SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Assisted Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashing while likewise providing several flight modes to provide more control and abilities as your abilities development:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch and bank angle limits to prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the aircraft automatically returns to level flight on its own allowing you to unwind and enjoy just 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it much easier to remove and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more liberty in pitch and bank, but still avoids considerable over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight on its own. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb up and descend faster as your abilities advance. Likewise, Novice Mode automatically activates and returns the aircraft to level flight when it comes down below approximately 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are released.

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 triggered by switching to Novice Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, just switch to Novice Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the aircraft to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

Quickly Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With fast and simple setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can add next-level autonomous guidance functions that make it even much easier to learn to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by just holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a stabilized approach to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to avoid obstacles or to change the approach while letting the system do the rest to execute a safe landing. As your abilities development and you acquire more self-confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, ultimately finding out to land without any help from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This very practical SAFE Plus-exclusive function essentially enables you to "stop briefly" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the fast press of a button, the aircraft will automatically return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle up until the command is cancelled with another fast press of the button. It's a terrific method to safely hand the controls off to a buddy or to regain visual contact if you ever forget the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to mistakenly let an RC aircraft fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, fret no more. It creates an unnoticeable boundary the aircraft won't fly past. When the aircraft reaches this boundary, it will automatically reverse and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control once again.
