AR637T Receiver Setup via Forward Programming - Horizon Insider Tech Talk
You asked for a receiver that was simple to program.
You asked for AS3X that was easier to set up.
You asked for universal SAFE Select!
The Spektrum Product Developers listened and responded by introducing the newest generation of aircraft receiver! Gone are the days of downloading files from the internet to mimic the AS3X settings you want... or struggling your way through a cellphone based app. Spektrum Forward programming is here, and it's a game changer!
In this edition of Horizon Insider, Kyle walks you through the complete setup of an AR637T receiver using the new Spektrum NX6 transmitter. He shows how a basic PNP (Plug-N-Play) FMS CJ-6 V2 airplane can be fitted with the latest/greatest in industry-leading technology in the form of Spektrum Smart Technology, Forward Programming, and intuitive engineering.
In this video, we have three primary programming goals:
1. Basic Airplane Setup
2. AS3X Stabilization
3. SAFE Select
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. For more information on this process, see the links listed below.

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.

You’re correct, you are one of the only videos on KZfaq 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!

@txkflier Жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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

@trevorkilbey9761 10 ай бұрын

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

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)? 🤔

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 3 жыл бұрын

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

@horizonhobby 3 жыл бұрын

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).

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.

I am not able to have both SAFE and more than one other flight mode, is this correct or am I still missing something?

Please do a video on how to unlock a AR637. I paid for the receiver and would like to be able to use it in another plane, with safe. Why do you need to lock the channels in the first place?

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 3 жыл бұрын

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.

My AR637T won’t finish. Followed your directions and when I get to Apply at the end nothing happens. My screen returns to the original choice and Safe doesn’t load. Any clues?

I have been told this will work in ANY Warbird/EDF Jet from Freewing that I want??? Is this correct? I want a few the Jas-39 Gripen, F-22 Raptor, & MiG-29 Fulcrum to name a few all Freewing and all PNP. Again I have been told that it will work in any plane I put it in just want to be 100% before I start making some big purchases and I already have all of the E-flite ones LOL. Thanks!!!!

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 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Forget the forward programming, what plane is that?

@57heeler 3 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

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

How can I use the dual elevator with as3x, only the elevator channel works, the auxiliary does not work with as3x, how can I solve this?

@lucaspoole8866 3 жыл бұрын

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!!

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 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9Klmb2nnJitnqM.html
