IMPORTANT:
After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE:
To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values
below 50%. If less control deflection is 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.
Exponential (Expo)
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.

The names given in parentheses correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming
terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about
programming 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 BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can
offer an extra level of protection in flight. Use the following instructions to make the
SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select
prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and
automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane flying in a straight and level attitude when
the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.
SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. When the airplane is
bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between SAFE
Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X
®
technology remains active with no banking
limits or self leveling any time SAFE Select is disabled or OFF.
SAFE Select can be configured three ways;
• SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
• SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
• SAFE Select On with a switch assigned: Switch toggles between SAFE Select
mode and AS3X mode
