Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the airquickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the boxwith the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bindthe receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly and fly!
This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuringAS3X® (Artificial Stabilization?C3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth outthe effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes itfeel like you’re flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.
If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizingyourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelopeprotection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required.
With SAFE Select enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
- These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also preventexcessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
- The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in thecenter position. It’s also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches andlandings.
Easy Switch Assignment-No Complex Programming Required
- The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and offdoesn’t require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds. For UMX models like thisone, SAFE Select is automatically assigned to channel 5 (Gear) so you can turn it on and offwith any switch assigned to that channel (switch A by default on most Spektrum computertransmitters).
