Vertical Stabilizer Installation

The left and right vertical stabilizers are differentiated by the location of the rudder

servos and pushrods. When the stabilizers are installed, the servo and pushrod face

toward the centerline of the fuselage.

1. Connect the rudder servo to the servo lead located in the fuselage vertical

stabilizer pocket.

2. Tuck the servo lead and connector back into the pocket and slide the vertical

stabilizer into place.

3. Secure the vertical stabilizer with two M3x16mm counter sunk machine

screws (2mm hex driver required).

4. Repeat this process for the second vertical stabilizer.

SAFE

Select Technology (BNF Basic)

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology which can

offer an extra level of protection in ﬂ ight. Use the following instructions to make the

SAFE Select system active and assign it to a switch. When enabled, SAFE Select

prevents the airplane from banking or pitching past predetermined limits, and

automatic self-leveling keeps the airplane ﬂ ying in a straight and level attitude when

the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks are at neutral.

SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. When the airplane is

bound with SAFE Select enabled, a switch can be assigned to toggle between SAFE

Select mode and AS3X mode. AS3X

technology remains active with no banking

limits or self leveling any time SAFE Select is disabled or OFF.

SAFE Select can be conﬁ gured three ways;

• SAFE Select Off: Always in AS3X mode

• SAFE Select On with no switch assigned: Always in SAFE Select mode

• SAFE Select On with a switch assigned: Switch toggles between SAFE Select

mode and AS3X mode
