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.
  • 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.


*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

Please consult the Flex Jet Manual for Build instructions.
