The optional float set (offered individually) takes simply a couple of minutes to install and all the needed hardware is consisted of with the airplane and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
 

Optional Flaps

Optional Flaps
Functional flaps are an option for enhanced sluggish speed handling and even shorter launches 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 Easier Landings

Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Easier Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) is simple to install and offers automated "flare" control to assist unskilled pilots "grease" landings by reducing or entirely eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and offers maximum performance when flying over/landing in lawn).

 





SAFE technology
 

Discover to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) innovation avoids over-control and crashing while also using several flight modes to provide more control and abilities as your abilities development:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the plane has pitch and bank angle limitations to prevent over-control that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the plane automatically returns to level flight by itself enabling you to unwind and take pleasure in simply 'guiding' the plane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it 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 plane does not return to level flight by itself. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb up and come down much faster as your abilities advance. Also, Novice Mode automatically triggers and returns the plane to level flight when it descends listed 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 complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Healing can be triggered by changing to Novice Mode and launching the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply switch to Novice Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE innovation will automatically return the plane to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE innovation
 

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

AutoLand

Activated by simply holding down a button, the sophisticated AutoLand function puts the plane on a supported technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even supply some directional assistance to avoid obstacles or to change the technique while letting the system do the rest to perform a safe landing. As your abilities development and you get more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, eventually discovering to land without any support from the automated system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive function basically enables you to "pause" the flight by putting the plane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the plane will automatically return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle till the command is cancelled with another quick press of the button. It's a great method to securely hand the controls off to a good friend or to regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to mistakenly let an RC plane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It creates an undetectable limit the plane will not fly past. When the plane reaches this limit, it will automatically turn around and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control once again.
