Manually Adjusting Trim

WARNING:

 

Do not

 perform any maintenance 

with the propeller installed on the aircraft. 

Serious injury or property damage could result from the 
motor starting inadvertently.

The SAFE Plus fl ight mode switch should be set to 

Experienced mode

 (position 2) before manually adjusting 

the trim settings. 
The aircraft should be kept still while perfoming manual 
adjustment of trim. 
With the trim settings from the trim fl ight still set in the 
transmitter, take note of the positions of each of the 
control surfaces, one at a time.
Adjust the clevis on each control surface to position the 
surface the same as it was with the trim offset.
1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.
2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the 

pushrod.

3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the tube 

towards the horn to secure the clevis.

4. Move to the next control surface.
When you have all of the surface trims centered, return 
the trim settings on the transmitter to neutral by pushing 
the trim buttons for each surface until the transmitter 
emits a loud beep indicating center trim.

Change between SAFE Plus fl ight modes by changing the 
fl ight mode switch position.

Beginner Mode (Position 0):

•  Below approx. 50 feet (15m), pitch (nose up and down) 

and roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to 
help you keep the aircraft airborne.

•  Above approximately 50 feet (15m), pitch and roll control 

are increased slightly.

•  At any time release both sticks to activate

panic recovery mode for self-leveling.

Intermediate Mode (Position 1):

•  Same as beginner mode, with greater pitch control 

above approximately 50 feet (15m).

•  Above 50 feet (15m) self leveling is not active.
•  Self-leveling is active below 50 feet.

Experienced Mode (Position 2):

•  Unlimited Flight Envelope.
•  Switch to beginner mode at any time and release the 

control sticks for self-leveling.

NOTICE:

 If the aircraft is upside down when the self leveling 

is applied, suffi cient altitude is required for the aircraft to 
return to straight and level fl ight.
