SAFE Technology Flight Modes
This aircraft has 3 selectable fl ight modes and a Panic Recovery feature. It
is extremely important to follow the Transmitter Setup section of this manual
before binding your transmitter to this aircraft .
3D Mode (High Gain):
This mode uses high rates and high gains to deliver extreme maneuverability
with maximum stability at low airspeeds. Use this mode for slow fl ying and 3D
maneuvers such as Hovers and Harriers. Flying at high speed in this mode
could cause oscillation.
3D Mode (Low Gain):
This mode uses high rates and lower gains to deliver extreme maneuverability
with gains set low enough to fl y at full power without oscillaton.
Precision Mode (Low Rate/Low Gain):
This mode uses low rates and low gains to deliver precise response at high
airspeeds. Use this mode to trim the aircraft and fl y fast precision maneuvers.
Adjusting the Programming of the AR636
The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation specifi cally
for this aircraft. However, you can adjust the programming at anytime by down-
loading the Spektrum AS3X App, then purchase the Spektrum
Audio-interface
AS3X
®
receiver programming cable (SPMA3081) or with the Spektrum
AS3X
Programming cable USB interface (SPMA3065).
Panic Recovery Mode
If you feel you have lost control of the aircraft (in any mode), hold the Panic
Recovery button/switch. The SAFE
®
technology will return the aircraft to
upright fl ight.
Always fl y at a safe altitude, as Panic Recovery may cause the aircraft to lose
altitude while returning to upright fl ight. Release the Panic Recovery button/
switch to turn off Panic mode and return to the current SAFE fl ight mode with
full stick control again.
IMPORTANT: If the aircraft is upside down when the Panic Recovery button/
switch is pressed, suffi cient altitude may be required for the aircraft to return
to upright fl ight.
