Ember 2 BNF ™ Introduction An exciting innovation from Horizon Hobby is changing the way people experience RC flight. New models offered in Ready-To-Fly form have been desired by experienced fliers, but they have been disappointed with the need to purchase the additional transmitters included in the RTF boxes. Bind-N-Fly™ solves this problem.

Warning Though your ParkZone Ember 2 comes ready to fly, this aircraft is for experienced RC pilots only and is not a toy. It can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. FCC Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Step 2 – Binding the Ember 2 Transmitter Preparation Please make sure you have fresh/charged batteries in your transmitter. If applicable, set your transmitter model to Airplane. JR/Spektrum transmitters’ servo settings should be set to default (normal) servo direction. Futaba transmitters (equipped with Spektrum modules) may require you to reverse the throttle channel. Installing the Landing Gear Attach the main landing gear by sliding the gear into the lower slot located on the front wing mount.

and secure two open frequencies. If the flight battery is plugged in too quickly and the link is missed, it may cause the receiver to inadvertently enter bind mode. If this occurs simply leave the transmitter on and then disconnect and reconnect receiver power (flight battery). 4. Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the elevator should move down (when viewing the Ember 2 from the back).
PAGE 6
Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces 1. Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator to neutral (zero degrees deflection) should be possible using the trim buttons on the transmitter. 2. If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been corrected. 3. If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length of the pushrod by gently stretching or pinching the bend in the control wire as necessary.

Step 5 – Flying your Ember 2 Selecting a Flying Site Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone Ember 2. It is ideal for you to fly in an indoor location with a floor area of 40’x40’ and a minimum ceiling height of 20 feet. We suggest that first flights are done in a larger area, such as a basketball court or gymnasium. If you choose to make your flights outdoors, the conditions MUST be COMPLETELY CALM. The Ember 2 weighs less than 1 ounce and can easily be blown away.

Step 8 – Flying 1. After launching, your Ember 2 will climb at full throttle. Keep the throttle full on until you have reached a safe altitude. At this same time, make sure that you are continuing to keep the airplane directed on its intended path. 2. Make right and left adjustments as necessary to keep the plane headed on its intended path. After you have reached 4-6 feet of altitude, you can begin to make the directional changes that you desire. 3.

Step 11 – Landing Your Ember 2 Reference Information When you begin to notice that your Ember 2 no longer climbs well under full power (normally after approximately 10-15 minutes), the battery is getting low and it is time to land. Bring in your aircraft toward the desired landing spot. Gradually reduce throttle (as well as giving a small amount of down elevator if you choose) to reach an altitude of approximately 4 feet.
