    great video with great explanation Steve. Do you, or anyone else have any idea about Synapse been sold as stand alone and compatible with 10 and 14 channels Power Safe? As I understand, they are complatibles with previous AS3000 and there is nothing else for them in term of gyros or stabilisation. thank you in advance

    @@Alaingizzmo it isn’t sold as stand alone and not compatible with older units. Likely newer RX. Units will be made available in the future with compatibility and lower channel counts.

    You should have read the manual. That's not how to install the side force generators... But I think you figured that out cause you already damaged your airframe lol. Have fun flying, its a good aircraft.

    Great product to show Steve. It is pricey for sure, but when you consider the prices of the planes it is intended for...quite a bargain really. Its like having a stand and insurance all in one. I've seen a 20k jet hit the concrete when the stand it was on fell over. The guy barely bumped into it. You'd have to really try to knock that over.

  • @StevesRC
    @StevesRCАй бұрын

    Yep! As soon as your factor in dropping a much more expensive airplane and the fact that this will last a lifetime, it’s not the worst price point.

    Hmmm a $425 stand. At this price point they could afford to manufacture colored anodized surfaces. Also, It would be better a better product if it had adjustable receiving saddles to be pivotable to better conform to varying fuse shapes. Including optional phenolic wheels-for $425 (w/built-in braking) would make it better so you can wheel your huge planes around in the hanger. Nice review, "KING of all" - I dunno.

    Nice stuff! The sleep mode for RX is HUGE! Gyros, SAFE, AS3X, should always be TOOLS. I agree, the #1 pro on the planet can still benefit. If you use a gyro ad a crutch, it will fool ypu and get you in trouble. Nlw if we can only get the price down...

    Does the NX 6 satisfy most requirements for most BNF planes from Horizon? Been looking at a used DX8 or for almost same money a used NX6. Is six channels enough for a plane that also has flaps and gear plus light modes

  • @StevesRC

    Pretty much? Honestly the NX8 is really the king of “meeting all bnf requirements” but the 6 does well. You only run into issues when you are doing flaps and gear and safe select, etc.
