Quick Start and Troubleshoong Guide

Must Read Before First Flight!

The Ares Advantage Exera 130 CX is a rst of its kind RC helicopter with breakthrough Aegis AAT

(Altude Assist Technology). To operate your new Exera properly and maximize the use of the

technology, it’s imperave that you read and follow these direcons closely.

Getting Started

Pre Flight Checks

Slide tab forward to open

baery tray

Slide baery in label side down

and wires to the right

Tuck wires under clip and twist

wire 180 degrees to keep wires

snug with baery

Note: Install the AA baeries in the transmier and turn it on before

plugging in the ight baery.

Cauon: Only use the recommended ight baery for your Exera 130

The wire length on other baeries may be too long and interfere with the mechanics of the helicopter.

For inial 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 baery and plug it back in.

Troubleshooting: Before visiting your local HobbyTown store for service

If you:

Have inial 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 aer 3 or 4 ights and re-charges of the baery, the ight performance sll 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 instrucons on how to calibrate. Do not calibrate your

helicopter unl aer you have own at least 3-4 ights and the performance is sll sluggish, as this

may not provide the intended performance benet.

To help keep new pilots out of “trouble” during early ights, in Mode 1 ight the heli is designed

with throle limiters that allow a maximum altude of about 3 (1 meter).

Are ying o of carpet or so surfaces

Lose the connecon from your transmier 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 plasc 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 connecon between the

transmier 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 baery into the

4-in-1 control board following the baery wire

roung instrucons menoned previously.

While pressing in on the throle sck, turn on

the transmier. Once it begins to beep you can

release the throle sck.

The stock landing skids were designed to maintain

the scale appearance of the MD 500E.

Leave the helicopter sing sll for several seconds unl it inializes. 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 transmier stops beeping, you can move the right sck to make sure you have

control and the helicopter is bound, or “connected” to the transmier.
