En funcionament
The E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m is equipped with advanced technologies to enhance your flying experience. This section covers basic operation and key features.
Comprovacions prèvies al vol
- Ensure your transmitter battery is fully charged.
- Confirm the flight battery is fully charged and properly installed.
- Check all control surfaces for free movement and correct response.
- Inspect the propeller for any damage.
- Verify that AS3X and SAFE Select modes are functioning as expected.
AS3X Technology
AS3X (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) technology works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, providing a locked-in feel that makes the aircraft fly like a much larger, expertly tuned model. This system is always active and requires no input from the pilot during flight.
SAFE Select Technology
SAFE Select offers optional-use flight envelope protection, making the Carbon-Z Cub SS easier to fly for intermediate pilots. It provides:
- Pitch and Bank Angle Limits: Prevents the aircraft from over-banking or over-pitching.
- Automatic Self-Leveling: Returns the aircraft to level flight when the control sticks are released.
- Panic Recovery: Instantly returns the aircraft to level flight with the press of a button.
Refer to the full product manual for instructions on how to activate and configure SAFE Select with your Spektrum transmitter.
