Optional Flaps
Practical flaps are an option for enhanced slow speed handling and even shorter takeoffs and landings. This function needs a 7+ channel computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (offered individually).
 





 

Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Smoother Landings

Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Smoother Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) is simple to install and supplies automatic "flare" control to assist unskilled pilots "grease" landings by minimizing or entirely eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and supplies optimum performance when flying over/landing in grass).

 





SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Innovation
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 multiple flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your skills progress:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch and bank angle limits to avoid over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the aircraft immediately goes back to level flight by itself enabling you to relax and delight in simply 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it much easier to take off and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode permits more flexibility in pitch and bank, however still avoids considerable over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight by itself. This permits you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend much faster as your skills advance. Likewise, Newbie Mode immediately activates and returns the aircraft to level flight when it comes down below around 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 including loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be triggered by changing to Newbie Mode and launching the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, merely switch to Newbie Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

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

AutoLand

Activated by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a supported method to land on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional assistance to avoid barriers or to adjust the method while letting the system do the rest to perform a safe landing. As your skills progress and you acquire more confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, ultimately learning to land with no support from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive function basically permits 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 immediately return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle till the command is cancelled with another fast press of the button. It's an excellent way to securely hand the controls off to a friend or to regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the model.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to mistakenly let an RC aircraft fly too far, however with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It creates an invisible boundary the aircraft will not fly past. When the aircraft reaches this boundary, it will immediately reverse and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control again.
