Thank you for doing this video. Nice job explaining the ins and outs. You covered some really valuable points to keep in mind. Bravo! Keep the videos coming!

Thank you! Could not get safe select to work for hours. Forward programming got me up and going. THANK YOU!

Excellent ! I followed your instructions using the forward programming option on my RV-7 to set up safe and it worked perfectly..... so much better than the old 2 sticks and flipping the switch method. Thank you.

You are my hero!Great video which helped me bypass all the clutter around setting up Safe Select!

Thanks very much for this video. I have a DX9 and while I know I can update it for forward programming, I"m old school believing that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Its nice to know when I buy a new BNF plane with one of the new rx's I can use what I know to set up and bind it.

OK, you are a genius! Could not assign a switch to SAFE using the toggle method on Conscendo Evolution. But YOUR vid worked like a charm with fwd programming on my NX10.

Thanks for this video. I have the NX8 radio and a newer bind and fly model (Extra 300) with the AR631 receiver. The manual for this model only deals with the "old method" of holding the sticks in the corner. I could never get that to work. Then I watched this video after and now understood the concept of "Forward Programming." Everything is now working as I expect. I encourage Spektrum / Eflite / Horizon to keep the manuals updated with the receivers they are shipping in those BnF models. I wasted a lot of time thinking something was wrong with my receiver, radio, or both) and/or something was wrong with me (very possible!) and in reality, it's just a dated user manual without revisions. I don't know where the responsibility for that manual starts/stops, but it reflected poorly on the SAFE technology unnecessarily and Spektrum indirectly. I know writing and maintaining manuals is not the most exciting job on the planet in a KZread world, but if we need to use KZread to understand the product operation then just direct us to an index of videos from the start.

That doesn't make horizen money.. but leaving important steps out like needing a USB cable to update ur brand new transmitter does make money.

In this video Tom explains to our fellow RC enthusiasts the 2 ways to setup SAFE SELECT on applicable models from E-Flite and Parkzone. One way, the older and more traditional way, is via stick and switch commands. BUT we also go over the new option when using a forward programming capable receiver and transmitter, such as the AR637TA, AR630 and AR631 with Safe Select firmware installed (this is what will come with your BNF models). Setup via Forward Programming is the best and easiest way to setup Safe Select, but it does require that you have a Forward Programming capable transmitter - Which could mean that you simply need to update your Spektrum Gen 2 transmitter. Here is a list of transmitters that DO NOT support Forward Programming - DX6i, DX6G2 (EU Version), DX7, DX7S, DX7SE, DX7G2 (EU Version), DX8, Non-computer transmitters

I have an nx8 radio and I already updated it, and I am trying to activate the safe select in my umx cirrus and with none of the two methods it works for me... the program forward method does not even appear on my radio. Since I bought this radio it has only been a headache, I stopped using it for a month and when I turned it on again everything had been misconfigured. Another ordinary day in one of the models one of the 3-position switches stopped working, the old specktrum radios worked better

Fairly good video. Recommend replacing with the section where you cut off the top of the transmitter

This was helpful! My problem was when the sticks go to the center, the dual rates were not on high and going to the monitor page pointed that out, it won’t work with the dual rates on low.

Thank you for this updated video. Just received my IX 20 transmitter, upgrading from my old but very reliable DX-9. It has been so long since I setup my planes, I forgot how I got my Safe Select programmed for my fleet of BNF planes. From what I am reading in your replies, planes like my original Timber will have to use the old method of enabling Safe Select, but planes like the Maul 7, or Cirrus SR22T I can use the forward programming method? One last question: Some models have 3 modes, i.e. full Safe mode, intermediate AS3X mode, and expert AS3X mode. Others only appear to have only 2: full safe mode or AS3X only. How do I figure out what each model is capable of?

Indeed!

I have just purchased a plane as a PNP. I am relatively new to rc planes and, for some peace of mind, will be looking to instal a spektrum AR630 receiver as I do want to have the option of having SAFE assignable to a switch so I can toggle between AS3X and SAFE modes. I understand there is a bit more to the set-up beyond just connecting the servos to the receiver. Obviously I will create a new model on my transmitter (dx6e) but I am told that I need to 'program' the receiver specifically to the aircraft using a USB or bluetooth programming cable (the USB one is coded SPAM3065). It is this area that I am absolutely clueless on and hope you can explain (in 'idiot's guided' speak) what to do and/or refer me to one of your KZread guides that may exist covering the subject. Your help will be much appreciated!

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 set up 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.

That was a good demonstration on how to set up safe select but I have one question I have safe select working but they are working the wrong direction how do you change direction of the controls for safe mode ???

I have a NX8 and have ordered the newly announced Turbo Timber and 90mm EDF Viper. I would like lessons on setting up telemetry for flight pack voltage via voice updates and also low voltage alarms. I will be using an earpiece and feel it can pretty much eliminate the timer. But no instructions anywhere on setting up telemetry. I am using all Smart batteries. Thanks. Bob Hoag

Hi and tnxs for the video: 2 questions: 1) in Fwd Programming SAFE SELECT, there are 2 SAFE items, one just close to AS3X, the other at the bottom... both can be activated indipendently. What is the difference? 2) on a NX6, in order to have all 4 flight controls, flaps, gear, safe select/AS3X selection, reverser, I would like to assign SAFE SELECT/AS3X on the Flaps channel, having SAFE on flap down and Mid and AS3X with Flaps UP. However I see that unless the channel send a 100 value or anything above 88, Safe Select cannot be selected... why? Tnxs!

Spektrum Rc, i am trying to setup safe select on my DX6 with the AR630, their is no forward programming showing up on my DX6, can i used the bind plug system to set bind it in safe?

I have trouble with my BNF conscendo evolution, when i try to bind it doesn't wiggle, i have servo control immediately but no way to activate safe select , when I go to forward programming and click Gyro settings it says connection failed

After safe select is set in transmitter, can you switch to off select and program your dual rates and expo.. for your normal flying?

Ive had nothing but headaches with binding and safe select. One thing I like is the elimination of the bind plug. On some UMX models there is no plug or button. Why can't they all be like that ?

Does this work with non spektrum radios? I have safe enabled but I can't seem to assign the switch by holding the sticks and flicking the switch like the video?

If I want the aircraft always in ax3 mode switchable to safe mode in which of the two binding positions do I find the aircraft. A little more clarity here is needed

I just set this up today, it was relatively easy on an ARF with a 637T I purchased separately. My question is, I am using a DX6 tx and the plane has flaps so I have to use both Aux and Gear for them to work. How do I set up a SAFE switch?

Hi JS. The Aeroscout is a different. It has SAFE and not SAFE SELECT. So there is no Forward Programming on that receiver. It may appear but it is actually not access able. Simply follow the Aeroscouts setup instructions to get the 3 Flight modes to work propperly. The Preset model file on your NX6 should do the trick if you want to avoid programming anything.

So does that mean I don't have a channel available to assign for Safe Select? Is the reason I can't get Safe Select to work is I have not available channel to assign it to?

Hi, is there a way to fine tune SAFE Select to give just the envelope protection without the self leveling? I saw a video for SAFE setup that allows this, but it must have been a different receiver. I have the AR637TA

The manual for the NX8 suggests using the safe template to set up a safe plane. I set it up for hte Carbon Cub S2, and got it working. But I added flaps, and if I change the wing type to 2 alerons 1 flap, then the safe select stops working, it's stuck in safe mode. I can only get it back when I change the eing type back to normal. But now I have no flaps. As a work around I can assign flaps to AUX7 and try a mix, but it's not going to give me the delay and such. Can you please fix this bug. I should be able to set us a SAFE BNC plane and then add flaps, and use the normal flaps menu without being stuck in SAFE mode forever..

Hi Mike! If you Bind your 230 to your NX6, you will need to rebind it to the DXs if you wish to switch back to that transmitter. Also, yes you can bind multiple helis to one transmitter, as long as the programming setup in the transmitter is the same. One of the beauties of the latest models from Blade is that the DXs is setup to fly most of them without any setting changes. So your DXs from your 230 will fly a 330 S, Fusion 360 Smart, and a couple new models coming out very soon :) Hope that helps!

One thing you can do to accomplish your goal is to reduce the Travel on the gear channel (channel 5) on the Stunt mode position. so one side of the travel menu for gear(I believe it is labeled Gyro in this case) you will set it to -100% and the other 0%. That should do the trick

Do you have to setup for every model or just once for all my models

set for each model.

In your video, it says on the screen "safe select". I guess this is just for NX radios? Can I see that also in my two DX (6 and 8) radios?

Awesome video but 1 question. Did you have to manually type in "Safe Mode"? Or does it automatically come up after programming... Please thank you!

WHY dont tthis work with the old 636a's thats what i have and i cant get it into safe

New to rc world. Have a nano s3 with NX8. Is it possible to put SAFE on its own separate switch with the nano 3 in 1 controller. Good job on this and like all your videos so I subscribed.

Yes you can! Instead of assigning the Ch5 to the same switch as your stunt modes (normally switch B) chose a different 3 position switch on your NX8, such as the D switch (or whatever one you find works best for you)

@@SpektrumRCvideos I too have a Nano S3 and an NX8. With the Nano powered, I get the Forward Programming option on my radio, but when I click on it, I always get "Connection Failed". Is this because forward programming is not available on the S3, and if so, why does the option show up? Thanks.

@@SpektrumRCvideos OK...... thats what I figured. Thanks. Having been away from RC for more than ten years, coming back I see a lot has changed - just about everything's electric and foam now, with ever more complex radios and systems! Bit of a learning curve to get up to speed again, and I must say, your video tutorials are extremely beneficial. Thank you so much, and keep up the great work!

No on a safe select preset that comes installed on BNF planes. Otherwise if it is something that you setup yourself, you can certainly have a mode that disables all stabilization.

Same process :)

Crescendo evolution..killed it bought a new one transferred the receiver to ex axact same place hooked everything up the Sam, it won’t change between aswx and safe. Tried five times. I m to nooby to fly in Aeschylus, but safe can be boring…$200 buck for this? Last Conscendo was the same.😝

Ich fand die Erklärung hilfreich obwohl ich nicht gut Englisch kann. Ich würde mir es wünschen wenn auch mit einer DX8 Fernsteuerung erklärt wird. Zum optischen Verständnis wäre es auch toll wenn man die Einstellungen am Flugzeug sehen und erkennen kann.

I bought an new NX8 (EU) Version in Austria and we have no FP Function in Europe (why?)... .. that´s not so cool... Question: ..if I buy the F15 Eflite EDF with safe select ... can I activate the Safe select after binding? or is it automatical activated after download the F15 BNF (avatar) Model from the BNF list in NX8 ?

The NX8, EU or US models, all support Forward Programming. At this point it depends on the receiver. To answer you Question, yes you will be able to activate it after binding. Use the forward programming menu for easy access ;)

@@joeeagle9531 That is correct. Only while it is bound and communicating with a FP device will the menu show up. ALSO if for some reason (and this is very rare) if you have it bound and connected and it is not showing up, try creating a new model and rebind.

will the switch assignment thing be the same on a Dx6i?

@SpektrumRCvideos

Not exactly, the fundamentals are the same but the DX6i is very limited on what switches you can assign. It can be done but the process is a bit different and likely you will only be able to do it with the Gear switch.
