Upcoming Events

This month’s meeting has a special presentation: “Understanding and Programming Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Technology”, by Brian Blois.

Spektrum’s “AS3X” and “SAFE” receiver features and programming capabilities represent a quantum leap in RC technology, particularly as they pertain to beginners and training programs. These features and capabilities make is possible for a person, with virtually no RC experience, to have instant success flying an RC plane. Brian Blois is a factory representative and sponsored pilot of Horizon Hobby. Brian will be explaining the details and differences between “AS3X” and “SAFE”, the advantages and benefits of utilizing these Rx features, and answer questions about programming, enabling/disabling, etc. We also hope to have a series of “hands-on” seminars at the field, with Brian, later in the spring.
