Technology
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.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited. When the
cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is not limited. When
the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to
level. This mode is great for learning forward flight and
basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while flying in any mode, activate
the panic function and move the control sticks to their
neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately return
the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at
a sufficient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the
collective stick to 50% and deactivate the Panic Recovery
Function to return to the current flight mode.
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.

In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the
cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level.
This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as stationary
flips and tic tocs.
Change rates in any mode by moving the two-position
dual rate switch.
• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier
to fly model. Beginners should use low rate for initial
flights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by
intermediate and experience pilots.
NOTICE: Before deactivating Panic Recovery ,
make sure the collective stick has been
returned to the 50% position. Once the Panic Recovery has
been deactivated, full negative collective becomes
available, which could cause the 150 S Smart to descend
rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the
confidence to continue to improve their flight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other
transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude,
the negative collective is reduced to prevent the user
from pushing the model into the ground.
