Flying an RC airplane can be challenging, especially for new pilots. Spektrum’s SAFE Select technology is designed to make flying easier by helping the aircraft stay stable and level.

Before flying, the transmitter must be connected, or bound, to the receiver inside the aircraft. SAFE Select can be turned on or off during this binding process.

Steps to Bind with SAFE Select

1. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Make sure the throttle is all the way down and the other controls are in their normal positions.
3. Insert the bind plug into the receiver.
4. Connect the aircraft battery.
5. Wait for the receiver light to start flashing.
6. Remove the bind plug before binding if you want to enable SAFE Select.
7. Turn on the transmitter while holding the bind button or following the transmitter’s binding procedure.
8. Wait until the receiver light becomes solid. This means the transmitter and receiver are connected.
9. Check that the controls are working correctly before flying.

Steps to Bind Without SAFE Select

1. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Insert the bind plug into the receiver.
3. Connect the aircraft battery.
4. Wait for the receiver light to flash.
5. Bind the transmitter to the receiver while the bind plug is still connected.
6. Wait until the receiver light becomes solid.
7. Remove the bind plug after the binding process is complete.
8. Test the controls before flying.

SAFE Select can be useful because it gives pilots extra assistance while flying. Understanding the correct binding procedure helps make sure the aircraft is set up properly and ready for a safe flight.

Overall, the process is simple, but following the steps in the correct order is important. Pilots should also check the instruction manual for their specific aircraft and transmitter before flying.
