This product requires an approved Spektrum™DSM2®/DSMX®compatible
transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.
The aircraft has an optional panic feature, which can be switched ON or OFF
easily by binding in a specific manner as described below.
IMPORTANT: Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section of
this manual to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for
this aircraft.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF Panic Recovery Feature
Bind Plug Installation
BIND PLUG
Binding Procedure / Switching OFF Panic Recovery
IMPORTANT: The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for opera-
tion specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct
setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another 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.
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators
and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim). *
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, connect the flight battery to the
ESC, then turn ON the switch. The ESC will produce a series of sounds.
One long tone, then 3 short tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly
for the ESC.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly. DO NOT
remove the bind plug at this time.
5. Take 3 steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the
transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to
your transmitter’s manual for specific binding instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not to point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the
receiver while binding.
IMPORTANT: Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
6. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on
the receiver stays orange. The ESC will also 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.
7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind and last Panic
setting until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled
ON and OFF. However, if you notice that bind has been lost, simply repeat the
binding processs.
Panic OFF Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
once to indicate that Panic feature has been switched OFF.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is
not put at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the bind-
ing instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other
instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Panic ON Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that Panic feature is
switched ON.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is
not put at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the bind-
ing instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other
instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
*Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low
throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move to actively level the aircraft in flight.

Transmitter Setup
If you intend on using the Panic Recovery feature, it is important to follow this
transmitter setup chart to assign your transmitter switches correctly to operate
the Panic Recovery feature.
Use the provided charts to guide you through transmitter setup. Locate your
specific transmitter in the chart and follow the numbered setup sequence. The
ending results will be as follows:
Panic Recovery : Flap Switch (DX6i)
Trainer/Bind button (DX7S, DX8, DXe)
Bind button (DX6, DX8G2, DX9, DX18, DX20)
R-Tip (DX10t)
If you don’t intend to use Panic recovery, you do not need to follow this
transmitter setup.
DXe Transmitter
Your aircraft is also compatible with Spektrum DXe transmitter. However, it is
recommended to download the latest AirWare™software from SpektrumRC.
com before downloading the model setup for this aircraft. The USB program-
ming cable (SPMA3065) (sold separately) must be used for AirWare™ software
updates.
Model Setup
We recommend downloading the Sukhoi SU-29MM DXe model setup available
at www.spektrumrc.com. Use your PC and USB programming cable SPMA3065
(sold separately).
Dual Rates and Expo
Set Dual Rates and Expo per the chart for initial flights. After first flight you may
adjust these in your transmitter to suit your flying style.
Factory Gain Settings
The following chart is a list of the default factory gain settings that are pro-
grammed into your AR636 receiver for this aircraft.
To adjust these gain settings, or program them into a new AR636 receiver, use
your PC and USB programming cable SPMA3065 (sold separately), or mobile
app with audio interface programming cable SPMA3081 (sold separately).
Computerized Transmitter Setup
