Build Tips

  • When using the new "T" Spektrum Receivers such as the AR8010T, the Aura needs to be Firmware 1.6 to establish connection via SRXL as noted on our AR8010T page.
    • The AR8010T is our highest recommended Spektrum Receiver for the FlexJet.
  • Aura also must to be up to date (FW 1.6) for Dual Spektrum Remote Receiver handling.

NOTE: All FlexJets purchased in North America ship with FW 1.6 installed. Other users should install FW 1.6

  • Per the manual insert, please set you CH5/Gear Travel to +-125% to ensure the gear sequencer will follow the transmitter commands properly.
  • The Stab Linkage is located the 2nd hole from the center at the servo end
    Linkage Installation
  • The Stab Linkage is located on the Outer-most hole from center at the stab end
  • The Stab end Arm and Clevis can be turned to make length adjustments while checking. Screw in place after correct trim is confirmed.


  • Tips
    • It is possible to scrape the ventral fins and tail cone on the ground on landing. You can put a couple of layers of clear tape on the bottom of these to reduce wear
    • It is likely that you ventral fins are already installed, so you may not have to install these per the manual.
    • Your Side Fairings behind the stab are likely NOT installed. The are likely packed with your missile rails. Please glue them onto the aft fuselage with CA or Epoxy.

Please consult the Flex Jet Manual for Build instructions.
