One thing that I do want to say up front is that SAFE is a fantastic tool which really makes getting into RC more accessible for sure, but it should not be viewed as a replacement for some good old fashioned flight training. So when flying when the throttle command is in the lower 1/3 range, a slight descent is commanded, the middle 1/3 will fly straight and level, or the top 1/3 will command a slight climb. In all cases, when SAFE is on, there’s a pitch command that is tied to the throttle position. SAFE+ simply means the same as SAFE, but with the addition of GPS functionality.

These have beginner modes which auto coordinate turns, intermediate which is similar to SAFE Select, and advanced which essentially turns it all off.

That’s where the SAFE and SAFE+ technologies come in which are intended more for those who are learning. It’s intended assist intermediate flyers, so it doesn’t auto coordinate the airplane in a turn per say like some of the other versions. There are multiple levels of the technology which includes SAFE Select which is what is in the Bind and Fly P-47 and Cessna that basically pitch and roll limits the airplane to keep the aircraft from going inverted but still maintains a good level of controllability. First of all, what is SAFE? What is it all about? SAFE is a feature that can be turned on that, when flying your aircraft, is intended to keep pilots from getting the airplane into an attitude that could spell trouble.
