Revolutionary SAFE
®
(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope)
technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis
sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know
its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness
is utilized to create a controlled fl ight envelope the aircraft
can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles
so you can fl y more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of
protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to
develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security
and fl ight control that always feels crisp and responsive.
SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the fl ip of
a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your
skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require
any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is
ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible fl ight
experience.

Rate Selection and Flight Modes
Change rates by moving the two-position dual rate switch.
Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier to
fl y model. Beginners should use low rate for initial fl ights.
High rate provides full control and should be used by
intermediate and experience pilots.
In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited to 40°. When
the cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is limited to 60°. When
the cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the
cyclic sticks is released the model will not return to level.
This mode is great for aerobatics.
Throttle Hold
Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering
on inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time
you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction
controls.
Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor quickly if the
helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both.
The blades will continue to spin briefl y when throttle hold is
activated. Directional control is still maintained.
This product requires an approved Spektrum DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
compatible transmitter.
Visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.
General Binding Procedure
1. Disconnect the fl ight battery from the helicopter.
2. Refer the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly setup your transmitter.
3. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
4. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position. Move the throttle to the low/off position.
5. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver).
6. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED fl ashes, indicating it is in bind mode.
7. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.
8. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver turns solid.
9. Disconnect the fl ight battery and power the transmitter off.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum™ DSM2
®
module, you must reverse the
throttle channel and re-bind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.
Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
Panic Recovery
If you get into distress while fl ying in any mode, push and
hold the Bind/Panic Switch and move the control sticks to
their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately re-
turn the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is
at a suffi cient height with no obstacles in its path. Release
the Panic Switch to turn off Panic Recovery and return to
the current fl ight mode.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the
confi dence to continue to improve their fl ight skills.
