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 bind process. When the airplane is
bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between SAFE
Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X
limits or self leveling any time SAFE Select is disabled or OFF.

Preflight

1. Remove and inspect contents.
2. Read this instruction manual thoroughly.
3. Charge the flight battery.
4. Setup Transmitter using transmitter setup chart.
5. Fully assemble the airplane.
6. Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged).
7. Check the Center of Gravity (CG).
8. Bind the aircraft to your transmitter.

Transmitter Setup

WARNING: If your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle cut feature.
Always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.
WARNING: Never assign Aux 2 to SAFE Select during transmitter setup
with any model transmitter. If SAFE Select is assigned to Aux 2, the
throttle channel/motor will reverse in flight once SAFE is enabled. Motor
reversing is assigned to Aux 2/channel 7 by default in the Smart ESC.
IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
IMPORTANT: The included receiver has been programmed specifically for
operation in this aircraft.
Dual Rates
Low rate is recommended for the initial flights.
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.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
Transmitter Telemetry Setup
If the transmitter that you intend to use with this aircraft is not displaying
telemetry data, visit www.SpektrumRC.com and update your firmware. With the
latest firmware installed on your transmitter the telemetry option should now be
functional on your transmitter.
†
Some of the terminology and function locations used in the
may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare™ radios. The names given in
iX12 and iX20
parentheses correspond to the
transmitter manual for specific information about programming your transmitter.
For DX6e, DX6, NX6 and DX7 setups, you can combine SAFE Select on channel 5/gear with the
‡
light controller (the light mode will change when you switch between SAFE Select on/off). If you
use a 2-position switch (such as A) you'll get 2 light modes. If you use a 3-position switch (such
as B, as recommended) you'll get 3 light modes.

11. Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft.
12. Adjust flight controls and transmitter.
13. Perform a radio system Range Test.
14. Find a safe open area to fly.
15. Plan flight for flying field conditions.
