SPEKTRUM AR636 RECEIVER WON'T BIND ! IT WILL AFTER YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO SPECIAL FIX

[@mindofnobility7554]

THE BEST! We bought the aircraft new and was puzzled until we stumbled upon your solve video. Turned it on waited for the sensor search noise, flipped the fuselage upside down, and the orange radio LED started blinking the plane could finally bind. Thank God!

[@Hairywildthing]

This video has helped me a lot. I've been making adjustments to one of my planes and the receiver would not connect to the transmitter, checked the battery and even tried to rebind the receiver and nothing would work. Having found this video it helped me as I was working on the plane on it's side so that I could see what I was doing inside. Having watched the video I went back to the plane , placed it back on it's wheels and turned it on and every thing started to work again. Thanks for a very useful video, keep up the good work Shaun.

IM GLAD THAT HELPED THIS IS WHY I STARTED THIS YOU TUBE VENTURE TO HELP OTHERS HAPPY FLYING

[@josephdale5400]

Wow bud I would have never figured that out...EVER lol I'm a new flyer and once I get frustrated with something I just get more confused. Really you helped me and I'm sure a lot of other people. Keep it coming and thanks again!

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

hi joseph thank you for watching im glad i can lend a hand . im new at this video stuff. so we can both learn at the same time ... lol

[@cybertones942]

Yeah kind of a lot of frustrating stuff and they could add them in the box🤣 i grind binding straight to a 3d heli that has a bind button but don’t work that way

[@mindofnobility7554]

Indeed! This really helped us too! Beyond frustration, plane was on the field and everything.....came back home an wallah!🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adishriva]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO ON AS3X BINDING I WAS GETTING FRUSTRATED ABOUT MY RECEIVER BUT AFTER SEEING YOUR VIDEO , TRIED AND SUCCEEDED! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

hey im glad it helped . i spent maybe 2 weekends of ............ before i figured it out

[@bigbellyflyer]

Holy ship! I was having the same problem, for 3 days trying to figure out , found this video and it worked!

[@kirkerickson1591]

was about to smash this plane with a bat, but then i found your video and it worked first try

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

awsome

[@sidvalluri1702]

Wow. You are a lifesaver! This was driving me bonkers and yours the the first and only time I've seen this issue mentioned. LIked & Subscribed !

[@sgbryant1962]

Thank you for making this video. I have a ar6210 that would bind but the servos didn’t work. So I rebound the receiver upside down and now everything works. Great job. Thank you. I just bought a DX9 and know very little about these transmitters. I’ve always had Futaba since the late 80’s. It’s just a little learning curve. I’ll get it. 😊

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

Your welcome what you just said is why I'm doing this

You, sir, are a steely eyed, missle man! Many well wishes to you and your family. 😊

[@EastCoastLtd]

Yep. Had a couple Maule M7; it's mounted upside down in that model. I had plane upside down on the stand and was trying to bind it, because that's where the belly access for the receiver was...

[@blumax240]

Holy bat smoke! I was about to give up on binding the a3x receiver in my new night Visionair. I have been flying for Futaba for 25 years and I am new to Spectrum. Want to try the stabilization and self righting for easier night flight. Your video was the only thing that kept me from giving up on this Spectrum receiver. Nicely done!

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

IM GLAD THAT HELPED LOOK AT MY VIDEO FROM TODAY FLYING AT NIGHT

I have 2 spectrum receivers that won't bind. I'm going to try this with them. Thanks, I've been looking and searching for a way to bind them.

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

I hope this helps you Larry. If not erase them with the usb program cable and start over

[@romeoramos6650]

Exactly what he said I thought I was rip with a broken receiver, almost put a hammer into it.

[@mepropwash]

here is one for the books...I can bind my AR6363a and get "Safe to work with ailerons, and elevator but not Rudder. AX3S works only with ailerons, no elevator or rudder. This is an e-flite f4 which worked a year ago. My trans is the spektrum dx8-2. I have done one firmware update since then. transm shows firmware 2.11. I have tried a different channel on my trans but that didn''t work.

[@waynemiller6070]

Great tip Sean. Thanks

[@2006jayden]

Thanks for the tip. Nice job

[@rcdavidk]

I'm wondering if the Rx actually bound, regardless of it's orientation, but it simply didn't initialize because it of the orientation. If you had left the first bind in place, disconnected the battery, disconnected the bind plug, turned the Rx over, connected the battery the Rx would have initialized.

[@shanesdiy]

You are correct. It does bind regardless of orientation and had he just flipped it over even without cycling power or removing the bind plug, it would have initialized. Very helpful video, just a bit of clarification of what is happening. Would have been nice if Spektrum would have programmed the LED to do some unique flash sequence if it was waiting for leveling rather than just making it look "dead".

[@DjArity]

Thanks for posting this very valuable information. When are you doing the give away? Looks like a cool plane. Thanks again!!!

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

once we get to 1000 subcribers the the give away will happen we are at about 700 now

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

You're welcome!

[@larryhawkes1347]

I assume you can change its programming so it can be mounted right side up again. Can that be done using forward programming from a TX? Or does it have to be done via a computer?

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

Yes I have changed the programming many times for different demonstrations . I don't use that 636 to fly with. The 636 can only be programmed by the spektrum programmer on a computer or a app with smart phone or tablet. Forward programming is for the newer receivers the smart ones 630 631 637 and the 8&10 chanell plus all the smart non as3x safe receivers

[@EastCoastLtd]

Thanks fella 👌

[@donwhite8502]

Do you know if you can use a DX5e with a AR636 and get safe working.Everything I try dont work. Thanks Don

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

YES YOU CAN. BUT REMEMBER . REMEMBER IF YOU BIND IT WITH PUTTING IN THE BIND PLUG THEN POWERING THE PLANE THEN PULLING OUT THE BIND PLUG THEN BIND THE TRANSMITTER SAFE SELCET WILL ALWAYS BE ON. IF YOU WANT TO USE CHANELL 5 ON THE DX5E THE TURN SAFE ON AND OFF MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT USING CHANELL 5 FOR LANDING GEAR . SO THROTTLE ALERION ELEVATOR RUDDER AND SAFE ON AND OFF IS ALL YOU HAVE UNLESS YOU KEEP SAFE ON OR OFF BY THE 2 DIFFERNT BIND PLUG METHODS. ALSO YOU WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO REVERSE CHANELL 5 IN THE TRANSMITTER ;IF THAT STILL DOESNT WORK YOU NEED TO TEACH THE RECEIVER THAT YOU WANT TO USE THE CHANELL 5 SWITCH TO TURN SAFE ON AND OFF . HOLDING BOTH STICKS TO THE BOTTOM AND TOWARDS EACH OTHER AND FLIP THE SWITCH BACK AND FORTH 10 TIMES

[@nicksharp6950]

You are awesome.

[@nicksharp6950]

Ahh, but now I have backwards servos. If I reverse them the AS3X doesn't work properly..

[@stevejamelskyj5761]

I've just bought Ar630 as3x it works fine but no safe on dx7s any ideas

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

YOU CAN HAVE SAFE USING ANY SPEKTRUM TRANSMITTER NO MATTER HOW OLD. HOWEVER THE AR630 IS FULLY PROGRAMMABLE USING A GEN 2 AND NEWER TRANSMITTER FROM THE SCREEN. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT RECEIVER IS PROGRAMMED TO OR IF SAFE IS EVEN ENABLED

Well james if you fly upside down all the time it is perfect

[@harrylabonte689]

Hi i have the same receiver but it just flash's very slow and will not bind. It did work at one time. Have any ideas ?

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS TRY AND POWER IT THREW ANY OTHER PORT AND SEE IF THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE . ALSO TRY TO CONNECT IT TO THE SPEKTRUM PROGRAMMER OR UPDATER AND SEE IF IT CONNECTS TO THAT IF SO UPDATE IT AND TRY IT AGAIN

MAYBE UPDATE THE FIRM WARE. IF THERE IS A GLITCH OR SOMETHING THAT MAY FIX IT

[@jimmydoolitle3764]

Mine won't bind in any orientation. I tried upside down, right side up, on the sides. Nothing worked.

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

I WOULD USE THE SPEKTRUM USB PROGRAM CABLE AND ERASE EVERYTHING MAKE IT LIKE BRAND NEW THEN IF IT WONT BIND RIGHT SIDE UP LIKE A NEW ONE THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT . VERY IMPORTANT BE SEVERAL FEET AWAY MAYBE 10 FEET OTHER ELECTRONICS MAY EFFECT IT . TRY IT IN YOUR YARD AWAY FROM OTHER THINGS IN YOUR HOUSE . LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIGURE IT OUT
