Auto Transmitter Setup

The AR631+ receiver, included with your Viper 64mm, is programmed with an all-new version of AS3X/SAFE. This includes a Smart Transmitter File, with the setup developed specifically for the Viper 64mm. This allows you to quickly import the settings for your transmitter, directly from your receiver, during the binding process.

Supported Transmitters and firmware requirements:

  • All NX Transmitters (with firmware version 4.0.11+)
  • iX14 (with app version 2.0.9+)
  • iX20 (with app version 2.0.9+)

Important: iX12 and DX Transmitters do not support Smart Transmitter File transfers at this time.

To load the Smart Transmitter Files:

  1. Power ON the transmitter.
  2. Create a new blank model file on your transmitter.
  3. Power ON the receiver.
  4. Press the bind button on the receiver.
  5. Put the transmitter into bind mode. The model will bind normally.
  6. Once binding is complete the download screen will appear as shown at the right.
  7. Select LOAD to continue.

The NOTICE screen, as shown at the right, is a warning that downloading will overwrite all the information of the current model. If this a new “blank” model it will simply populate the transmitter parameters of the Viper 64mm into the selected model and rename it Viper 64mm.

NOTICE: Confirming will override any previously saved transmitter setups.

  1. Press CONFIRM to continue.
  2. Once the download is complete the file will be installed on your transmitter and the telemetry information will be loaded automatically.

Once loading is complete the radio will return to the home screen, and you will see "Viper 64mm BNF-B EFL07750".

Transmitter setup is now complete, and you are ready to fly your aircraft.

Pre-Loaded Transmitter File Operation Notes

Flight Modes Active with Flap System

The imported file activates Flight Modes, setting them to the Flap switch (D). It also changes the Trim setting from Common, to Flight Mode. This allows aileron, elevator, and rudder trims to be separately adjusted for each flap setting. In-flight trim for all three axes is now independent, which provides the ability to precisely trim the model for each flap position.

Trim for each Flight Mode Switch (D) position:

POS 0: Trim all three axes for flaps up (normal)
POS 1: Trim all three axes for partial flaps (take-off)
POS 2: Trim all three axes for full flaps (landing)

Flight Timer

There is no flight timer loaded in the transmitter setup file. The voltage monitor provides alerts when the battery voltage has dropped to just above the LVC, indicating it is time to land. This system only functions when using Smart batteries. If you are not using a Smart battery, set your flight timer to monitor your flight time.

General Binding Tips and Failsafe

  • The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
  • Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
  • Do not point the transmitter's antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
  • The red LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.

  • Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.

  • If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
  • If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enable or Disable SAFE Select

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.

Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.

SAFE® Select Technology

When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive, and the amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined pitch and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.

When flying with SAFE Select it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with SAFE Select avoid making frequent control changes and don't attempt to correct for minor

deviations. With SAFE Select, holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.

Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.

Differences Between SAFE and AS3X Modes

This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed, battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

SAFE Select AS3X
Control InputControl stick is neutralizedAircraft will self levelAircraft will continue to fly at its present attitude
Holding a small amount of controlAircraft will bank or pitch to a moderate angle and maintain the attitudeAircraft will continue to pitch or roll slowly
Holding full controlAircraft will bank or pitch to the predetermined limits and maintain the attitudeAircraft will continue to roll or pitch rapidly

SAFE® Select Switch Designation

SAFE® Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position) controlling a channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch, SAFE select ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while in flight. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.

IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.

E-flite Viper 64mm EDF - SAFE® Select Switch Designation - 1

CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.

TIP: SAFE Select is assignable on any unused channels 5–9. See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.

TIP: Use your radio channel monitor to confirm that the four primary channels are showing 100% travel while assigning the switch.

TIP: Use the channel monitor to make sure the switch you are assigning for SAFE Select is active and driving a channel between 5-9 and that it is traveling 100% in each direction.

TIP: Make sure your four primary channels are not reversed if you are having trouble assigning a SAFE Select switch.

Assigning a Switch

  1. Bind the aircraft to choose SAFE Select ON. This will allow the system to be assigned to a switch.
  2. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the desired switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down) to assign that switch. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been selected.

Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch if desired.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

We recommend a 4S 2200mAh 50C LiPo battery with IC3 connector. If using a different battery, the battery should be of similar capacity, dimensions and weight to fit in the fuselage. Always be sure the model balances at the recommended CG with the battery chosen.

  1. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape to the bottom of the battery.
  2. Slide the canopy latch back and lift the back of the canopy to remove it.
  3. Power on the transmitter and wait 5 seconds.
  4. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting.
  5. Install the fully charged battery in the battery compartment as shown. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
  6. Secure the flight battery with the hook and loop strap.
  7. Connect the ESC to the battery power lead IC3 connector, noting the correct polarity. The ESC will emit opening chime.
  8. The first set of tones, 1 beep for each cell in the connected LiPo battery pack.
  9. Rising beep for ending chime.

NOTICE: Connecting the battery to the ESC with incorrect polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty.

  1. The ESC is now ready for use.*
  2. Reinstall the canopy hatch by sliding the hatch pin latch back on the fuselage. Ensure the hatch pin engages.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

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). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the airplane.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the flight battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each flight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Failure to unplug a connected battery will result in trickle discharge.

For your first flights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model.

NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.

Center of Gravity

E-flite Viper 64mm EDF - Center of Gravity - 1

WARNING: Install the battery but do not connect it to the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result.

The CG range is 80mm +/-5mm behind the leading edge at the wing root. Always check the CG location with model inverted.

The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or backward in the battery compartment.

NOTICE: The CG of the Viper should be checked in the configuration you are going to fly. If you will fly it with landing gear, the landing gear must be installed. If you will hand launch your Viper, the CG should be checked with the landing gear removed.

In Flight Trimming

During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter's trim switches to straighten the aircraft's flight path.

After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.

Failure to do so could affect flight performance.

AS3X Response Test

This test ensures that the AS3X® control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test.

  1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X.

E-flite Viper 64mm EDF - AS3X Response Test - 1

CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.

  1. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.

Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.

Due to different effects of torque, lift, and drag some aircraft require trim changes with different speeds and throttle settings. Mixes are preloaded into the receiver to compensate for these changes. The mixes become active the first time the throttle is raised above 25%. The control surfaces may be offset slightly at different throttle settings after the first time throttle is raised. Trimming the plane in flight should be done at 80-100% throttle for best results.

Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages.

If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn. Ball link pliers are recommended for removal and replacement of ball links.

After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the ball links to center the control surfaces.

Hand Launch

The BNF version of the Viper 64mm is equipped with Hand Launch Assist Mode which takes the stress out of hand launching your aircraft. The system works in the background to level the wings and set the model in a positive climb attitude, even after a less than perfect hand launch.

To activate Hand Launch Assist Mode:

  1. Make sure SAFE Select is enabled.
  2. Place the model in SAFE mode.
  3. Advance the throttle above 70%.
  4. Hand launch the model as you normally would. The acceleration of throwing the model automatically activates the assist mode, leveling the wings and setting the model in a positive climb attitude.
  5. After a few seconds of flight the system automatically disengages and reverts to normal SAFE mode.
  6. The system automatically resets after landing when the throttle is reduced below 5%, and the model is stationary for more than 5 seconds.
