Best tutorial that I have found on SAFE and ASX for Spektrum!

Was very scared of spending the money on this iX14... after getting one and spending time with it, so glad that i did.

So many great attributes to this thing. Veryvery very happy with the simplicity and the absolute ease of use in contrast to the nx8

Hello BD. I must say your channel as greatly helped me with using my NX8. I like how you explain what a given adjustment/function does when adjusted or not. Lord bless and the keep you sir! A flying brother from NJ.

Excellent! Answered many questions I had on gains.

[bobcole]

Very helpful indeed. Thank you for your effort.

Truly a huge help and very well done instruction video!!! Thanks

[INCABRC]

Thank you for the informative and easy to follow instruction 😊I’m sure I will watch these a few more times as I go along.

Great video, thank you for posting it.

One thing I found when setting up AS3X is that it won’t actually activate till the throttle goes above some threshold, I think it’s 25% or so for a couple of seconds. I’ll have everything set right in forward programming, then move the plane around to test and the flight surfaces don’t move. This is correct - increase throttle (making sure throttle cut is not cut), then AS3X is active and the flight surfaces will move in reaction as expected.

Can’t tell you how many times this has frustrated me when setting up. I think it’s all set, but no actual movement. Throttle up, try again, it all works.

Of course, take the prop off an electric plane when doing this to avoid runaways and injuries!

@BD Tennessee, awesome stuff as always. Keep 'em coming!!

I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you. The question I have is when I go to forward programing with throttle cut on I keep getting “navigation timed out” what can I do to get into forward programing

[INCABRC]

Question, I have an AR20310T DSMX 20-Channel PowerSafe receiver with the AS3X module option. I mounted the receiver and AS3X module to a removable board. I would like to use this in three of my larger airplanes. Is it as simple as a different setup for each plane and does the AS3X forward programming parameters I assigned stay with that model memory? I realize I need to bind the receiver to the other aircraft memory but I’m not certain if the save includes the AS3X information automatically with that save. Thanks in advance for the response. Just learning the IX14 and AS3X forward programming 😊

I also can’t find gyro settings in forward programming.
I have a Carbon Cub S2 RTF plane. It came with a Spektrum DXS transmitter and an installed SPM4650C receiver. I purchased another Spektrum ix14 transmitter to buddy box these two transmitters. The Ix14 is an instructor’s transmitter, and the DXS is a student’s one. I managed to buddy box them with all the functionality except I cannot find how to change the flight modes on the instructor’s ix14 transmitter. After I select Forward Programming I do not get the next screen with Gyro Settings as in your video, but the message “Connecting….” and “Navigation Time Out” afterward.

With the 14 & 20, 'jailbreaking' a used rx is much easier than using a computer. I found this by accident (I've not used safe/gyro in 3 years, since I discovered I didn't need it, after my 2nd month of getting back into flying after a 20yr break).

[robertchapman]

BD, do I need to set up AS3X .
Or can Iby-pass it and simply set up safe using mode 1 beginner, mode 2 intermediate , and mode 3 for advanced. I'm just a bit confused there. You covered everything else very nicely.

My AR10360T is bound to my iX14 and my model is all set up (all flight controls, throttle, throttle cut, flaps, landing gear are working correctly), but when I select forward programming on my transmitter, all I get is the following message: Navigation Timed Out. I don't know what to do at this point.

What if i have a as3x receiver that was in another plane. But i want to use it in another. How would i set it up on the spektrum ix14

[Price]

Hey BD, I’ve watched this video at least 10 times and I’m stuck . On my nx-10 I downloaded my eflight viper 90 to my ix-14. My problem is the As3x is set, I want run a first time set up with adjustable gains, and I can’t find where or how ?
All I’m getting when I go into forward program. Is gyro option then it shows As3x, I can’t see anything other options.
Appreciate your help BD
Blessings 💥

I have a strange problem with this setup on which i wanted to ask your advice. This is plane number 5 for which i setup AS3X/Safe. In this setup i am using the AR637TA on which i did a factory reset. Then i followed your video step by step. I put the selection on the right slider of my IX20. Up is Safe, middle should be AS3X and down is Safe/AS3X off. Now the problem is that up and down position work as usual but in the middle i am not getting AS3X. I throttled up the motor, made sure all travel settings are on 100% and did a re bind of the receiver. I even did another factory reset and went through the whole procedure again. But i can not get AS3X to work. Do you have any suggestions that i should try ?

I have an ix 12 and there is no forward programming option
