Revolutionary SAFE®(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and
software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a
controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely.
Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a
greater degree of security and flight control that always feels crisp and responsive.
SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the flip of a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use
and optimized to offer the best possible flight experience.
