Observe the following procedures to safely power up your model
after it has been bound. Ensure propeller is removed unless
sequence is followed to power up before flight.
Lower the throttle stick and trim to their lowest setting and turn
on the transmitter. Wait for your transmitter to indicate the radio
signal is being broadcast before proceeding.
Ensure the aileron, elevator and rudder gimbals are centered.
With the airplane on a solid surface, connect the battery to the
ESC and wait. The ESC will make the motor emit a series of
audible tones during its intialization process.
The ESC will make the motor emit a short, final tone sequence
idicating that the ESC is now armed, and that the motor will spin
in response to throttle stick movement.
If a battery is connected to the ESC with the throttle fully
open on the active transmitter, the ESC will enter
programming mode. If this occurs, simply disconnect the
battery, lower the throttle, and reconnect the battery.
WARNING
When making adjustments to linkages,
transmitter settings or the Aura 8 flight control
system, remove the propeller to guard against
accidental spool up.
Hold the aircraft securely when connecting the
battery before flight. Always ensure the propeller
is clear of any and all objects as they may
become entangled.
WARNING
Always connect the battery when the throttle stick
and throttle trim is in the idle/cut-off position.
CAUTION
CONNECTING A BATTERY TO THE LED CONTROLLER (NIGHT VERSION ONLY)
The LEDs on your QQ Cap 232EX are switchable via the transmitter, and are designed to be powered by 12 volts (3S Li-Po) through the 6S
JST-XH balance tab on the LED controller. By default, the LED controller is plugged into Aura Port S6, which uses CH6/AUX1 from the
transmitter for control. Assign CH6/AUX1 in your transmitter to a 2-position switch for control of the LEDs. If the servo lead of the LED
controller is not plugged into the Aura or a receiver, the LEDs will default in the ON position, allowing the QQ Cap 232EX (Night
Version) to be flown at night with a basic 5-channel transmitter or receiver. The LEDs can be powered in two ways:
1.
2.
You can use a separate 3S Li-Po, by plugging the battery's balance connector directly into the balance connector on the LED controller.
Plug the battery balance tab into the LED connector so that the ground or black wire on your battery is fully to one side of the LED
controller's connector. Be sure that the tab nearest the black wire on your battery aligns with the slot in the LED controller's connector.
You can plug your flight battery's balance tab directly into the connector on the LED Controller. If using a 5S battery, be sure to align the
tab nearest the black wire on your battery with the slot in the LED controller's connector (reference the image below for 5S Li-Po).

WARNING
The LEDs use approximately 3.5Ah from ONLY 3 cells of the battery powering it. If using a higher cell count battery for
power, 3 of the cells will have a lower voltage than the others at the end of each flight. Leave excess voltage in the battery
at the end of each flight to prevent the over-discharging of the cells that power the LEDs. You MUST balance charge your
batteries after each flight the LED controller is powered by anything other than a 3 cell battery.
WARNING
Do not leave the battery plugged into the LED controller for extended periods of time. Doing so can
damage the battery.
