Flying Tips

  • Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE™) technology is designed as flight assistance, not an autopilot. The pilot is always in control and required to fly the aircraft at all times.
  • Start in Beginner mode (SAFE switch position 0). As you learn and become more confident, change modes to advance your flying skills.
  • Always keep your aircraft in plain sight and upwind from you.
  • Do not attempt your first turn at low altitude. Higher altitudes allow for greater possibility of correction.
    • Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft.
  • Do not fly in winds greater than 8-10 mph. If flying in winds 5-10mph and in beginner Mode (SAFE positon 0), you will likely need to fly in High Rates.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the receiver and motors.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Post Flight

NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.

Adjusting Trim in Flight

Move the trim sliders for the controls as they are assigned on your transmitter. Familiarize yourself with your transmitter's controls and the aircraft's response before flying by performing the recommended Control Direction Test.

Elevator trim:

Trim the elevator at 50%-60% throttle. When the elevator is trimmed correctly, your aircraft will fly level at half throttle, climb steadily above half throttle and descend below half throttle.

- If the aircraft's nose drifts up or down while the elevator stick is at neutral (centered) position, move the elevator trim slider by one or two "click" increments in the SAME direction as the drift.

Aileron trim:

When trimmed correctly, your aircraft flies with wings level.

- If the aircraft drifts left or right when the aileron stick is at neutral (centered) position, move the aileron trim slider by one or two "click" increments OPPOSITE the direction of roll.

If you must use more than 8 "clicks" on a trim slider to make the aircraft fly straight and level, land and adjust a control surface as described below.

Manually Adjusting Trim

Perform manual adjustment of trim before increasing the throttle above 25% or SAFE will move the control surfaces when the aircraft is moved.

Return any trim setting on the transmitter to neutral by pushing the trim slider to the middle position, then adjusting the clevis on that control surface to position it the same as it was with the trim slider offset.

  1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.
  2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the pushrod.
  3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the tube towards the horn to secure the clevis.
