Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Easier Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is simple to install and offers automated "flare" control to assist unskilled pilots "grease" landings by minimizing or completely eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and offers optimal performance when flying over/landing in grass).

 





SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Innovation
If this is your very first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashing while likewise using several flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your skills progress:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch and bank angle limitations to avoid over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the aircraft immediately goes back to level flight on its own allowing you to relax and delight in simply '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 allows more flexibility in pitch and bank, however still avoids substantial over-control and the aircraft does not go back to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and come down quicker as your skills advance. Likewise, Novice Mode immediately triggers 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 limitations 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 aircraft in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, merely change to Novice Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

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

AutoLand

Activated by merely holding down a button, the innovative AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a supported method to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional assistance to prevent barriers or to change the method while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your skills progress and you acquire more self-confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, eventually learning to land without any support from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive feature essentially allows you to "pause" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the fast press of a button, the aircraft will immediately go back to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle until the command is cancelled with another fast press of the button. It's a great way to securely hand the controls off to a friend or to gain back visual contact if you ever forget the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to accidentally let an RC aircraft fly too far away, however with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It creates an invisible border the aircraft won't fly past. When the aircraft 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.
