Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Preflight Checklist

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it
will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight 
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). 1. Charge flight battery.
Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will

achievable if using proper throttle management.
8. Find a safe and open area.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
9. Plan flight for flying field
conditions.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver
of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique CAUTION: When using a Futaba
Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module,
to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology you must reverse the throttle channel and
equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module
operation. manual for binding and failsafe instruct-
Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to ions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter
the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a manual for instructions on reversing the
complete list of compatible transmitters. throttle channel.

Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a
receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Bind the AR6310 receiver to a DSM2/DSMX transmitter by
shorting the bind pins (A) with tweezers, a hemostat or small
needle-nose pliers. Metal to metal contact is needed to com-
plete the circuit. Do not bend the bind pins.
5. Connect the flight battery to the aircraft. Short the pins until
the receiver LED begins to flash rapidly (typically after 5
seconds).
6. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle
and throttle trims are in the low position to correctly set the
failsafe.
7. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmit-
ter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions. A
8. 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.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of

the aircraft.

2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop

tape to the bottom of your battery near the
battery leads. This position allows easier
battery installation and removal.

3. For the recommended CG, install the battery

fully forward in the compartment (against the
firewall), then press the battery onto the hook
and loop strip (A). See the Adjusting the Center
of Gravity instructions for more information.

A
4. Connect a fully charged flight battery to the
ESC. See the Arming the ESC instructions for
correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

5. Reinstall the battery hatch.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the ESC when not flying to eliminate
power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have
an arming switch and will respond to any
transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the ESC when not flying 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 fire when batteries
are charged.

Arming the ESC

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as

previously described, but subsequent connection of
a flight battery requires the steps below.
1
Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep
after the flight battery is connected, recharge or
replace the battery.
If you accidentally connect the battery while
the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will
sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect the battery
immediately.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the settings.

Installing the Wing

1. Slide the wing tube into the right wing.

2. Insert the right wing with the wing tube (A)

into the round hole in the wing slot of
the fuselage while connecting the right
aileron control.

NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo A

connectors, do not pull on the servo wires.
Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction
fit of the servo connectors. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the servo wiring.

3. Install the left wing (B) by sliding it over

the wing tube to the fuselage while
connecting the left aileron control.

B
4. Invert the fuselage so the landing gear is
facing up. Secure the left and right wing to
the fuselage using the included screws (C).
6. Remove the screw (D) and the receiver
cover (E) from the bottom of the fuselage.
D
7. Connect the aileron servos in the wings C
to the Y-harness connectors in the
fuselage. The left and right aileron
servos can be connected to either side
of the Y-harness.

Tip: If you are using dual aileron/flaperon E

transmitter programming, connect the aileron
servo connectors to the AILE and AUX1 ports on
the receiver instead of using the
included Y-harness.
After connecting the servos to the separate
ports, program your transmitter for dual aileron/
flaperon and differential to benefit from the high
performance characteristics of this aircraft.

EN

Control Direction Test

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter
before doing these tests. Move the controls on
the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control
surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that

paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Control Centering
Before the first flights, or in the event of an
accident, make sure the flight control surfaces
are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if
the control surfaces are not centered.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are
centered. The transmitter sub-trim must
always be set to zero.
2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully
bend the metal linkage (see illustration).
3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the
connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider
to make the linkage longer.
Centering Controls After First Flights
If the model requires excessive transmitter trim
(4 or more clicks of trim per channel), return the
transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages
mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the
flight trimmed position.

Settings for Servo Arms

The following illustration shows the factory settings
for linkages on the servo arms. After flying, you
may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the
desired control response.

Applying Decals
Customize your aircraft by applying water-based
number decals (A) on both sides of the fuselage.

1. Ensure the fuselage is clean.

2. Cut around the desired numbers on the
decal sheet.
3. Soak the decals in water for 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Wet the fuselage with water, then move each
decal from the backing to the fuselage. A

Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your E-flite® 540 Edge
outside in no greater than moderate winds.
Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and
buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying
in areas where there are many people, such as busy
parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind). Set dual rates to LOW POSITION and
gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer Wind
with the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and
climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin
exploring the flight envelope of the aircraft.
Flying
This aircraft is extremely responsive to control
input. Fly at low rate settings until you are familiar
with its response.
Fly your first attempts at high rate settings at high
altitude and slow speeds.
Landing
Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to
approximately 36 inches (90 cm) or less above the
runway, using a small amount of throttle for the
entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft
is ready to flare. During flare, keep the wings level
and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower
the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to
bring the aircraft down on its wheels.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle
and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra
damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the
ESC and motor.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under
