SAFE technology is a revolutionary ight training system designed to give you
a stable platform for safely developing your ying skills. This is not an autopilot
or self-guiding robot. The sensors and software in this system help you y the
aircraft where you want to go while decreasing the risk of an out-of-control
crash. You can progress through the Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced
ight modes as your skills increase, all with the condence of an optional Panic
recovery mode. At any time during a ight you can switch between the 3 ight
modes or use Panic recovery to get your aircraft to a safe ying attitude.
SAFE Flight Modes
Beginner Mode
RollPitch
• Envelope limit: Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and down)
angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne
• Self-leveling: when the pitch and roll controls are returned to neutral, the
aircraft returns to level ight
• Stability assisted takeoff and landing
• Throttle based climb and descent
Intermediate Mode
RollPitch
• Natural Flight Experience: Pitch and roll controls are increased. Self leveling
is not active.
• Large Flight Envelope: The pilot is only prevented from entering extreme
ight attitudes.
Experienced Mode
RollPitch
• Natural Flight Experience: The pilot experiences natural AS3X ight for
smooth handling and outstanding precision
• Unlimited Flight Envelope: No limit on Pitch and Roll angles (airframe
limited)
Panic Recovery
• Immediate recovery to a safe ying attitude
• Return all transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the condence to continue
to improve their ight skills
Pilot loses control of the aircraft in any
ight mode.

Pilot presses and holds the Panic
Recovery button and returns all other
controls to their neutral position. The
aircraft will roll wings level and pull
out of a dive...
...once the aircraft is ying straight
and level, the pilot releases the Panic
Recovery button and continues a
gentle climb to a safe altitude.
IMPORTANT: Aircraft will recover to a safer attitude even if sticks are held.
Some control input is still used with panic activated.

Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with the
kind of performance experts appreciate. Now the exclusive Articial Stability 3
Axis (AS3X) system helps take performance expectations in aircraft a quantum
leap higher. Based on the successful use of MEMS sensor technology within the
AS3X Stabilization System essential to Blade
®
ultra micro ybarless helicopters,
the specically tuned AS3X System for airplanes helps invisibly correct for
turbulence, torque and tip stalls when encountered. Furthermore, the outstanding
control agility delivers an ultra smooth, locked-in feel that obeys your every
command with performance that’s natural feeling. It’s so gratifying, in fact, that
it’s as though you’re the RC pilot of an expertly tuned, giant-scale aircraft. AS3X
will change the way you’ll want to y now and in the future.
