SAFE
®
Select Technology
(
BNF Basic
)
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can
offer an extra level of protection in flight. Use the following instructions to make the
SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select
prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and
automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane flying in a straight and level attitude when
the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.
SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. When the airplane is
bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between SAFE
Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X
®
technology remains active with no banking
limits or self leveling any time SAFE Select is disabled or OFF.
SAFE Select can be configured three ways;
• SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
• SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
• SAFE Select On with a switch assigned: switch toggles between SAFE Select
mode and AS3X mode

Model Assembly
Horizontal Stabilator Installation
1. Invert the fuselage and slide the stabilator rod (
A
) into the mount on the
fuselage.
IMPORTANT:
Care must be taken when inverting the fuselage.
2. Secure the stabilator rod in the fuselage with the included M3x10mm
countersunk machine screw (
B
) (2mm hex driver required). Tighten the screw
until the screw head reaches the countersink of the fuselage.
3. Ensure the screw captures the groove on the stabilator rod.
4. Insert the Z-bend into the 3rd hole from the output shaft of the servo arm. The
pushrod should be inserted from the outside of the arm and then snap the ball
link onto the ball mounted on the control horn.
5. Repeat the process for the other stabilizer half.
