Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally
Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

DSM2

DSMX

technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any JR

or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X DSM

receiver. For best ﬂ ight

performance of the UMX

™

MiG 15 DF, it is recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential and dual

rates. Please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

NOTICE: When using a Futaba

transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel

is required.

Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or

switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the

transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

For subsequent ﬂ ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop

strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting
the Center of Gravity instructions for the
battery’s position.

2. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind

and connect a fully charged flight battery.
Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5
seconds so the AS3X system can initialize
correctly. See the Arming the ESC instructions
for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

NOTICE: Always ensure that the battery is secured
in the aircraft using hook and loop tape.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying to
avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest
approved voltage may become damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when
batteries are charged.
