You control the help SAFE
®
technology provides while you learn to y. As
your ying skills grow, decrease SAFE technology assistance. Change aircraft
response at any time by moving the Channel 5 (SAFE Flight mode) switch on
your transmitter.
IMPORTANT: These instructions are for the included SLT6LP transmitter
(or similar transmitters) with a 3-position switch for Channel 5. If you y this
aircraft with a Spektrum transmitter other than the included SLT6LP, refer to
the Bind and Fly Transmitter Setup section of this manual.
Panic Recovery Mode
If you get into distress while ying in any mode, press and hold the
Panic / Trainer button and move the control sticks to their neutral position. The
SAFE technology will return the aircraft to a stable attitude, if the aircraft is at a
sufcient height with no obstacles in its path. Release the Panic Button to turn
off Panic mode and return the current SAFE ight mode. If you get into trouble
and need to go back to Beginner mode for maximum stability, remember to
fully move back the Channel 5 switch.
Activating SAFE Technology
SAFE technology is not active until you advance the throttle past 25%. Once the
SAFE technology is active, the control surfaces may move on the aircraft. This
is normal. The SAFE technology will remain active until the ESC is turned off.
Understanding Oscillation
In some ight conditions, you may see oscillation. If oscillation occurs,
decrease the airspeed. If oscillation still persists, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
CAUTION: Flying in level forward ight and calm wind conditions at
full throttle in any mode or long high-speed dives may result in strong
oscillation that can damage the aircraft.
If there is oscillation in any mode, decrease throttle immediately. If oscillation
persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
CAUTION: Beginner, Intermediate, and Panic modes are intended for
the training environment. Flying continuous high-G maneuvers (such
as loops) in Experienced mode for an extended period of time may lead to
inconsistent ight envelope and Panic Recovery behavior. If this occurs, land
in Experienced mode and power cycle the receiver before ying again.
Launch and Landing Assistance
Take off and landings can be better managed by using Beginner mode. If the
model is launched incorrectly, or is landing at a less than perfect attitude, press
and hold the Panic button. The model can correct and help to prevent a crash.
See the Take Off and Landing sections in this manual.
IMPORTANT: A level runway is required for takeoffs in Beginner mode due
to throttle climb assistance.

Failsafe
In the unlikely loss of radio connection, failsafe will place the aircraft in a
descending circle to the ground, unless the radio connection is restored.
Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology
SAFE Technology makes this aircraft a better learning tool, but you must set yourself up for success in flying:
• SAFE technology is designed as ight assistance, not an autopilot. The pilot is always in control and required to y the aircraft at all times
• Follow the instructions provided in this manual to maintain your aircraft in top ying condition
• Seek qualied model ying instruction through your local model ying club. A qualied ight instructor can propel your advancement in this hobby
• Wind and environment can affect SAFE technology ight performance
• Ensure you have no distractions so you benet from every moment of ight time
• You must still y the aircraft away from obstacles and at an altitude that will allow for a safe recovery
