The Carbon Cub S2 ight controler includes SAFE technology out of the box.
The Carbon Cub S2 ight controler is upgradable with the addition of the
optional SPMA3173 GPS module (not included) which enables advanced
SAFE+ features. With SAFE+, the aircraft can y a holding pattern on its
own, return home and land by itself, and prevent the model from ying too
far from the pilot.
IMPORTANT: Read the information in this manual covering the optional
SAFE+ GPS upgrades, and learn the use of Holding Pattern and Autoland
modes before ying with GPS. SAFE+ features are only available with the
SAFE+ module installed and properly calibrated.
Follow the steps to add SAFE+ functions to your aircraft.
