Control Direction Test
Perform the Control Direction Test in
beginner mode to ensure the aircraft
responds correctly to your transmitter.
Once you are sure the aircraft
responds correctly, stay clear of the
prop, run the motor briefl y to above
half power or more. Shut the motor
back off and confi rm the throttle stick
is in the lowest position.
Change to beginner mode. Move the
aircraft as shown to ensure the SAFE
system moves the control surfaces
in their proper direction. If the control
surfaces do not respond as shown,
do not fl y the aircraft. Contact
Horizon Hobby Product Support.
The SAFE system will not activate
until the throttle stick or trim is
increased for the fi rst time after the
fl ight battery is connected. Once the
SAFE is active, the control surfaces
may move on the aircraft. This is
normal. SAFE will remain active
until the battery is disconnected.

Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a
location to fl y your aircraft.
In order to have the most
success and to protect your
property and aircraft, it is very
important to select a place to fl y
that is very open.
Remember, your aircraft can
reach signifi cant speeds when
fl ying and can cover ground
quickly. Plan on fl ying in an area
that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially
with fi rst fl ights.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of approxi-
mately 1300 feet (400m)
of clear space in all direc-
tions.
• Be clear of people and pets.
• Be free of trees, buildings,
cars, power lines or anything
that could entangle your
aircraft or interfere with your
line of sight.
