Panic Recovery; Throttle Hold - Horizon Hobby BLADE 330S Bedienungsanleitung

Technology
Revolutionary SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innova-
®
tive combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft
to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to
create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region
of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely. Far beyond stability, this level
of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her
skills with a greater degree of security and flight control that always feels crisp
and responsive.
Flight Mode and Rate Selection
In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited. When the cyclic stick is released the
model will return to level.
In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is
released the model will not return to level. This mode is great for learning forward
flight and basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while flying in any mode, activate the panic function and
move the control sticks to their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately
return the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufficient height
with no obstacles in its path. Return the collective stick to 50% and deactivate the
Panic Recovery function to return to the current flight mode.

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You maintain pitch
and direction control.
The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time
you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the flip of a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn't require any work to enjoy. Every
aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible
flight experience.
In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is released the
model will not return to level. This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as station-
ary flips and tic tocs.
Change rates in any mode by moving the two-position dual rate switch.
• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier to fly model.
Beginners should use low rate for initial flights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by intermediate
and experience pilots.
NOTICE: Before deactivating Panic Recovery , make sure the collective stick has
been returned to the 50% position. Once the Panic Recovery has been deacti-
vated, full negative collective becomes available, which could cause the 330 S
Smart to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the confidence to continue to
improve their flight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other transmitter controls to
neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude, the negative collective is
reduced to prevent the user from pushing the model into the ground.
Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control, in
danger of crashing, or both.
