Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Benefit

They come out of package with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, complete any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic design is geared up with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X (Synthetic Stabilization–3-aXis) innovation that works behind the scenes to smooth out the impacts of wind and turbulence. The outcome is an increased sense of stability and accuracy that makes you feel like you're flying a much bigger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first design of its type, or you want an additional margin of security while familiarizing yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection innovation developed into the receiver. No shows is needed. Just alter the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope restricts keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They likewise avoid extreme climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft quickly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It's likewise helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Change Assignment—No Programs Required
The basic procedure for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off doesn't require any shows and takes just a couple of seconds.

If you do not want to allow the SAFE Select functions, just bind the receiver generally and it will operate like a basic AS3X receiver.
