SAFE technology
 

Discover to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashing while likewise using numerous flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your skills progress:

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the plane has pitch and bank angle limitations to prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the plane automatically goes back to level flight on its own permitting you to unwind and delight 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 liberty in pitch and bank, however still avoids substantial over-control and the plane does not return to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance. Also, Beginner Mode automatically activates and returns the plane to level flight when it comes down below roughly 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are released.

Intermediate Mode
 

Experienced Mode

In Experienced Mode there are no pitch or bank angle limitations so you have total control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and carry out aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Healing can be activated by switching to Beginner Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply change to Beginner Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the plane to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

Easily Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With quick and easy installation of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can include next-level autonomous guidance features that make it even easier to discover to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by simply holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the plane on a supported technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even offer some directional guidance to prevent barriers or to adjust the technique while letting the system do the rest to perform a safe landing. As your skills progress and you acquire more self-confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, ultimately learning to land without any assistance from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This extremely valuable SAFE Plus-exclusive feature 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 automatically return 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 buddy or to regain visual contact if you ever forget the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to mistakenly let an RC plane fly too far, however with Virtual Fence, fret no more. It produces an unnoticeable limit the plane won't fly past.
