Spektrum Smart Receiver AS3X Setup Series #4 - AS3X Gains Explained

Join fellow RC enthusiast and Spektrum Technical Director John Adams for our simple to follow setup tutorial series. It is our goal in this series to quickly and simply instruct RC pilots how to setup AS3X on the AR637T.

In the fourth video in the Basic AS3X Setup series John covers the basics of tuning AS3X utilizing Forward Programming and a gain channel selection.

- Please note - These instructions apply to setting up the AR637T, AR637TA (must be unlocked) AR630, AR631, AR8360T and AR10360T AS3X Safe receiver.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, this video was very helpful, I wish I could say the same about the other videos in this series.

How would you adjust the gains without the knob like in the DX6.

[christalcott]

What if I only get oscillations on one axis?

[scottairshows]

Followed instructions to the letter using DX8G2 and stabilization doesn't work. Video led me to believe Flight mode 1 would put into play the default gain values. Help!

When you say you need to switch throttle cut to get back to forward programing then my nx10 starts over from the beginning, so I have to start all over. I am confused how to go back to forward programing and not have to start all over. Please help! Thank You,
Albert Huth

I take it to do all the adjustments and to to be able to use the programme to the full then I will need a larger radio than an DX6?

Hi, quick question so that I’m understanding. I need 2 separate channels - 1 for Flight Mode switch, and 1 for again Adjustment (RKnob) - correct?

I’m using an 8360T and am using all the servo ports for control surfaces. I thought the AS3X stuff existed in “virtual” channels between the tx and rx.

So I have to give up 2 of my control surfaces in order to set up AS3X the way it’s explained in the video? Is that correct?

[bilstoc]

I have an AR8360T installed into a MPX Lentus glider. The motor is set to a three position switch. To initiate the AS3X you say to throttle up. Will that work if you have a switch instead of the throttle lever controlling the motor? Cheers

My DX6E does not have enough or a slider how am I going to adjust all this stuff???

Which Spektrum transmitters can use forward programming. I have a Spektrum DX6. It's the black transmitter that is newer

[joenaylor]

First time user: pretty confusing that there are two "gains adjustments", one setup on a knob and one toggled by flight mode. Actually I do not understand what is going on here. Is it that the gains set by the flight mode are the maximum allowed for each of the flight modes, while the gains set by the knob dial down the maximum to be stable in flight?

[janrc]

I usually use 80% for roll, pitch and it works very well for my Turbo Timber and EC-1500.

[scottairshows]

After countless hours and expert help I so badly want to vent here, but I will continue to try. problem is I have so many models and the sequence never seems to work the same

[ces]

Very disappointed ....so many hurdles...I have a dx6e...and trying to get an AR630 programed....so is safe not going to work with this????

[g.meyers]

The should have put the number value on the screen when you select the gain know. It is all guess work if you did it right. I did not get my knob to work every time and had to adjust it manually.

[dennissumnerdsumner]

What about adjusting gain sensitivity? I see you can go from 1x to 4x. Thanks.

[aeromustang]

These video's are like watching grass grow!

[SPZZ]

At 54 seconds you start to explain what the gains "represent", and then immediately switch to how to adjust it with the knob. You never explain the gains. What about Head Gain and Priority?

[MikeMillerDrones]

The title of this video says "gains explained". Amazing that you went through the whole video and never explained what gains are.
