    I need your help doing the Maiden of the P-38 with the programmed AR636. Enjoyed the build, but now that it’s together it scares me. Two 3200 4s 30c’s in it. I’m not strong enough to pick it up. I need you to carry it from the truck to the field, fly it, dial it in and put it back in the truck. I’ll carry the Flightline 1200 Spitfire for you to fly. I know what a fan you are of the elliptical wing.

    Unfortunately the Spektrum Programmer app on the PC can not communicate with the Bluetooth Programming Module at this time. So to get the PC working you need the USB Programming Cable. Link is in the description to purchase the USB Cable from Horizon.

    Quick question will these videos also work with a ar630 and a nx6 I just bought a pnp 1.2m p-51 and I’ve tried to program it and everything seems to work on the transmitter but I can’t hear any servos trying to move when I move the plane really quick

  • @TheRCAirMarshall

    Yep, it should work fine. You may want to make sure your gains are set to fixed instead of adjustable. You don’t have a knob to adjust them on the NX6, so just start with the defaults and turn any gain adjustment channels to inhibit.

    Aloha! Couple of things to check. Make sure the wing type is set up to one that is appropriate for your servo setup. For the FMS Yak it should be 1 aileron 1 flap. This will unlock the flap setup menu and assign flaps to Aux 1. In the flap setup you would assign the switch that you want to use for flaps. For the gear, you want to make sure the switch you want to use for gear (I always use A) is assigned to the gear channel (channel 5). If that’s all set up correctly we can go from there, but that should get you moving in the right direction.

    You mentioned that it’s an AR636B. Was this pulled from another airplane? I know on some, if there are channels not used they will be disabled in the receiver. You may need to check using the Spektrum Programmer that all the receiver channels are enabled. For example, the night radian with the AR636B was set up this way.

    I know I am given the option to load the Blade Firmware on to an airplane AR636, so I have to assume yes. But that's an intelligent guess, I don't know for sure. You would absolutely need to change the firmware on the receiver, but after that I would guess that it should work fine.

    I’ve honestly never set up a Helicopter, only fixed wing. I believe there are three or four different firmware versions specific for different models of helicopters available in the Spektrum Programmer software. You’d have to check them out and see which one is the closest match to what you’re installing it in and adjust from there.
