SmartSafe and Preset Fail-safe.
SmartSafe
Thistypeoffail-safeisespeciallyidealformosttypesof
electric aircraft and is also recommended for most types 
of gas- and glow-powered airplanes and helicopters. 
Here’s how SmartSafe works.
Receiver Power Only
Whenthereceiveronlyisturnedon(notransmittersignal
is present), all servos except for the throttle are driven to 
their preset fail-safe positions, normally control surfaces 
atneutralandthelandinggeardown.Thesefail-safe
positions are stored in the receiver during binding. At this 
time the throttle channel has no output, to avoid operating 
or arming the electronic speed control. In glow-powered 
models, the throttle servo has no input so it remains in its 
current position.
After Connection
Whenthetransmitteristurnedonandafterthereceiver
connects to the transmitter, normal control of all channels 
occurs. After the system makes a connection, if loss of 
signal occurs, SmartSafe drives the throttle servo only 
to its preset fail-safe position (low throttle) that was set 
during binding. All other channels hold their last position. 
Whenthesignalisregained,thesystemimmediately(less
than 4 ms) regains control.
Preset Fail-Safe
Preset fail-safe is ideal for sailplanes and preferred by 
some modelers for their glow- and gas-powered aircraft.
Receiver Power Only

is present) all servos except for the throttle are driven to 
their preset fail-safe positions, normally control surfaces 
atneutralandthelandinggeardown.Thesefail-safe
positions are stored in the receiver during binding. At this

if loss of signal occurs preset fail-safe drives all servos 
to their preset fail-safe positions. For sailplanes, 
it’srecommendedthatthespoilers/flapsdeployto
de-thermalize the aircraft, preventing a flyaway. Some 
powered modelers prefer to use this fail-safe system to 
program a slight turn and low throttle to prevent their 
aircraftfromflyingaway.Whenthesignalisregained,the
system immediately (in less than 4 ms) regains control.

During the binding process, insert the bind plug in the bind 
port or in the charge jack, as the receiver is powered up.

incorporates a range testing system which, when the bind 
button on the transmitter is pressed and held, reduces the 
output power, allowing a range check.
