Easily Update to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology

Easily Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With quick and simple setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module (SPMA3173; sold individually), you can add next-level autonomous guidance features that make it even much easier to learn to fly. With SAFE Plus included, you get:

AutoLand
Activated by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the airplane on a stabilized technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to prevent barriers or to adjust the technique while letting the system do the rest to perform a safe landing. As your abilities progress and you gain more confidence, you can take over more control inputs, ultimately discovering to land without any assistance from the automated system.

Holding Pattern
This useful SAFE Plus-exclusive feature allows you to "pause" the flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the airplane will immediately return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle till the command is canceled with another quick press of the button. It's an excellent way to securely hand the controls off to a friend or regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the model.

Virtual Fence
It's simple to accidentally let an RC airplane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, stress no more! It produces an invisible boundary the airplane won't fly past. When the plane reaches this boundary, it will immediately reverse and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
