SAFE technology
 

Discover to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Innovation
If this is your first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) innovation avoids over-control and crashing while likewise offering multiple flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your abilities progress:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft 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 aircraft immediately goes back to level flight by itself allowing you to unwind and delight in 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 freedom in pitch and bank, but still avoids considerable over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight by itself. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb up and descend quicker as your abilities advance. Likewise, Newbie 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 launched.

Intermediate Mode
 

Skilled Mode

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

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

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

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE innovation
 

Quickly Update to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Innovation
With quick and easy setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can add next-level autonomous assistance functions that make it even much easier to discover to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a supported approach to arrive at its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional assistance to prevent obstacles or to change the approach while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your abilities progress and you get more self-confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, ultimately learning to land without any help from the automated system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This extremely useful SAFE Plus-exclusive function essentially enables you to "pause" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the quick press of a button, the aircraft will immediately 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 terrific method to securely hand the controls off to a buddy or to gain back visual contact if you ever forget the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to unintentionally let an RC aircraft fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, stress no more. It produces an undetectable limit the aircraft won't fly past. When the aircraft reaches this limit, it will immediately turn around and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
