When pressed down, trim buttons make a sound that increases or decreases in pitch at each pressing. The middle or 
neutral trim position is heard as a middle tone in the pitch range of the sounds. The end of the control range is sounded 
by a series of beeps.

Revolutionary SAFE™ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors 
and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create 
a controlled fl ight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fl y more safely. 
Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a 
greater degree of security and fl ight control that always feels crisp and responsive. 

SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the fl ip of a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use 
and optimized to offer the best possible fl ight experience.
