Maintenance After Flying
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is connecting a transmitter to an aircraft
receiver wirelessly or electronically so the aircraft
receiver recognizes the transmitter GUID (Globally
Unique Identifier) code. Binding is necessary for
proper operation.
Note: The Carbon-Z Yak 54 BNF requires a DSM2 full
range (high power) transmitter. Any JR or Spektrum
DSM2 transmitter can bind to the Spektrum AR600
receiver. Due to the aerobatic nature of the Carbon-Z
Yak 54, we recommend using a transmitter with
adjustable exponential and dual rates. Please visit
www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of
compatible transmitters.
Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with a
Spektrum module,you may need to reverse the
throttle channel.
CAUTION: ALWAYS power on the transmitter
before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft
ESC. ALWAYS disconnect the flight battery from the
aircraft ESC before powering off the transmitter.
Additional Binding Information
Before each flight, power on the transmitter and wait
about 5 seconds before powering on the ESC. The
transmitter scans and secures two radio frequencies
for aircraft control. When the flight battery is
connected too quickly for the transmitter to make
frequency selection, the transmitter and receiver may
not connect. When there is no connection, leave the
transmitter powered on, disconnect the flight battery
then reconnect the flight battery to the receiver.
