Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT:
After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
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.
Retractable landing gear
Move the Channel 5 (gear) switch to raise or lower the retractable landing gear.
Computerized Transmitter Setup
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO model (perform a model
reset), then name the model.

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. 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. 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.
