Exclusive AS3X and SAFE select technologies

ThisBind-N-Fly basicmodel is equipped with a factory-fitted and tuned Spektrum 2.4ghz DSMX receiver that features the patented and proved AS3X technology. The AS3X (Artificial Stabilization 3-axis) system is constantly working behind the scenes to dampen the effects of rough wind and turbulence to give the pilot a sense of accuracy and stability normally associated with a much larger model. Also included in the BNF version is the famous SAFE Select technology, this allows another level of protection for the pilot and ultimately gives you that extra security when trying to perform new manoeuvres.

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

These will keep the aircraft from excessive rolling and climbing / Descending meaning that the more beginner pilots are able to feel out the characteristics of this aircraft and still have the safety net of the bank limits.

Automatic Self-Levelling

The aircraft instantly returns to a wing's level situation when the sticks are released, this is super helpful during take-off and landings.

Easy switch assignmentxno programming required

The simple process for assigning a switch on the transmitter to turn on/off the SAFE functionality. This requires no extra programming and takes only a few seconds to complete.
