Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Benefit
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make entering into the air quickly and with the very best control experience possible simpler than ever. 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 compatible transmitter, end up any last assembly, and fly!

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

If this is your first model of its type, or you desire an extra margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security innovation built into the receiver. No shows is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select made it possible for, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope limits keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

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

Easy Change Task—No Programming Required
The easy procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off doesn't require any shows and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you do not wish to allow the SAFE Select functions, simply bind the receiver generally and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.
