Prefl ight
Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
Dual Rates
Take fi rst fl ights in Low Rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
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 for each
channel to fi t your fl ying style.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform
a model reset), then name the model.
Set Dual Rates to
HIGH 100%
LOW 70%
Set Servo Travel to
100%
Set Throttle Cut to
-130%
SAFE
®
Select Technology (BNF Basic)
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 cross winds. 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. 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.
