SAFE® Select Technology (BNF Basic)

The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter
programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from
over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In fact, with the aileron, elevator
and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.
Expand the advantage of what SAFE® Select technology offers by assigning it to a switch. No transmitter programming is required and you’ll be able to turn
the system ON and OFF with the flip of a switch. For example, turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs to counter the torque of the propeller. Turn it OFF in flight for
unrestricted aerobatic performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select ON for landings. As you drop the flaps,
SAFE Select reduces your workload by compensating for pitch changes automatically, regardless of throttle position. It will help keep the correct pitch attitude and
wings level during the final approach. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select can make your flights a great experience.
When the normal bind process is followed, the SAFE Select system is disabled, leaving specially tuned AS3X® technology in place to deliver a pure, unrestricted
flight experience.

Lightweight and Heavy Stabilizer Joiners
The Timber X includes two stabilizer joiners; a lightweight composite joiner, and a heavier steel joiner. For tame flying and maximum stability in general flight use
the lightweight joiner to keep the CG at the front of the recommended CG range. For maximum performance and stability in high alpha maneuvers, use the steel
joiner to shift the CG to the rear of the recommended CG range.
Horizontal Tail Installation
1. Slide the horizontal stabilizer joiner (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage.
2. Install the two piece (left and right) horizontal stabilizer as shown. Ensure the
control horn faces down.
3. Secure the horizontal stabilizer pieces in place using the two included 3 x 12 mm

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
The E-flite® 2200mAh 14.4V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLM22004S30) is
recommended. The EFL22003S30 battery may also be used. For maximum
performance with 3 cells, a 13X6.5 electric propeller may be utilized. Refer to the
Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than
those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and
weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model
balances at the recommended CG before flying. B
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. For added security, apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and loop
tape (A) to the bottom of your battery, and the hook side to the battery tray.
3. Press the latch button (B) and remove the battery hatch.
4. Install the fully charged battery (C) in the center of the battery compartmant
as shown. Secure using the hook and loop straps (D).
5. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 6 of the binding
instructions for more information).
• An LED will light on the receiver when it is initialized
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
