TRANSMITTER SETUP
The included Aura 8 is designed to work seamlessly with all popular transmitter and receiver brands, however, transmitter setup is significantly
different than when setting up a model without Aura. Follow these steps:
1. Start with a new and freshly reset model memory in your transmitter.
2. Adjust your transmitter settings according to the Transmitter Configuration Guide below.
3. Make ONLY the changes shown in the Transmitter Configuration Guide. No other changes are required.

1 JR customers should use JR XBUS Mode A, and follow the chart above. This is the preferred JR DMSS connection to Aura.
2 If you are using a Futaba transmitter, please note that some Futaba transmitters have the throttle set to reversed by default. We recommend
that you leave the reversing set to the defaults and reverse it if needed after testing. NOTE: do all throttle testing with the prop removed!
3 This time is a safe starting point for most pilots. This aircraft can typically fly anywhere between 4 and 6 minutes (with 6S 1800mAh Li-Po),
depending on an individual’s flying style.
