Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The Ares Advantage Exera 130 CX is the most advanced and easiest to fly 4-channel CX heli ever! Like other CX helis on the market it features an ultra-stable coaxial, counter-rotating blade design that helps make flying easy. However, what sets the Exera 130 CX apart is that it includes innovative Aegis Altitude Assist Technology (AAT). -

Page 6: Charging The Lipo Flight Battery
Store the battery at room temperature, approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit (F), and in a dry area for best results. When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the battery or model in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight whenever possible. -
Page 7: Transmitter Details
Transmitter Details Antenna Position/Orientation The RF output signals transmit best/strongest from the shaft of the antenna rather than from the tip. As a result you should never point the tip of the antenna directly at the model. Also, the transmitter anten- na can be rotated up to 180°... -

Altitude Assist Technology (AAT) IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the AAT module is ready to use right out of the box, please take the time to read through this section of the manual completely for information on function and perfor- mance, before proceeding with your first flight. Please also visit our web site at www.ares-rc.com to watch video of the Exera 130 CX and AAT in action. -
Page 12: Flying In Aat Mode 1
Flying in Mode 1 Calibration In Mode 1, the upward and downward sensors are active to enable altitude control while avoiding ceilings and other obstacles above the helicopter. In Mode 1, the pilot is only required to make very basic inputs on the throttle stick. With the helicopter resting on a flat, hard surface, the pilot can move the throttle stick from zero to full to initiate take-off. -
Page 13: Flying In Aat Mode 2
Flying in Mode 2 Calibration In Mode 2 only the upward sensor is active, enabling Ceiling Avoidance, which automatically re- duces throttle so that the Exera 130 CX avoids running into the ceiling In Mode 2, the pilot has more control over throttle and the AAT module performs two functions. First, it constantly calculates the range to the ceiling and reduces throttle as necessary to avoid possible collisions. -
Page 14: Flying In Aat Mode 3
Flying in Mode 3 Calibration In Mode 3, the ultrasonic sensors are not active and the pilot has full control of throttle. Recommended Flying Progression First time and low time pilots should use the default setting of Mode 1. This allows the pilot to learn the basic controls of moving the helicopter forwards/backwards, left/right, and rotating left/right with- out needing to control the altitude. -
Page 15: Notes On Ultrasonic Ranging
Note: Once in calibration mode the helicopter will fly as if it is in Mode 3 with no AAT Function, even though the tail switch indicates Mode 1. This is normal and indicates that you have successfully en- tered the calibration mode. To perform calibration, hover the helicopter in place for 4 minutes. -
Page 16: Flying Tips
Flying Tips Calibration Now that you’ve selected a suitable flying area you’re ready to fly! And when making your first flights we suggest following these steps: • Slowly raise the throttle stick to increase the speed of the main rotor blades until the model begins to lift off. -
