Installing the Flight Battery in the Airplane
Once the Li-Po battery is fully charged, you can install it in the airplane. This is done by placing it into the
battery holder on the bottom of the fuselage. Make sure the plug faces the rear of the airplane.
Note: The battery holder can slide forward and backwards to allow for Center of Gravity adjustment.
Note: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver of the airplane when not flying. Failure to
do so will render the battery unusable.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Your Night Vapor RTF comes pre-bound to the included DSM2 transmitter. If you should need to re-bind your
airplane follow the simple directions below.
Setting the Airplane for Binding
1. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the receiver unit and the transmitter is turned off.
2. Plug in the flight battery into the airplane. When the LED on the receiver begins to flash rapidly, then
immediately proceed to instruction for your transmitter below.
Note: Although the transmitter included in your Night Vapor is 4-channel capable, the airplane is a
3-channel aircraft with proportional throttle, elevator, and rudder control. For this reason, the
rudder control is on the right stick.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally
Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. It will be necessary for you to “bind” your chosen
Spektrum DSM2 technology equipped transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. The following is a
list of some of the Spektrum DSM2-equipped transmitters and modules that will bind to the receiver of the
Night Vapor.

Transmitter Specific Binding Instructions
MLP4DSM, Vapor, Ember 2, P-51 Transmitter
1. When you see the LED on the receiver begin to flash rapidly, push the left stick on the transmitter
inward into the case (NOT pulling down on throttle stick) until you hear it click.
2. While pushing the stick in, power on the transmitter; release the stick once the transmitter is powered
on. The transmitter will beep and the LED on the face of the transmitter will pulse.
3. Once the transmitter stops beeping it will take a second or two to connect with the airplane.
Note: It can be difficult at times to see the LED blink (indicating you are in bind mode), therefore slowly
count to five once you have connected the battery and the airplane should enter bind mode at
that time.
DX5e or DX6i
1. To bind your Night Vapor to the DX5e or the DX6i, plug the battery into the receiver of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will flash red rapidly indicating it is in bind mode.
2. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and
neutral control positions are recommended).
3. Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning the transmitter on. Release the trainer
switch once the transmitter beeps.
4. The LED on the receiver will go solid red; the system will connect after several seconds.
DX7, DX7se, X9303, X9503, or 12X
1. To bind your Night Vapor to the DX7, DX7se, X9303, X9503, or 12X; plug the battery into the receiver of
the airplane. The LED on the receiver will flash red indicating it is in bind mode.
2. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and
neutral control positions are recommended).
3. Press the bind button on the back of the transmitter while turning the transmitter on. The bind button
on the back of the transmitter will flash. Release the button after 2–3 seconds.
4. The LED on the receiver will go solid red; the system will connect after several seconds.
Additional Binding Information
Prior to each flight, power on your transmitter and wait for five seconds before you plug the flight battery
into the receiver. This allows time for the transmitter to scan and secure two open frequencies. If you plug
the flight battery in too quickly and miss the link, the receiver may inadvertently enter bind mode. If this
occurs leave the transmitter on, then disconnect and reconnect the flight battery.
