Quick Start and Troubleshoong Guide
Must Read Before First Flight!
The Ares Advantage Exera 130 CX is a rst of its kind RC helicopter with breakthrough Aegis AAT
(Altude Assist Technology). To operate your new Exera properly and maximize the use of the
technology, it’s imperave that you read and follow these direcons closely.
Getting Started
Pre Flight Checks
Slide tab forward to open
baery tray
Slide baery in label side down
and wires to the right
Tuck wires under clip and twist
wire 180 degrees to keep wires
snug with baery
Note: Install the AA baeries in the transmier and turn it on before
plugging in the ight baery.
Cauon: Only use the recommended ight baery for your Exera 130
The wire length on other baeries may be too long and interfere with the mechanics of the helicopter.
For inial ights, it’s recommended that you take o from a hard, smooth area-like a wood,
le, or cement oor.
Before your rst ight, make sure that you have plenty of space. Ideally, you should give your-
self at least a 20 x 20 area that is free from obstacles and has a ceiling of at least 9.
Before ying, check the red LED on the tail of the heli to make sure that the AAT technology
is engaged. If engaged, it will blink steadily on and o. If AAT is not engaged, the LED will stay
on. To engage AAT , simply unplug the heli baery and plug it back in.

Troubleshooting: Before visiting your local HobbyTown store for service
If you:
Have inial performance concerns in Mode 1 ight
If during your rst few ights, the helicopter struggles to take o or only rises slightly o the oor,
don’t be alarmed. It may take several ights for the motors to break in. During break-in this behav-
ior is normal for high performance motors like those in the Exera.
If aer 3 or 4 ights and re-charges of the baery, the ight performance sll feels “sluggish”, you
may need to calibrate the ight system to ne-tune peak motor performance. If that’s the case
please refer to page 14 in the manual for instrucons on how to calibrate. Do not calibrate your
helicopter unl aer you have own at least 3-4 ights and the performance is sll sluggish, as this
may not provide the intended performance benet.
To help keep new pilots out of “trouble” during early ights, in Mode 1 ight the heli is designed
with throle limiters that allow a maximum altude of about 3 (1 meter).

Are ying o of carpet or so surfaces
Lose the connecon from your transmier to the helicopter
Because of the scale design, the Exera may want to
lean backwards when taking o from so surfaces
like carpet.
To prevent “leaning back” from happening, simply
install the black plasc landing gear extenders (in-
cluded in the accessory bag with the screwdriver) to
the back of the landing gear as shown in the photo.
If you have lost the connecon between the
transmier and receiver the LED on the tail of
the helicopter will show 2 short blinks fol-
lowed by a long pause.
Quickly plug a fully charged baery into the
4-in-1 control board following the baery wire
roung instrucons menoned previously.
While pressing in on the throle sck, turn on
the transmier. Once it begins to beep you can
release the throle sck.
The stock landing skids were designed to maintain
the scale appearance of the MD 500E.

Leave the helicopter sing sll for several seconds unl it inializes. Wait for the red LED on
the tail to go from fast blinking (binding in process) to a slow blink. Once the LED is blinking
slowly and the transmier stops beeping, you can move the right sck to make sure you have
control and the helicopter is bound, or “connected” to the transmier.
