Thanks for the compliment!

I've downloaded all 49 of the Smart AS3X/SAFE receiver config files from Horizon's shared Google drive and entered all of the settings into an Excel spreadsheet. Here's a little of what I found while looking through the data. 1. Only 5 of the 49 models had the AS3X Priority set to something other than 160. They were the four Hangar 9 models and the Opterra 2m Wing. The lowest Priority setting was 110. 2. All 49 models had the AS3X Gain Sensitivity set to 1x. None were set to 2x or 4x. 3. All 49 models had AS3X enabled in FM1. The average AS3X gains in FM1 were 33 for roll, 57 for pitch, and 60 for yaw. 4. Forty-eight models had SAFE Self-Level/Angle Demand enabled in FM1. The average SAFE mode gains were 42 for roll and 57 for pitch. The only exception was the Opterra which has SAFE enabled in FM3 instead of FM1. 5. All 49 models had AS3X enabled in FM2. The average AS3X gains were 34 for roll, 58 for pitch, and 61 for yaw. Only 2 models had SAFE Envelope mode enabled in FM2 - the Apprentice and AeroScout RTF's. 6. Forty-six models had AS3X enabled in FM3. The average AS3X gains were 34 for roll, 59 for pitch, and 61 for yaw. AS3X was disabled in FM3 for 3 of the Hangar 9 planes. So, in general, Spektrum/Horizon very rarely sets the priority to something other than 160, always sets the gain sensitivity to 1x, and almost never turns AS3X off in their BNF's.

Excellent video BD thank you! I’m still a bit confused about “gains” and the way they set it up in the receiver but I’ll keep reading/watching. As in “160 means full stick turns AS3X off”…huh? What? But you’ve given the best information thus far on “gains” in general. Great stuff man. Very helpful…slowly becoming more literate as far as forward programming goes and your video got me 80 percent of the way there.

How can I reverse that function, to where AS3X is all the way back, and SAFE is inwards. I would imagine the procedure is similar enough with most Spectrum Transmitters. If you can help, let me know please. THANKS.

Which receiver using? Older receiver such as AR636A its default in a position. Should be able to go into servo setup and reverse the channel. Newer receivers with forward programming you change in flight mode setup.

Great Videos, I am having an issue with AS3X and or SAFE. Im om a ix14 and after assigning the AS3x switch the model is trimmed but when I want to turn everything off and I flip the switch the elevator pitches up for some reason.

Thanks for the help. My questions are.....Can AS3X be used without activating SAFE? Once AS3X is set up, is there a way to do some sort of a "bench test" to see that it's working?

@BDTennessee

8 ай бұрын

Yes, dont activate Safe by not doing first time Safe Setup. Once you complete first time setup AS3X will beomce active after 25% throttle. Shake the plane to hear servos or see surfaces move. Sometimes default rate isnt strong enough to observe easily. So turn the multiplier to 4X for "bench test".Once checked, turn back to 1X...

Hi BD, I had a quick question I was thinking of buying the Durafly EFX Racer (PNF) Yellow Edition High Performance Sports Model 1100mm. it has a 60 amp Aerostar esc.

@@BDTennessee Hi BD, well I bought the Durafly today. So should be here next week sometime. I still will have to purchase the receiver but no Biggy. just a fast run down, I usually buy the BNF planes and jets. So this will be a new deal, setting everything up by myself. So if I am understanding all your info, First take the plane out of the box. "lol" I have the NX8 Transmitter set up as new model. Set switches the way I like and setup the flight mode for as3x and safe. Then put plane together, don't hook up any control arms yet, mount receiver in plane, then bind it. Then after it is bound make sure all control Surfaces are level, and moving in the correct directions. Then I can proceed to setting up the receiver in forward programming? Thanks for all your info and time man.

BD, is this necessary for all planes set to Safe? I am new to flying and do use safe but never saw this before. Or do you do this to fine tune your settings? Love your videos. They have taught me so much but this one is confusing to me being a newbie. Thanks

Did you assign a gain switch? (ie knob) Turn the knob fully clockwise,turning to the left will reduce gains. Gains are fairly low from the factory. Dont have a gain select on rknob, select fixed in "adjustable/fixed" menu. Default gains are too low for some planes and when testing wont hear servo movement. Lastly, some receivers can be defective,which makes Safe work but not AS3X...

I've had eflite planes that are bind and fly with and have to do nothing the as3x works without having to program, so I'm just asking if I buy a 10 channel as3x receiver for my corisar do I need to program it?

I wish the tutors would go through exactly step by step how to program the receive without the side notes that confuses and interrupts the flow. Then you could have a tutor that shows all the side notes. I am not computer literal so I continually need to go back and watch again to get the order correct, trying to separate the side notes from the step by step correct programing, Otherwise this is a great program.

1) Flight modes (AS3X and Safe3 modes) have to be on one switch when using basic forward programming setup. 2) You can use them in many different ways.Works like a momentary switch stock.However you can change switch to perform as 2 or 3 position switch.

@@ghoward6797 Is it possible that you have the gyro reversed on rudder? SAFE doesn't control the rudder; only AS3X does. I check the rudder direction by holding the plane in front of me with the nose toward my stomach and then rotate my body to the left or right. While I'm rotating, the rudder should deflect in the same direction that I'm rotating. When I stop, it should go back to center. Before you do this test, you'll have to activate AS3X by raising the throttle above 25% for a second and then activate throttle cut.

Its shocking how many people are totally clueless about how to do this. BNF planes are nice, but people dont learn how Forward Programming works at all because all the functions are locked and preset.
