The Fail Safe is to first activate the Holding Pattern "The aircraft will return to the initialization point/location and begin to fl y a circular pattern at an altitude of approximately 65 ft (20m). " until it re-establishes radio connection.
"If radio connection is not regained after 30 seconds, the aircraft will land near the initialization point/location." So if I understand this correctly, anyone using the RTF Tx should not have any fly-away as the plane will return without radio signal (barring strong winds, obstacles & thermals). Interesting use of words "will land near the initialization point." I usually initialize the gyro either in the car, on a table under the tree or under a pavilion. Much testing will have to be done & reported on to confirm the terms used. Will it return to the point of gyro initialization or gyro activation. For now only the designer knows. Auto Land also uses the words "near your initialization point/location" The Manual has a picture of the landing strip when discussing "initialization point/location". Don't know of anyone that "initializes" their gyro on the center of the runway. Barring a HH representative chiming in on the forum with authoritative knowledge, maybe I'll wait to see how all this sorts out. |

here's a bunch of vids, it was recently upgraded to a version 2 that is less "involved" to set up (last vid in the post)... https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...57&postcount=1 EDIT nevermind, I see HH has an entire Champ S+ series on their YT channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/Horizon...roducts/videos |

The landing settings all kick in when you throttle up (to 90% as I recall). So, you can put the battery in anywhere where the plane can get a GPS lock (which is possible in my back room/'hanger') then you can take the plane somewhere else, hold it still and throttle up. Then you can take it somewhere else again and take off and it will have already set its autoland location to where you throttled up for the first time. This has interesting consequences if you test the motor in your house before stepping out to the 'runway'. Which is what I did. |

It's not even comparable to the SCS, though. 2S brushless UMX J-3 Cub, UMX Carbon Cub would be a better comparison in terms of weight vs. power train. Throw in size as well if you remove the UMX CC from the comparison.

The aircraft will instantly respond and begin an upwind landing approach to return to the initialization point/location. The aircraft will land into the wind near your initialization point/location and come to a complete stop. |

I don't know and I would believe whatever I am authoritively and explicitly told but there's a few things in my Sportsman S+ manual that are a little misleading. Maybe I'm just being pedantic. I am told I have the tendency to quibble over exact meaning when it doesn't really matter. It would be good if Horizon would clarify this point. |

If you want in CUB yellow, put the electronic in a J3 Cub.

Go to the manual - the bottom of page 5, the section dealing with the DX6 (and DX9, DX10t and DX18) - steps 3, 4 and 5. You will end up with the 'RED SWITCH feature' (panic button) on the BIND (or I) button. Make sure you reverse AUX 1 or pnic will be permanently on. |

Champ was my first plane......My skills are a tad better now.......Even with the bells and whistles that i do not need I am going to get this plane for the nostalgia of owning a Champ again......Going to set it up and try to 3D it like this LOL
