Transmitter and Receiver Binding

To bind or re-bind your helicopter to your chosen transmitter, please follow the directions below.
General Binding Procedure
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter.
2. Refer the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly setup your transmitter.
3. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
4. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position. Move the throttle to the low/off position.
5. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver).
6. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED flashes, indicating it is in bind mode.
7. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.
8. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver turns solid.
9. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum™ DSM2 ® module, you must reverse the
throttle channel and re-bind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.
Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

DXe Binding Procedure
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter.
2. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver).
5. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED flashes, indicating it is in bind mode.
6. Press and hold the Bind Switch while powering on the transmitter.
7. The transmitter will beep and the LED will blink. Release the Bind Switch.
8. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver control unit is solid and the transmitter emits 3 rapid,
high-pitch tones. If the transmitter emits 2 low-pitch tones, the binding procedure was not successful and should
be attempted again.
9. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office. For a list of compatible DSM® transmitters, please

Bearings Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
Wiring Make sure the wiring does not contact moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal
Fasteners screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only

Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage
to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before flying. Verify
Rotors both main rotor blades have the correct and equal tension in the blade grips. When the helicopter is
held up sideways, the main blades should support their own weight. When the helicopter is shaken
lightly, the blades should fall.
Inspect the tail rotor for damage and replace if necessary. Verify the tail motor bolts, tail rotor adapter
Tail bolts and tail motor mount bolts are properly tightened. Inspect the tail boom for any damage and
replace if necessary.
Inspect the main frame and landing gear for damage and replace if necessary. Check the mainshaft
