Transmitter Setup
IMPORTANT:
After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
At fi rst fl y with Low Rate.
NOTICE:
To ensure AS3X
®
technology functions properly, do not lower rate
values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of
the pushrods on the servo arm.
NOTICE:
If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
Expo
After fi rst fl ights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform a model
reset), then name the model.

SAFE
®
Select Technology
The evolutionary SAFE
®
Select technology can offer an extra level of protection
so you can perform the fi rst fl ight with confi dence. No complex transmitter
programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the
SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep
you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from
risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In fact, with the
aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will
automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.
Expand the advantage of what SAFE
®
Select technology offers by assigning it
to a switch. No transmitter programming is required and you’ll be able to turn
the system ON and OFF with the fl ip of a switch. For example, turn SAFE select
ON for takeoffs to counter the torque of the propeller. Turn it OFF in fl ight for
unrestricted aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants
to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select ON for landings. As you drop the
fl aps, SAFE Select reduces your workload by compensating for pitch changes
automatically, regardless of throttle position. It will help keep the correct pitch
attitude and wings level during the fi nal approach. Whether you’re a beginner
or an expert, SAFE Select can make your fl ights a great experience.
When the normal bind process is followed, the SAFE Select system is
disabled, leaving specially tuned AS3X
®
technology in place to deliver a pure,
unrestricted fl ight experience.
