Control Surface Direction
Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to operate
the aileron and elevator controls. Aileron and elevator controls are mixed together
on the full flying horizontal stabilizers, creating a taileron configuration. View the
aircraft from the rear when checking the control directions.
Ailerons
1. Move the aileron stick to the left. The right taileron should move down and the
left taileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank left.
2. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right taileron should move up and the
left taileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.

Elevators
3. Pull the elevator stick back. Both tailerons should move up, which will cause
the aircraft to pitch up.
4. Push the elevator stick forward. Both tailerons should move down, which will
cause the aircraft to pitch down.

When SAFE Select is activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-
controlling the aircraft. Additionally, by releasing the controls in the event you lose
orientation, SAFE Select will keep the
aircraft level.
To activate SAFE Select, flip the Gear channel switch (Switch A) to position 0.
Return the Gear switch to position 1 to turn OFF SAFE Select and fly with just the
assistance of AS3X
®
technology.
If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in a confusing attitude, flip the Gear
switch to position 0 and release the sticks. With the aileron and elevator sticks in
the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight
and level attitude.
Disabling and Enabling SAFE Select
By default, the SAFE Select function of your aircraft is enabled and assigned to the
Gear channel switch (channel 5). If you do not wish to have access to SAFE Select
while flying, you can choose to disable SAFE Select functionality. AS3X will still be
active when SAFE Select is disabled.
SAFE Select cannot be assigned to another channel in this aircraft. Choose to fly
with SAFE Select ON or OFF using switch A (by default) when using the suggested
transmitter setup.
IMPORTANT:
Before attempting to disable or enable SAFE Select, ensure the
aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle and gear channels are all on high rate with the
travel set to 100%. Turn throttle hold OFF if it is programmed in the transmitter.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts clear of the rotor, intake and exhaust tube
and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle
activation.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners and toggle the Gear
switch 5 times (1 toggle = full up and down). The control surfaces of the
aircraft will move, indicating SAFE Select has been enabled or disabled.
Repeat the process to re-enable or disable SAFE Select.
SAFE
®
Select Technology
Switch A is used for SAFE Select as shown below on the NX8
TIP:
If you prefer to use a different
switch to control SAFE Select, you
can assign it to another switch in
your transmitter by changing the
switch assigned to gear/channel 5.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend using
high rates when flying with SAFE
Select ON
Low rates with SAFE Select ON will
reduce the pitch and bank angle
limits resulting in less control and
wider turns in particular.
