Optional SAFE+ GPS Upgrade

RTF/BNF Basic

The Delta Ray One receiver includes SAFE technology out of the box. 

The Delta Ray One aircraft is upgradable with the addition of the optional EFL9512 GPS module (not 

included) which enables Advanced SAFE+ features. With SAFE+, the aircraft can fl y a holding pattern 

on its own, return home and land by itself, and prevent the model from fl 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 fl ying with GPS. SAFE+ features are only 

available with the SAFE+ module installed and properly calibrated.

Follow the steps below to add SAFE+ functions to your aircraft. 

From the Box to the Air –
Adding the SAFE+ GPS Module

1. Charge the fl ight battery.

2. Set up your transmitter (BNF only).

3. Install the GPS module.*

4. Find a safe and open area.

5. Power the model on outdoors and 

perform the compass calibration.

6. Unplug the battery after the compass 

calibration is complete.

7. Power the model on and allow it to 

acquire a GPS lock. The elevons will 

move up and down as elevators until 

GPS lock is acquired, and then re-center.

8. Set the home position (and fl ying fi eld 

location for fl ying fi eld mode).

9. Place the aircraft into 

Experienced 

mode

 (Mode switch position 2) for the 

control direction test. Place the aircraft 

on the ground facing away from you. 

10. Perform Control Direction Test.

11. Place the aircraft into 

Beginner 

mode

 (Mode switch position 0) and 

cycle the throttle to activate SAFE.

12. Perform SAFE Control Direction Test.

13. Plan fl ight  for fl ying fi eld conditions.

14. Set a fl ight timer for 6 minutes.

15. Have fun!

GPS MODULE INSTALLATION: 

1. Verify the battery is not connected or 

installed in the aircraft. 

2. Feed the cable from the GPS module into 

the back of the battery cavity, toward the 
center of the aircraft. 

3. Flip the model over, open the magnetic 

cover, and pull the connector through to the 
center electronics bay. 

4. Connect the cable from the GPS module 

with the GPS cable from the main receiver/
servo circuit board. Prevent the cables from  
interfering with the servo gears.
