    I very much appreciate your videos. I couldn't figure out why my safe switch was not working as programmed. Then I discovered in your video the throttle needs to be 25% or more for the programming to take effect. You would think the manual that came with the plane would have mentioned that. I have used other videos you've made. Now I just look for your videos when in doubt. Thanks very much.

    Hello BD. I watched some of your videos and I appreciate very much your your understandable way of explaining. My question is not directly related to this video but I hope you can help me as I think you are an expert: I own a Blade 230S Smart RTF and a Spektrum NX8 on top. I've done the programming of the NX8 acc. to the manual and double-checked it twice. On my first flight and after about one minute in normal mode the tail rotor made the heli spin about 90deg and then throttle was gone and the heli "landed", luckily on gras and only from 1,5m flight altitude. I checked and restarted the heli, but the same situation / problem after about three minutes again. When binding the heli to the RFT-radio DXs everthing was fine, not any issues or problems at all. I had exactly the same situation with my Nano S3 and my 120 S2 in combination with the NX8: Tail rotor spin and "landing" after about one to three minutes of flight time, but no problems at all when using their RTF-radios. So my question is: Can you immagine or name the issue? I´m quite new to this stuff at all and I´m a little bit confused now. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Markus.

    Hi, this is a quick related reaction to your great video and also the next step of installing Flaperons. this is about Spektrum AR-631 receivers and my Spektrum DX 8 Hi, Your videos are very good. easy to understand and follow. ------Just wanted to add that my experience for setting up Flaperons with a Safe AS3X PILOT 1 ARF STINSON VOYAGER. ONLY the Right Flaperons will Correct, or do it's Safe or AS3X stabilizing function BUT the Ch 6 Left Aileron will not correct or do any AS3X or Safe function. Reason is that only Receiver Ports 2 Ailerons with Y connector, 3Elevator, and 4Rudder are active with SAFE AS3X mode. Port 6 is outside of that. So this means that all stabilizing and limiting corrections will attempt to be corrected by just one Flaperon connected to Port 2 Aileron port. ---- I have read that this is not so much a problem with full span ailerons like my Great Planes Trainer 60. BUT it could be stall waiting to happen if you have shorter Flaperons like on my Stinson although it hasn't stalled yet . I keep my approach stabilized and apply flaps on the downwind, keep speed up in turn to final as well. If I was not aware of this Flaperon Effect a slow turn to base and final could induce a tip stall because of the yaw induced when the Safe aileron is overreaching (down) to do the work of the inactive Aileron (Port 6). Just want to let you know this , but you probably already know. But if you could put this into you appropriate videos with these warnings. None of this is obvious and would have saved me a week of researching and double checking my stuff. Also, another Item: The Great planes Trainer 60 mentioned above was built by me in 1996 covered with Monokote Chrome film and flew with a Futaba Conquest 74mh radio and long antenna strung external to the fuselage. Training edge to vertical stabilizer. Chrome monokote has a metallic component. I get a 12 ohm reading from probe to probe at 3 inches. I therefore exited the 33 mm tip of the Spektrum receiver antenna out the bottom and did a range test. Full power, 300 feet, with the plane both on the ground, and rigged sideways (knife edge flight between two garden chairs with the belly of the plane facing away from me. Full control at this distance which I attribute to exiting the antenna out the bottom. Question: Do you think I need to use a remote receiver ? I hope not because I would have to buy a different receiver other than the AR 631 I just installed. FYI: the fuselage has regular orange monokote below the beltline front to back and Chrome monokote above the beltline. Thanks for the patience reading my input. You have an excellent speaking style, pace, and logical presentation. My sources are: None of this is mentioned in any Spektrum Literature or operating manuals. Re monokot chrome signal blocking, Only an old thread on a RC forum mentioned and included a response from Monokote tech many years ago with a warning about signal reflection and interference with chrome monokote. Also another roadblock puzzle for me, but solved , with the Trainer 60 which has an OS MaxSF.61 glow engine, the receiver battery is plugged into Port 5. When I had it plugged initially into the first port Bind Plug, I could bind and test the plane in the shop. But when I shut it all down and then switched on the tx and the rx it would not operate... it had to be rebound. Took me a while to figure that out. Also not mentioned in the RX manual. Thanks!

    BD, Speaking of the NX8 and a Carbon Cub S2. If I understand it correctly there is a difference between Safe Select and Safe. Safe has an intermediate function which means if you want to set it up you would want to do it on a 3 position switch. I used the (Carbon Cub S +) bind n fly template on the Radio, however I think the S + only had Safe Select. Am I going to have to build a plane from scratch on the NX8 or can I tweak the S+ build already installed to setup Safe? Also how do you turn off/disable expo when you are in Safe mode? I do not want to double up on the settings so to speak. Safe mode already has mixes and expo built into the programming. Sorry for the long request and thanks for any help you could provide.

    Correct, Safe Select has Beginner which limits your bank angle the most. Intermediate that allows more bank angle and Expert is no limiting. You can change expo in a BNF cause rx is locked.You can unlock it the PC but not all options are available. If your starting out and running Safe i wouldnt get caught up in worrying about that. I would start from scratch instead of modifying a model...

    This means it's possible to toggle "Safe mode" on and off? Since last week I have bought an Spektrum NX8, next to my precious JETI DS-24. I bought the NX-8 for Bnf planes, because it is both very cheap and very nice models are also available. With the NX8 I have an E-flite V1200 BNF Basic with Smart and the Extra 300 3D BNF Basic with AS3X & SAFE Select. It confuses me, SMART-AS3X and SAFE. What does all that mean? I never fly with a gyroscope but might like it if the V-1200 has a little bit of stability aid active with landing, as this is quite a heavy and fast plane with very little deflection airleron only about 8mm. The best thing would be if the stability system could be adjusted in strength. I definitely don't need a "rescue" or anything like that, I've been flying for a long time and also 3D, so I don't get scared so easily anymore. Thanks for the explanation in advance, and of course for the video!

    Spektrum AS3X is the gyro. Safe mode is auto leveling and bank/pitch limiting. When using AR636 you can turn off the Gyro (AS3X) but you can Safe. Now if its a new mode BNF that has a AR631 or AR637 then you can turn off AS3X (gyro) and Safe mode all together off (No flying aids). I have another video on channel showing that one. Also be careful using the templates in the NX radios currently as there is errors in them and not setup asccording to book as they should...

There was also an active assistance system in it, but because I do a lot of stunt flying, the assistance system counteracted in such a violent way, which I reacted against by countersteering.

    I am using an AR636A receiver with an NX6 transmitter. I tried following your video, but the toggle switch does not enable or disable the AS3X function properly. How can I reset it?

    This doesn’t work for me on an nx8 and a turbo timber evolution. I program the correct channel to the H switch, but the process of binding that switch to safe select never works. Any ideas?

    AS3X is Spektrum Gyro to help stabilize the plane. Safe mode is auto leveling and banking is limited.

    @@BDTennessee I'm a little confused now. my f-27 was BNF and I thought it was set up to be in as3x mode on startup and flipping the switch turned it off and you had complete control. so you couldn't have a switch set so it was in as3x and flipping the toggle put's it in safe select.

    I have a nx 10 and trying to bind to a ar636a I’ve tried everything an everyone says I’m doing it wrong but nope no matter what I do safe select ends up on my gear channel retracts up safe on retracts down safe off I’m pretty much done with it do the sticks down and in and flip the switch I desire an it try’s to forward program and says failed no matter how I try to bind it . The switch is always on gear channel any advice would be really really really nice at this point

    AR636 wont connect with forward programming because that receiver doesnt support FP... So here is recap of settings need to be done using 5 toggle switch method. 1) 100% rates (d/r switches active switch them to have 100% value) 2) Go into channel assign and set the switch you want to use in next step on Channel 7 (ie Channel Assign > Channel 7: Switch C) 3) Next is briefly mentioned in video, do this process right after binding. So rebind and then do 5 toggle switch method.

    I have followed your instructions to the letter and it’s like safe is locked in on gear channel . And the sticks in and toggle won’t work it try’s to forward program and fail on a receiver that does not support it n my old dx I had to run flaps an gear on a y with a inline servo reverser on the gear that’s why I bought the new nx and figured I would be able to make it work the way I want it to but no bueno

I created an new model and the only thing I set up was th cut and assign the switch I wanted to aux 2 before binding and everything worked I was surprised . Because I always go thru an set up everything I need be fore binding like flaps general expo I prefer F modes and all that good ness so I figured I’d try with out setting anything up on the radio .
