Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmit-
ter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Take 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.
Expo
If your radio is equipped with Exponential, the values listed in the chart
below are a good starting point. After first flights, you may adjust expo
in your transmitter.
SAFE
®
Select Technology (BNF Basic)
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. As you drop the flaps, 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.
