Overview
Binding the receiver to your own transmitter, then flying a brushless electric Turbo Timber with optional leading edge slats. Motor, servos and receiver with ESC are installed, and AS3X with SAFE handles stabilization.
Pilots already owning Spektrum-compatible gear get a model with optional slats for slow flight.
Who it's for
An RC hobbyist who has a transmitter and battery pack can bind and fly straight away. A beginner with no radio should pick a full ready-to-fly set, since this version leaves out every piece of radio gear.
Pros and cons
- AS3X and SAFE stabilization
- Brushless outrunner motor installed
- Optional leading edge slats included
- Linear servos installed
- Transmitter not included
- Battery and charger not included
- Battery type only described as nonstandard
- Binding needs compatible radio
Performance notes
The AS3X system works through the installed receiver and servos to steady the airplane, and SAFE is the added protection layer for newer pilots. The optional slats change how the wing behaves at slow speed, so landings can be shorter when they are fitted.
