SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashing while likewise offering numerous flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your abilities progress:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft 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 aircraft automatically goes back to level flight by itself enabling you to unwind and delight in simply 'guiding' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it easier to remove and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode permits more liberty in pitch and bank, but still avoids substantial over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight by itself. This permits you to make tighter turns and to climb up and come down quicker as your abilities advance. Likewise, Newbie Mode automatically activates and returns the aircraft to level flight when it descends listed below around 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are released.

Intermediate Mode
 

Skilled Mode

In Skilled 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 switching to Newbie Mode and launching 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 technology will automatically return the aircraft to level flight.

Panic Recovery

AutoLand

Activated by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a supported technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even supply some directional assistance to prevent barriers or to change the technique while letting the system do the rest to perform 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 assistance from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really handy 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 quick press of a button, the aircraft will automatically return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle until the command is cancelled with another quick press of the button. It's a fantastic method to safely hand the controls off to a friend or to gain back visual contact if you ever lose sight of the model.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to inadvertently let an RC aircraft fly too far, but with Virtual Fence, stress no more. It creates an invisible limit the aircraft won't fly past.

Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
