SAFE
®
Select Technology
BNF
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can
offer an extra level of protection in flight. 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 flying 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, or it can be enabled
via Forward Programming. When the airplane is bound with SAFE Select enabled,
a switch can be assigned to toggle SAFE Select ON or OFF. AS3X
®
technology
remains active at all times.
SAFE Select can be configured three ways:
• SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
• SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
• SAFE Select On with a switch assigned

SAFE Select Flying Tips
BNF
When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any time the
aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control
will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick is moved will
determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft to
the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with
moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with SAFE
Select, avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for
minor deviations. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to fly
at a specific angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight
attitude.
When flying with SAFE Select, throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend. Full
throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid throttle will keep
the airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to descend slightly
nose-down.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE
Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into
AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for
AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.
Differences between SAFE Select and AS3X modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight speed,
battery charge status, and other limiting factors.

Control Input
Control stick
is neutralized
Aircraft will self level
Aircraft will continue to

of control
Aircraft will bank or pitch to a

Holding full

Aircraft will continue to
roll or pitch rapidly
Throttle
Full throttle: Climb
Neutral: Level flight
Low throttle: Descend
Throttle will not affect
flight response.
Dual Rates
Make first flights 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.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust exponential in your transmitter.
Telemetry Setup
See the Telemetry Setup table after binding.
In order for the ESC and battery
information to auto-populate in your transmitter’s telemetry menu, you must begin
telemetry setup with the aircraft bound and connected.
