Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology

SAFE technology is a revolutionary ﬂight training system designed to

give you a stable platform for safely developing your ﬂying skills. This is

not an autopilot or self-guiding robot. The sensors and software in this

system help you ﬂy the aircraft where you want to go while decreasing the

risk of an out-of-control crash. You can progress through the Beginner,

Intermediate and Experienced ﬂight modes as your skills increase, all with

the conﬁdence of an optional Panic recovery mode. At any time during a

ﬂight you can switch between the 3 ﬂight modes or use Panic recovery to

get your aircraft to a safe ﬂying attitude.

SAFE Flight Modes

Beginner Mode

• Envelope limit: Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and

down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne

• Self-leveling: when the pitch and roll controls are returned to neutral,

the aircraft returns to level ﬂight

• Stability assisted takeoff and landing

• Throttle based climb and descent

Intermediate Mode

• Natural Flight Experience: In normal training ﬂight conditions, the pilot

experiences natural AS3X

ﬂight for smooth handling and outstanding

precision

• Large Flight Envelope: The pilot is only prevented from entering extreme

ﬂight conditions outside the training ﬂight envelope

Experienced Mode

• Natural Flight Experience: The pilot experiences natural AS3X ﬂight for

smooth handling and outstanding precision

• Unlimited Flight Envelope: No limit on Pitch and Roll angles (airframe limited)

Panic Recovery

• Immediate recovery to a safe ﬂying attitude

• Return all transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery

• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the conﬁdence to

continue to improve their ﬂight skills

AS3X

technology

Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with

the kind of performance experts appreciate. Now the exclusive Artiﬁcial

Stability 3 axis (AS3X) system helps take performance expectations in

aircraft a quantum leap higher. Based on the successful use of MEMS

sensor technology within the AS3X Stabilization System essential to Blade

ultra micro ﬂybarless helicopters, the speciﬁcally tuned AS3X System for

airplanes helps invisibly correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls when

encountered. Furthermore, the outstanding control agility delivers an ultra

smooth, locked-in feel that obeys your every command with performance

that’s natural feeling. It’s so gratifying, in fact, that it’s as though you’re

the RC pilot of an expertly tuned, giant-scale aircraft. AS3X will change the

way you’ll want to ﬂy now and in the future. To see what we mean, go to

RollPitch

1. Pilot loses control of the aircraft

in any ﬂight mode.

2. Pilot pulls and holds the Panic

Recovery switch and returns all

other controls to their neutral

position. The aircraft will roll

wings level and pull out of a

dive...

3. ...once the aircraft is ﬂying

straight and level, the pilot

releases the Panic Recovery

switch and continues a gentle

climb to a safe altitude.

IMPORTANT: Aircraft will recover to a safer attitude even if sticks are held.

Some control input is still used with panic activated.
