rotang blade design, releasing all of the other controls will allow the heli-
copter to return to a stable hover on its own.
Note: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
• Once you’ve gained the experience and condence in hovering your helicopter you
can aempt more advanced maneuvers including:
Forward Flight
Backward Flight
Pirouees
Skidding Takeos
Skidding Landings
Spot Landings
