Exclusive Technologies
This BNF Basic version is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits plus automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, bind the receiver normally and only AS3X will be active.
