Exclusive Spektrum Technologies 

The BNF Basic version of the E-flite® Habu SS 50mm EDF includes exclusive Spektrum SAFE Select and AS3X technologies. Working behind the scenes with hundreds of minor adjustments to smooth out the effects of turbulence and wind AS3X helps the pilot feel locked in and also the Habu feel like a much larger aircraft.

These can be switched on and off as you need or as your confidence grows with the simple flick of a switch. If you feel like you don’t need SAFE Select just bind your receiver normally and AS3X will just work with you in the background.
