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. Select can also be
activated via Forward Programming with compatible transmitters. When the
airplane is bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle
between SAFE Select mode and AS3X mode.
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: Switch toggles between SAFE
Select mode On and OFF.
