Optional Flaps
Functional flaps are an option for enhanced sluggish speed handling and even much shorter launches and landings. This function needs a 7+ channel computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (offered independently).
 





 

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and offers automatic "flare" control to help inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by reducing or completely eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and offers optimum efficiency when flying over/landing in turf).

 





SAFE technology
 

Discover to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) innovation avoids over-control and crashing while likewise using several flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your skills development:

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch and bank angle limits to avoid over-control that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the airplane instantly returns to level flight by itself enabling you to unwind and enjoy simply 'guiding' the airplane through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it much easier to take off and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank, but still avoids considerable over-control and the airplane does not go back to level flight by itself. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend much faster as your skills advance. Also, Beginner Mode instantly triggers and returns the airplane to level flight when it descends below around 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 consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be triggered by changing to Beginner Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

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

SAFE innovation
 

Quickly Update to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With fast and easy installation of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can add next-level autonomous assistance features that make it even much easier to learn to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the airplane on a supported method to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even supply some directional assistance to avoid obstacles or to change the method while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your skills development and you acquire more self-confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, ultimately discovering to land with no help from the automated system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This extremely helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive function basically allows you to "pause" the flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the fast press of a button, the airplane will instantly 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 terrific way to securely hand the controls off to a good friend or to gain back visual contact if you ever lose sight of the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to inadvertently let an RC airplane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It creates an undetectable limit the airplane will not fly past. When the airplane reaches this limit, it will instantly reverse and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
