One thing I didn't cover was using the "Level model and capture attitude" option at 56:04. If the receiver is mounted level in the plane, you don't really need to do that. However, it's not a bad idea to do it because if it doesn't set the values very close to zero, the receiver isn't mounted properly or the orientation setting is wrong.

Wow, this is one great video. I've been wishing there was a software program that would do these things, and simply being able to actually unlock the preset files versus just deleting/factory resetting them and calling it unlocked, is one great feature. 👍🏻

I was able to get this software loaded on the computer and was able to edit a preset file for the aeroscout and unlock the file and turn off as3x for expert mode 3, and then use the Spectrum Program to software to load the custom preset file on the aeroscout ar631 receiver. It's great to have all of the rest of the settings intact and view them through forward programming. 👍🏻 The learning process will be so much easier now. Thanks again.

I should mention that I also had to use forward programming to relearn the servo directions since I left the receiver unlocked. Now I really like being able to fly the Aeroscout in mode three without any as3x in full 100% manual mode. Thanks again for this great video and for Flightengr who created the SASMB which makes this so much easier to do and understand. On the Aeroscout Ar631 mode 3, Spektrum had put a 10 in the gain pitch heading field that causes some undesired pitch issues in turbulent winds. But I just turned as3x off all together for mode 3.

Really helpful video, thank you for taking the time to help others!

Hi! do you have a link or can tell me where to find this program? Does it bypass Spektrum's need for registration etc?

The Spektrum Programmer software will want register a receiver if you try to upgrade the firmware. Look for the user “FlightEngr” on RC Groups for his software.

I set up flaperons on this model, 1 aileron to channel 6 & other 2 however there is no safe on channel 6 and makes the flaperons uneven when safe is on, do you know how can I unlock channel 6 to have safe on?

I don't recommend flaperons on any plane. They cause adverse yaw and can cause tip stalls. Did you set the wing type to flaperons and did you run the "Relearn Servo Settings" routine in Forward Programming afterwards?

@@txkflier i got old tx has no forw programming, its done deviding aileron to Ch 2 & 6 then mixing, when safe & flaps is on, it makes flaps uneven, to sort i gotta unlock channel 6 to have safe, how do i do it on a computer? yaw adverse is compensated by yaw stick, tip stall on flaperon can be practiced by adjusting different flap rate at high altitude at low landing speed until a satisfactory outcome.

@@aminuk231. The gyro won't work correctly when you set up the mix manually. The transmitter tells the receiver what to do thru Forward Programming. 2. The root cause of adverse yaw is the difference in drag from one side of the wing to the other. Using the rudder to compensate for it doesn't fix the problem; it sort of covers it up. Why would anyone want to use the rudder during turns when the problem could be eliminated with proper design? 3. As far as tip stalls, a pilot can eventually learn to keep the ailerons centered when the plane is about to stall. A gyro doesn't know the plane is about to stall and will deflect the ailerons as soon as a wingtip begins drop, exacerbating the problem. 4. If you know more than my 60 years of R/C experience has taught me, you're welcome to "do it your way".

@txkflier what you saying is somehow correct however I got an old tx dx6i so either safe off & gyro out of way flap mix that leads to tip stall or safe on & 3 second wait for rc to learn flaps, tip stall likely to happen with too much of flap in hands of inexperienced pilot, stall practice at higher altitude is the key, for yaw adverse, I fly drones acro to bank you use roll and yaw together, if roll is used only adverse yaw happens so does in plane, it just physics and design of plane is out of box, they are not perfect for yaw adverse, fw programming tx > programs the receiver so gyro works as it should, why this can't be done on a computer? & how do I unlock channel 6 to have safe? I got the same plane extra 300

@@aminuk23What I said is absolutely correct. In pilot training, you practice flying on the verge of a stall. You must steer the plane with the rudder and keep the ailerons centered. If you deflect the ailerons in either direction, the down-going aileron will stall that side of the wing. And that's without them being lowered as flaperons. The SASMB software written by FlightEngr doesn't give you a way to tell the receiver what the wing type is. Only Forward Programming can do it. Since the info is stored in the receiver, you can borrow a Gen 2 transmitter to set it up and then re-bind the receiver to your old transmitter. If you fly drones, don't you have an OpenTX/EdgeTX transmitter? There's a LUA script that'll do Forward Programming. Why would you want flaperons on an Extra in the first place? It's light enough that it'll land slow enough without them.
