SAFE
®
Select Technology (BNF Basic)
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can offer an extra level of protection in fl ight. Use the following instructions to make
the SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and
automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane fl ying in a straight and level attitude when the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.
SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. When the airplane is bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between
SAFE Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X
SAFE Select can be confi gured three ways;
•
SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
•
SAFE Select On- no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
•
SAFE Select On with a switch assigned: Switch toggles between SAFE Select mode and AS3X mode

Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and

Dual Rates
Take fi rst fl ights in Low Rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate
values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of
the pushrods on the servo arm.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
