SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Innovation
If this is your very first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) innovation prevents over-control and crashing while likewise providing numerous flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your abilities progress:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the plane has pitch and bank angle limits to prevent over-control that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the plane immediately returns to level flight on its own allowing you to unwind and take pleasure in simply 'steering' the plane through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it easier to take off and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents significant over-control and the plane does not go back to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb up and come down faster as your abilities advance. Likewise, Novice Mode immediately activates and returns the plane to level flight when it comes down below roughly 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are launched.

Intermediate Mode
 

Knowledgeable Mode

In Knowledgeable Mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be activated by changing to Novice Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, merely change to Novice Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE innovation will immediately return the plane to level flight.

SAFE innovation
 

Quickly Update to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Innovation
With quick and simple setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can include next-level self-governing guidance features that make it even easier to discover to fly. With SAFE Plus included you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the plane on a stabilized approach to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even offer some directional guidance to avoid barriers or to adjust the approach while letting the system do the rest to execute a safe landing. As your abilities progress and you acquire more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, eventually finding out to land without any support from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really valuable SAFE Plus-exclusive function essentially allows you to "stop briefly" the flight by putting the plane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the quick press of a button, the plane will immediately go back to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle up until the command is cancelled with another quick press of the button. It's a fantastic method to securely hand the controls off to a pal or to gain back visual contact if you ever forget the model.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to mistakenly let an RC plane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, fret no more. It creates an unnoticeable border the plane will not fly past. When the plane reaches this border, it will immediately reverse and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
