DELIVERS BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE
The AS3X
®
system for airplanes is an electronic
enhancement system that makes it possible for you to
experience super-smooth flight performance, yet still
have full control authority for sport or scale flight.
Turbulence, torque and tip stalls are just some of the
many complications to assess when trying to achieve
smooth flight. The Horizon Hobby world-class team of RC
pilots developed the AS3X system for airplanes based on
the successful use of AS3X with ultra micro flybarless
helicopters. Specially tuned for airplanes, the AS3X system
invisibly helps with complicated corrections, allowing you
to experience ultra-smooth flight performance that feels so
natural that you’ll quickly build confidence in the capability
of the airplane.
AS3X system setup is simple. Just bind your DSM2
®
/
DSMX
®
transmitter to the model using a basic airplane
program and AS3X will assure that the locked-in feel and
control authority you want is instantly at your command to
help show off your RC pilot skills.
AS3X will innovate the way you’ll want to fly now and in
the future.
SAFE
®
Select Technology
The evolutionary SAFE
®
Select technology can offer an
extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight
with confidence. No complex transmitter programming
is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make
the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank
and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and
automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or
confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In
fact, with the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the
neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the
airplane in a straight and level attitude.
Expand the advantage of what SAFE
®
Select technology
offers by assigning it to a switch. No transmitter
programming is required and you’ll be able to turn the
system ON and OFF with the flip of a switch. For example,
turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs to counter the torque
of the propeller. Turn it OFF in flight for unrestricted
aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy
wants to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select
ON for landings. SAFE Select reduces your workload by
compensating for pitch changes automatically, regardless
of throttle position. It will help keep the correct pitch
attitude and wings level during the final approach.
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select can
make your flights a great experience.
When the normal bind process is followed, the SAFE
Select system is disabled, leaving specially tuned AS3X
®
technology in place to deliver a pure, unrestricted flight
experience.
Preflight Checklist
1. Charge flight battery.
2. Install flight battery in aircraft (once it has been
fully charged).
3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.
4. Make sure linkages move freely.
5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter.
6. Set dual rates and exponential.
7. Adjust center of gravity.
