SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic)
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which
can offer an extra level of protection in flight. Use the following
instructions to make the SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch.
When enabled, SAFE Select prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past
predetermined limits, and automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane flying in
a straight and level attitude when the aileron, elevator, and rudder sticks
are at neutral.
SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the binding process, or it can be
enabled via forwarding Programming. When the airplane is bound with SAFE
Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle SAFE Select ON or OFF.
AS3X® technology remains active at all times.
SAFE Select can be configured three ways:
- SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode
- SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode
- SAFE Select On with a switch assigned

Transmitter Setup (BNF Basic)
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
The GEAR Channel (CH 5) controls the retractable landing gear. If you are
using a 6 channel transmitter, The FLAP Channel (CH 6) can be used to toggle
SAFE Select.
With the values listed below it will turn SAFE on for half and full flap
positions and AS3X will be on for no flaps position.
To use the flap channel for the SAFE Select switch the values must be set to
+100 and -100 and the speed set to 0 temporarily to assign the safety switch
in the flap system menu. Then change the flap systems values back to the
listing in the TX setup. See the SAFE Select Switch Designation section of
this manual to assign the switch for SAFE Select.
Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights at a low rate. For landings, use a high rate
elevator.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X technology functions properly do not lower rate
values below 50%. If less control deflection is 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.
Exponential
After the first flights, you may adjust the expo in your transmitter.
†Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20
programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare™ radios.
The names given in parentheses correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming
terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about

Battery Installation and ESC Arming
Battery Selection
A 6S 4000–7000mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 30C
LiPo battery (SPMX50006S30) is recommended. Refer to the Optional Parts List
for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed,
the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions, and weight of
the Spektrum Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model
balances within the recommended CG range before flying.
-
Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the transmitter then waits 5 seconds.
-
Remove the battery hatch.
-
For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and loop tape to the bottom of your battery, and the hook side to the battery tray.
-
Install the fully charged battery in the center of the battery compartment as shown. Secure using the hook and loop straps.
-
Connect the battery to the ESC. If you have not completed the bind sequence, do so at this time as outlined in this manual.
CAUTION: Always keep hands and loose items away from the fan intake.
When armed, the motor will turn the rotor in response to any throttle movement. -
Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The motor will emit a series of rising tones when the battery is connected, and then 6 even tones indicating the number of cells connected.
• An LED will light on the receiver when it is initialized -
Reinstall the battery hatch.
ESC Tones
If the ESC sounds like a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replaces the battery.
ESC Error Tones
| Tone Meaning|
Possible problem
---|---|---
Continuous slow single tones| Abnormal throttle signal| Transmitter and
receiver not bound
Throttle lead damaged or not plugged into the receiver
Throttle lead plugged into receiver backward
Continuous rapid single tones| Throttle signal not at a low position| Throttle
stick not at a low position
Throttle travel reduced below 100%
Throttle reversed
Throttle trim raised
Continuous double tones| Battery voltage is beyond the acceptable range|
Verify the battery is a 22.2V 6-cell LiPo
Verify the battery is fully charged
Center of Gravity
WARNING: Install the battery but do not connect it to the ESC while
checking the CG. Personal injury may result.
The CG location is 10mm (±7mm) from the back edge of the front plastic wing
mounting structure. Always check the CG location with the model inverted,
and the landing gear down.
The CG location is adjusted by moving the battery pack forward or backward in
the battery compartment.
General Binding Tips and Failsafe
-
The included receiver has been specifically programmed for the operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
-
Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
-
Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
-
The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.
-
Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.
-
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.
Failsafe moves the throttle channel to the low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn. -
If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide, or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
**Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enable or Disable SAFE Select (BNF
Basic)**
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology,
enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. The SAFE model includes
angle limits and automatic self-leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a
direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled
during the binding process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always
in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select
mode all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select
and AS3X modes.
Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-
time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a
switch.
IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this
manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is
properly programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and
ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before
and during binding. This process defines the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case OR a
conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE can also be enabled via forwarding Programming.
Using The Bind Button…
To Enable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT DISABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth once every time the receiver is powered on.
| To Disable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT DISABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth once every time the receiver is powered on.
To Enable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT ENABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth twice with a slight pause at a neutral position every time the receiver is powered on.
| To Disable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT DISABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth once every time the receiver is powered on.
---|---
SAFE® Select Switch Designation
SAFE® Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 positions)
controlling a channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch,
SAFE select ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X
mode while in flight. If the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the
aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
IMPORTANT: Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel
for that the channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron,
elevator, rudder, and throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
TIP: SAFE Select is assignable on any unused channels 5–9. See your
transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP: Use your radio channel monitor to confirm that the four primary
channels are showing 100% travel while assigning the switch.
TIP: Use the channel monitor to make sure the switch you are assigning
for SAFE Select is active and driving a channel between 5-9 and that it is
traveling 100% in each direction.
TIP: Make sure your four primary channels are not reversed if you are
having trouble assigning a SAFE Select switch.
Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. The model must be powered up and bound to the transmitter in AS3X mode, with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power-up. AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the first time after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft movement if the aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
-
Verify the trims and sub-trims on your transmitter are zero
-
Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
NOTICE: Be aware of the pushrod bottoming out in the ball linkage. Do not thread the pushrod too far into the ball link or the pushrod will damage the ball link and protrude into the area needed for the control ball. -
Center the rudder with the bottom of the vertical stabilizer. If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length between the servo arm and the control horn until the rudder is straight.
-
Center the ailerons by aligning the outboard end of the aileron with the trailing edge of the wing. Adjust the linkage length as in step 3 as necessary.
-
Center the elevators with the inside portion of the horizontal stabilizer trailing edge. Adjust the linkage length as in step 3 as necessary.
-
Center the flaps by aligning the inboard end of the flaps with the wing fillet of the fuselage. Adjust the linkage length as in step 3 as necessary.
Control Surface Direction
Switch on the transmitter and connect the battery. Use the transmitter to
operate the aileron, elevator, and rudder controls. View the aircraft from the
rear when checking the control directions.
Ailerons
-
Move the aileron stick to the left. The right aileron should move down and the left aileron up, which will cause the aircraft to bank left.
-
Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the left aileron down, which will cause the aircraft to bank right.
Elevators -
Pull the elevator stick back. The elevators should move up, which will cause the aircraft to pitch up.
-
Push the elevator stick forward. The elevators should move down, which will cause the aircraft to pitch down.
Rudder -
Move the rudder stick to the left. The rudder and the nose wheel should move to the left, which will cause the aircraft to yaw left.
-
Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder and the nose wheel should move to the right, which will cause the aircraft to yaw right.
Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings
The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and
servo arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.
NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the
AR637TA gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR637TA
manual for adjustment of gain values.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired
control response. See the table to the right.
Dual Rates and Control Throws
Program your transmitter to set the rates and control throws based on your
experience level. These values have been tested and are a good starting point
to achieve a successful first flight.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the values for the desired control
response.
| Low Rate| High Rate
---|---|---
Aileron| 11mm (7/16″)
11mm (7/16″)| 16mm (5/8″)
16mm (5/8″)
Elevator| 10mm (3/8″)

14mm (9/16″)
Rudder| 19mm (3/4″)| 25mm (1″)
AS3X Control Response Test (BNF Basic)
This test ensures that the AS3X control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test.
-
Raise the throttle to any setting above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair, and loose clothing away from the fan intake, as these items could become entangled. -
Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.
Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is
normal.
AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.
In-Flight Trimming (BNF Basic)
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight. Make small trim
adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s
flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This
allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X
performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.
Flying Tips and Repairs
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
Getting Started
Before you fly, range checks the radio system. Refer to your specific
transmitter instruction manual for range test information. When you first
connect the battery to the airplane AS3X will not be active. After advancing
the throttle past 25% the first time, the AS3X system will be active and it is
normal to see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. For your first
flights set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3.5 minutes. Adjust your
timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model.
Takeoff
Face the aircraft into the wind for takeoff. Set your transmitter to low
rates, set the flaps to the take-off position, and gradually increase to full
throttle. Steer on the ground with the rudder as necessary to keep the
aircraft rolling straight. Be aware the nose wheel will become more sensitive
as speed increases. Leave the elevator at neutral and allow the aircraft to
accelerate up to speed on the ground, then pull up gently on the elevator to
rotate for takeoff. When airborne, climb to a comfortable altitude, retract
the landing gear, and raise the flaps to normal position.
Flying
For your first flight climb to a moderate altitude and get comfortable with
the aircraft while the battery is fresh. Get a feel for the aircraft’s low-
speed performance at a safe altitude (approximately 100 feet or more) before
being required to make your first landing attempt. Land the aircraft when the
timer expires. If at any time the motor power reduces, land the aircraft
immediately to recharge the flight battery. See the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
section for more details on maximizing battery health and run time.
Landing
Plan to land the aircraft into the wind when possible. Fly downwind, set the
flaps to the take-off flap position, and turn into the wind to begin the
approach. Extend the landing gear, lower the throttle. During the approach and
descent, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. The
attitude (angle of the aircraft relative to the horizon) should remain
consistent and slightly nose-high during the descent. With the angle of attack
maintained during the descent, the speed and descent rate is mostly controlled
with small throttle changes. Once confirmed, you can make the runway set the
flaps to the landing position, and stay in the throttle to maintain speed and
control during descent until the aircraft is ready to flare. As the airplane
descends into the ground effect, fully lower the throttle, pull the nose up
more to bleed off airspeed (flare), and the aircraft will settle on its
wheels.
If landing on grass, it is best to hold full up elevator after touchdown and
when taxiing to prevent the nose from digging in. Once on the ground, avoid
sharp turns until the plane has slowed enough to prevent scraping the
wingtips.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully.
Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as
damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver is secure in the
fuselage.
If you replace the receiver, install the new receiver in the same orientation
as the original receiver or damage may result.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct
sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the
aircraft.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a
charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low
Voltage Cutoff (LVC).
Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to
the motor. Power to the motor reduces, showing that some battery power is
reserved for flight control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before
storage.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by
using a LiPo Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Oscillation
For most flight maneuvers the aircraft should fly smoothly and normally, but
it is possible in some flight conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft
rocks back and forth on one axis). If oscillation occurs, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Repairs
Thanks to the EPO foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be
made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When
parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item
number. For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list
at the end of this manual.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage the paint. DO
NOT handle the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.
SAFE Select Flying Tips
When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any
time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or
elevator control will cause the airplane to the bank, climb, or dive and the
amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies.
Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined pitch and
roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.
When flying with SAFE Select it is normal to hold the control stick deflected
with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with
SAFE Select avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct
for minor deviations. With SAFE Select, holding deliberate control inputs will
command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle and the model will make all
corrections to maintain that flight attitude.
Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE
Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching
into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive
for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.
Differences between SAFE Select and AS3X modes
This section is generally accurate but does not take into account flight
speed, battery charge status, and many other limiting factors.
-
In SAFE Select mode the aircraft will self-level when the control stick is neutralized.
In AS3X mode the aircraft will continue to fly at its present attitude when the control stick is neutralized. -
In SAFE Select mode holding a small amount of control will result in the model banking or pitching to a moderate angle and remaining at that angle as long as the control stick doesn’t move.
In AS3X mode holding a small amount of control will result in the model continuing to pitch or roll at a slow rate as long as the control stick doesn’t move. -
In SAFE Select mode holding full control will result in the airplane banking or pitching to the predetermined limits and the aircraft will keep flying at that attitude as long as the control stick is fully deflected.
In AS3X mode holding full control will result in the aircraft pitching or rolling at a high rate, and it will continue to rapidly change attitude as long as the control stick is fully deflected.

AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code
Effective January 1, 2018
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight
within the visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed
the limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport,
recreation, education, and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted
in accordance with this safety code and related AMA guidelines, any additional
rules specific to the flying site, as well as all applicable laws and
regulations.
As an AMA member I agree:
-
I will not fly a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.
-
I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human-carrying aircraft using AMA’s See and Avoid Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.
-
I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the influence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.
-
I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
-
I will fly Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in compliance with AMA’s safety programming.
-
I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to me. When using an advanced flight system, such as an autopilot, or flying First-Person View (FPV), I will comply with AMA’s
Advanced Flight System programming. -
I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel if certified through AMA’s Large Model Airplane Program.
-
I will only fly a turbine-powered model aircraft in compliance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.
-
I will not fly a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s) located at the Flightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.
-
I will use an established safety line to separate all model aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
