SAFE Select Switch Designation
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT:
To be able to assign a switch, first verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between 5 and 9
(Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal,
not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are in
use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
Assigning a Switch
1.
Power on the transmitter.
2.
Power on the aircraft.
3.
Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the
desired switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).
4.
The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been
selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch.

TIP:
Use the channel monitor to verify channel movement.
Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are
centered. The model must be powered up bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode,
with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up.
AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time
after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft
movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
3. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length
of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can provide
information like battery voltage and temperature.
To View Telemetry:
1.
Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver
2.
Power on the transmitter.
3.
Power on the aircraft.
4.
A signal bar appears in the top left corner of the screen when the telemetry
information is being received.
5.
Scroll past the servo monitor to view the technology screens.
