Transmitter Setup
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Take rst ights 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
After rst ights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter or refer to the AR631
receiver manual for expo adjustment.
SAFE
®
Select Technology
The evolutionary SAFE
®
Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the rst ight with condence. 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 ip of a switch. For example, turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs to counter the torque of a large 5 blade propeller. Turn it OFF in ight
for unrestricted aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants to try out your cool warbird. Turn SAFE Select ON for landings. As you drop the
landing gear, 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 nal approach. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select can make your ights 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
ight experience.

Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12, iX20 programming
may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare™ radios. The names given
in parenthesis correspond to the iX12, iX20 programming terminology. Consult your
transmitter manual for specic information about programming your transmitter.
‡
The settings provided above for the DX6 and DX6e do not allow for the use of a SAFE Select
switch. To use a SAFE Select switch on these systems see the section below for transmitter
setup and operation information.
