SAFE (SELF LEVELING) FLYING TIPS

When flying in SAFE Self Leveling/Angle Demand mode, the aircraft will return 
to level flight any time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying 
aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The 
amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding 
full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but 
it will not go past those angles.

When flying with Self Leveling/Angle Demand, it is normal to hold the control 
stick deflected with moderate to full aileron input when flying through a turn. To 
fly smoothly with Self Leveling/Angle Demand, avoid making frequent control 
changes and don’t attempt to correct for minor deviations. Holding deliberate 
control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle, and the model 
will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.

When flying with Self Leveling/Angle Demand, you have the option to enable 
throttle to pitch angle demand. Throttle to pitch will make throttle dictate climb 
angle. Full throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid 
throttle will keep the airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to 
descend slightly nose-down.

Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from Self 
Leveling/Angle Demand mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls 
when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for Self Leveling/
Angle Demand mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react 
immediately.
