So, an RC plane or RC heli comes with SAFE Technology. That all sounds good, but what exactly is SAFE Technology? SAFE is an abbreviation of Sensor-Assisted Flight Envelope and it is designed to improve the flight control of your model. SAFE Technology has been custom-tuned to suit fixed and rotary wing aircraft. This new technology incorporates multi-axis sensors and software, making the plane or heli easier to fly.
Models with SAFE technology have a range of progressive performance options, so you can easily adjust the degree of security and flight control. For example, if you are a beginner, you can increase the strength of the SAFE technology so that you have an easier learning experience. If your skills are more advanced, you can lower the degree of the SAFE technology, while still enjoying the outstanding control and protection benefits it offers.
Some examples of how SAFE Technology can help you include:
- Self-levelling and stabilising
- Banking and pitch limiting
- "Panic" features to return a model to level flight
