AR637T Receiver Setup via Forward Programming - Horizon Insider Tech Talk

[@horizonhobby]

Note that this process remains the same for any Spektrum Gen 2 or newer transmitter AND is applicable on many other "Smart" receivers from 2020 and beyond. You may need to update your transmitter and/or receiver to access the full catalog of features shown in this video.

[@marathon7man]

You’re correct, you are one of the only videos on KZbin who show binding the CC2 to an NX transmitter. I’ve been using the DXS this whole time but purchased the NX8 and struggled sorting everything out. Your video has worked flawlessly for me, so much that I completely deleted what I had already built on the transmitter and made a new plane profile following your guide. Thanks so much!

[@Truthstillmatters2]

This is the first video on Forward Programming that has been succinct and practical. Thanks!!

[@horizonhobby]

Glad to hear it! You are welcome :)

True story my friend... glad finally found the right guy and video.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Not really he started to take short cuts instead of explaining throughly what he passed over.

[@geraldbuckley5925]

As an older pilot (78), I can verify that SAFE is very helpful with takeoffs and landings. I have totaled MANY planes, but none with SAFE activated. My SAFE planes include a carbon z Cessna, z Cub, and a FT Storch, and two planes I have, but not yet flown, an FT Edge 540 (just completed), and a Hangar 9 Ultra Stick. If you are crash prone, swallow your pride (or arrogance) and get flight stabilization in the planes you really don’t want to lose.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

All your planes are BNF right ?

[@Navigator777777]

@FBI grooms Kids I agree 100% with your namesake. Satan is on the move in America.

[@Wings_of_foam]

Nothing wrong with using SAFE.

[@marathon7man]

You are very correct, you are the only video on KZbin who properly shows binding the NX8 to the Carbon Cub S2. The others, albeit helpful, did not cover as much info as yours has. I’ve been using the DXS this whole time but purchased the NX8 this week and your video has really helped me to properly set up the Tx. Thank you!

[@av8tore71]

I'm new to RC planes (thanks COVID-19) and have bought receivers to program myself and had absolutely no way of understanding how. This video is awesome and my scratch foamies are flying awesome like they are on rails. Thanks Horizon, you saved me yet again on my scratch builds

[@rafaeltorres2886]

He skipped over a lot your not going to have total success until understand what he skipped over trust me he didn't explain many things if your going to put this reciever in other brands or scratch build planes.

[@txkflier]

One thing “he might have missed” is setting the AS3X gains to “Fixed”instead of the default of “Adjustable”. When he skipped setting the gain channel because the NX6 doesn’t have a knob, the AS3X gains are all going to be zero. If you don’t assign a gain channel and an input for it, you must set the gains to “Fixed”. However, the menu option for that doesn’t show up until you set up a flight modes channel. For some reason, Spektrum doesn’t have you do that until you do the first time setup for SAFE. After SAFE is set up, you can go back to the AS3X settings screen and the option to change the AS3X gains from “Adjustable” to “Fixed” will magically appear. I don’t like how the menus change as you go through the setup process. It forces you to keep cycling through them to make sure you haven’t missed anything. They could have had it automatically set the gains to “Fixed” if you didn’t set up a gain channel and they should have had you set up the flight modes channel long before the first time SAFE setup. Also, even though a 6 channel transmitter doesn’t have a knob, you could put the gain channel on a 3-position switch which would give you three gain settings - 0%, 1/2 of the gain settings, or the full amount of the gain settings. Not great, but better than nothing.

[@aquaticthumb5193]

This helped a lot. This is why I watched the video, and it wasn't addressed.

[@JS-jr1wu]

Thanks for response here and also detailed response on Fat Guy Flies channel. The manual does not stress the importance of setting the gains to fixed. I couldn't get the AS3X working properly unless I activated the heading feature and then it would worked for some reason. No that I set the gains to fixed, the heading feature does not have to be activated for AS3X to work properly. Thank you!

[@CONFUCIUS-f2x]

Got the FMS 3M, NX6 and ar637t. Now i understand thanks to this video . It glides very well and the SAFE option is just for emergency occasions (very regulary). Thanks man.

Very helpful video covering the setup. I really liked the 'turn it upside down' trick to distinguish between as3x and safe mode.

I've had absolutely zero issues with the forward programming. I really did like the adjustable gain it is perfect for fine tuning your plane...

[@octane2099]

I got everything going good I set the as3x and safe I throttle up but as3x doesn’t turn on safe does when I flip the switch any idea

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Why don't you make a video on installing and programming an AS3X reciever into a non Horizon plane and explain throughly forward programming at a level that us novices could understand in stead of this guy passing over important information that could explain more clearly the process and functionality of this transmitter . I'm not trying to be rude but let's face it I would spend 90.00 for 10 of my planes nearly 1000.00 in sales if I could as well as I'm sure others understand the set up of this HH technology. It would be great if you can do it please.

I have tried to follow the video with my NX8 and AR637T....but I don't get many flight mode screens and setup screens you show. I can do the test you show at the end and confirm SAFE works, but can't confirm AS3X at all. What do I do now?

[@cgdurant1]

I have set up as3x and safe on switch b (a 3 position switch) on nx6 transmitter and ar637t receiver. Flight modes are no as3x, as3x on, safe. All travel, gains, dual rates, rates and expo are exactly the same for all flight modes. In off and as3x modes travel and throws work exactly as expected. However, if I turn on safe (with self level), throws and travel are greatly reduced. So much so that I am concerned elevator throw is so little, there is not enough command to control aircraft. Can someone help me understand why travel is reduced like this?

[@ret737]

Thank you for the more simplified version for AS3X and SAFE programming. I watched all the Spektrum videos pertaining to this receiver but this video gave me the info I needed to program AS3X and SAFE as if it were a BNF model without the complexities of mass programming. Can I program an AR636 with my iX20 or do I have to do that old school i.e. cable and laptop?

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

Thank you so much. Is there a video about the gains settings?

[@toddsegalpsychicdetectivea1578]

I use safe for all of my planes and use as3x as well. I have noticed on my war planes that safe makes them wiggle too much. I have the sensitivity down to one. Do I need to adjust those percentage rates in forward programming to make it more stable in safe?

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Love HH always there to help and HH is innovative.

[@re3065]

We have used this video to program our planes and put SAFE and AS3X on a 3 position switch and have gone back and reviewed it when we need a refresher. We would like to know, can we use this video utilizing the new firmware we updated our receiver to accommodate AS3X+ ??

[@cgdurant1]

Great video and it also a key item needs to be said. If using a transmitter (such as an nx6 seen here) with no adjustable gain. Then you must set gains as fixed in gain settings. By default they are set to adjustable. If this is missed, it will appear as though safe works when the switch is set to that, but when switched to as3x only, nothing happens. Try putting gains on fixed to get it all functioning if your transmitter has no adjustable gain knob or switch

[@esill2995]

Good catch. It took me awhile to figure this out on my own.

[@ericubkd2189]

I'm well trained to program older 636 series with AS3X Programmer where we had to correctly set up the surfaces direction to get proper AS3X response. On the newer Forward Programming enabled Rx series, there is no more surfaces settings in the FP menus (or I missed it)... So I'm wondering the Tx/Rx can know the right servo direction in order to get AS3X/Safe working properly? And how may we reverse a surface direction in case of wrong surface direction (during AS3X/Safe test)? 🤔

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Good video! Wish you would have explained what Flight Mode is.

[@txkflier]

Somehow, I missed the menu option "Level model and capture attitude" at 10:30. Not that it really matters because I always have to enter a nose-up pitch attitude correction after test flying my planes. They all kick the elevator up some whenever I go into SAFE mode with them sitting level on the ground.

[@jimmydoolitle3764]

I'm using a "DX6" to do the forward programming and my wing type is two alieron servos and one Y harnessed flap servo, no retracts. So my Rx port assignments displays 1 through 6 just like yours. HOWEVER, despite my having selected a flight mode switch same as you did, my channel input config page DOES NOT have an entry for "7 aux2: B" I have no 7th entry, so I can't assign and independent flight mode switch for safe select. Is this because I'm using a DX6 instead of an NX6 that you are using??? what's going on here? if anyone knows, please help. Thanks.

[@trevorkilbey9761]

I swapped my DX8e to an NX8, mostly so I could get updates on Wifi. Great improvement. My Timber Turbo Evo had been set up with DX8e so I saved the settings to SD and then installed in NX8. After binding, all the functions and switches were correct, correct control responses. Off for a test flight then I discovered AS3X worked but no safe. Basic bind error as in effect I disabled safe, so following the bind procedure it is most important after you remove the bind plug, that the transmitter is off. You then hold down the bind button and at the same time turn on transmitter. The display will then show binding and configuration, when complete you are done. I find the accompanying manual highly lacking in clear explanations on gyros and AS3X as well as some other features. Having the receiver AS637TA delivered with the Timber Turbo EVO, I do not have the option of 1st time settings and forward programming goes straight to the single Gyro option and it does not give me option to set the gains. All of the instructional videos I have watched do not show how to adjust gain without the 1st time set up. How to access the gin settings. Telemetry tells me what the current setting are, but I cannot change them. Frustrated like hell. Trevor Kilbey

Can you use the 6 channel receiver to program as3x in a 6 channel plane

[@geraldbuckley5925]

Question: When you first fly the plane after setting up as3x and Safe, trim the plane (with Safe off) to get it to fly straight and level, will Safe then use those adjustments as it’s base? Also, can you trim it while in Safe?

[@horizonhobby]

Great question! We are going to pass this over to the Spektrum team to make 100% sure we convey the correct response.

[@horizonhobby]

Gerald, hopefully this makes sense. Setup/trim the plan in non-gyro OR AS3X mode first. These trim adjustments will carry over into SAFE mode (unless you have some other flight mode programmed that prevents this). However, SAFE will take priority over these trim adjustments as it will always return the plane to the "attitude" settings you programmed on the bench, regardless of trim. So, if the plane makes some awkward/undesired response when you flip into SAFE mode, it is likely you need to recapture/program the attitude settings (on the bench).

[@57heeler]

something seems off to me....I have a Turbo Timber, the manual is quite clear on how to activate AS3X and SAFE. It was NOTHING like all that he just went through. Activating Safe is determined by how you bind the plane with the bind plug, then hold the gimbles together and flip a switch 5 full toggles to assign it. AS3X can be left out but who would - SAFE is assigned to a switch and activate if you get in a bind. Is this video talking about something all together different or is it the plane that he's using that makes the difference?

[@cgdurant1]

Timber is a bind and fly already set up for as3x if you use bind plugs as it says in manual. You cannot get into forward programming on bind and fly unless you Jail break it (which is another spectrum video). This video is for a brand new receiver out of the box for any plane you put it in. Basically you are programming what they do already for bind and fly aircraft out of the box. Bind and fly just has horizon having done all this for you

Not necessarily, but we do recommend entering the forward programming menu and selecting the "relearn servo settings" option.

Thank you for not using the IX radio like most do

Here is an interesting Question: I have had a couple of FMS model aircraft including the Super Viper & The Avanti V3. I then have taken the 636 receiver from the E-flite Viper & installed in the Super Viper (same aircraft) & then the Avanti. The both fly beautifully in SAFE mode.I would have loved to have purchased from Spektrum the 636 for say the Viper set up, but this is not sold as a safe or AS3X set up programmed & ready to install. I wonder why? I know now we can do this ourselves with the 630 or 637T, but it would have been great to buy the 636 already set up for a specific model.

You can send your current AR636 settings to a virgin AR636 using the PC or mobile App. Here's a video briefly explaining how to - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53Yl42sbJd8pNE

Hi guys, I just got the 1.2 Corsair yesterday and I’m trying to setup AS3X on my nx6 and when I hit forward programming it says “connection failed”. I’ve tried several times but nothings working. Any insight?

[@horizonhobby]

The Corsair does not support Forward Programming. The BNF model utilizes older receiver technology. You would have to upgrade the receiver to take advantage of this feature, unfortunately.

[@jtepsr]

is this setup the same as the AR6610T receiver that came with the nx 6 radio. can i use the AR6610T receiver in this plane.

[@horizonhobby]

Technically the setup is the same, but there really isn't "forward programming" with the 6610 since it does NOT have AS3X or SAFE Select. Yes, it will work in the CJ-6.

[@TheSlyfly]

SAFE or SAFE Select will only come on and work in a flight mode if the gains are set to fixed. If the gains are adjustable and you flip the plane the ailerons will not react and will not flip the plane back. Check it out for yourself!

Wish you guys would sell the IX 12 in white again

[@dalerbsr.5061]

Thanks, good info

[@horizonhobby]

You are welcome!

[@lucaspoole8866]

This works on ANY RC plane/Jet?? Correct! Because I already own all of the E-flite jets. I want a couple of the Freewing and FMS ones but never got them because none of them have safe I guess with this process now they will and I can buy & fly other Jets!!! Thank goodness!!

[@prowlus]

I got mine working on a ripmax wott

[@mauriceartiles3968]

My issue is my transmitter won’t read a single sd card I have

[@MrALDO42]

Is that the only receiver that can use forward programming?

[@horizonhobby]

Nope! Any "smart enabled" receiver can now operate via forward programming!
