Select Technology, Optional Flight Envelope Protection
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and
automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.
With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch
to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.
Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.
IMPORTANT:
Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly
programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT:
Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding.
This process defines the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
General Binding Tips
• The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this
aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
• The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind
mode.
• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until
you re-bind.
• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.
Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move
to actively level the aircraft in flight.
• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
