Good explanation on what can be a very confusing situation for anyone new to the Hobby. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that if the receiver doesn't have forward programming, I just don't even want to mess with it. The forward programming has been a game changer in my opinion. Thanks buddy! Keep em coming!
I agree FP is the way to go! Easy and fast (no computer needed). Thanks for watching Ken!
@@BDTennessee I don't understand. If you want to use a cable to connect your receiver to a computer usb port so you can access the spektrum web site - so you can upgrade firmware, or download programming for a specific model how would you get around that using forward programming?
I'm getting back into RC flying after doing it the old fashioned way in the 60's. Blown away by all the technology! I like the Sailplanes. I did a brief stint as a Hang Glider pilot and became very fond of the Vario but became fonder of the life I enjoyed on the ground. My Night Radion™ arrives tomorrow and an AR-637T arrives Friday. The idea of having a Vario while searching for thermals makes me feel like 13 again.
Technology has came a long ways for sure :)
Excellent presentation and easy to understand. Thank you.
I appreciate that and thanks for watching Harry!
Thanks for clearing all that up for me.
Appreciate it TonyC!
Thank you for explaining
Thanks Richard!
Amazing content. Just what everyone needs. Not even the manufacture them selfs can explain this in the Amazon videos.
Glad you liked the video and appreciate the feedback!
@@BDTennessee … hi it’s me again, and yes your very welcome. You helped me understand all these receivers for air craft. There’s just so much to be known. Just bought my first plane new pre owned mx2 3D witha spectrum 4ch. Practicing on rc simulator from App Store. That’s how I learned drone, was good enough to not crash the real thing so I trust the plane simulator being I’m a great drone flyer by now. Saving up for the NX8 and later the 8360T for an F16 or F4U warbird or Draco. Something I can fully customize.
Do any planes come with the 8360T?
What’s the most common receiver fount in BNF?
What’s the most commonly used Lipo in 6 channel planes?
great information on the receivers
Thanks for watching Duke!
tnx for the info...good explanation ...
Your welcome,thanks JCB!
ANOTHER VIDEO LIKE THIS BRING IT ON BROTHER IM LEARNING THE HARD WAY THINK IM A BIT SLOW 🐌 CATCHING ON TO IDEA LOT TO UNDERSTAND CHEERS
Thanks Bro! Its all good,we learn at different paces,main thing is to take your time and do it right :)
As always good job, you need to do video on Rflex and 6 Chanel receiver.😁👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Boss! Ill try to get ahold of one for video!
Thanks for the video ! Can you tell me if a sr6200a is compatible with my Dx3 on my vintage losi xxl nitro car ? I can’t get the steering and throttle controls to work after going through the steps it recognizes it until I’m on my last right turn for calibration and it never flashes 3 times
why is it good to have a telemetry receiver? what does telemetry mean?
AR410 is my new favorite.
AR410 is good choice for sure!
thank you nice explanation... I have no idea what I'm doing
Thanks! Ask a question anytime :)
Hello… I have 3 6 channel planes using the AR630 receiver and a DX6e transmitter and I’m running SAFE in all ,but on all the time. If I get an 8 channel transmitter, will I be able to then turn safe on and off or do I need the 8 channel receiver too? Also after I updated my radio and receiver, it show in forward programming that I now have another aux channel? ?????
8 channel transmitter will allow you to have full 6 channels and AS3X/Safe on extra channel. You can do this with AR630 you have now.Dont need a 8 channel receiver.
Recent update shows a extra channel on the DX6e. However isnt actually enabled.
If you buy a radio be sure to use one of affiliate links :)
So I bought a OMP Hobby M2 EVO - in order to bind it I need a receiver with a DSMX satellite port? Whats my best option for just being able to bind this heli to my NX8 transmitter? I'm still trying to figure out exactly what these are and why you need them for binding : ) I bought a NX8
SPM4651T. Built in antenna and more compact for heli.
I have Receiver AR637T , and DX8-hmG2 , How to set up attitude & Vario make it work !
Is the receiver a AR637T or AR637TA? Try to use auto config first. Settings > Telemetry > Auto Config
Would there be any reason in your opinion to buy a receiver without as3x/safe mode included ? Except for the price card off course 😁
Only reason... However get the Gyro you can turn it on or off,especially if you use in different planes that one you want to use and one you dont...
Always turn off with option but cant turn on without
Spektrum really needs to make a smaller reciever with safe. 630 is pretty big. Won't fit in my volantex 768-1 750mm p-51
Maybe one day. Small footprint in comparison to others but taller too...
Can I use an NX8 with a 10 channel spektrum receiver and get those 2 extra channels to work to keep my AS3X/SAFE as well as for my MIG-29 thrust vectoring set up? I need minimum 8 channels for the TV.
You need 10 channel radio... AS3X can be setup to activate and not on toggle if you want turned on.
Is there a way to turn off as3x and safe on the AR637T without using a computer. I purchased one and everytime I move the plane when its plugged in the controls move. I just want an old school type of RX. NO SAFE !
Yes,access forward programming the the radio.
Hi BD,
say, I modified my new Habu with a new spectrum 8 channel smart reciever, programmed in flperons and spoilers, thrust reverse, etc but when I went to fly it for rhe first time, my 4s 3700 50c battery wouldnt get it off the ground. By making these changes did I add to the power needed or do you think something wrong. On the bench, everything seems fine
Ed
Sounds like too nose heavy or the elevator has down elevator static...
LMNOP is not a word... that’s why I use spektrum
Thanks ODP!
Can I find the current receiver firmware thru forward programming? When I am in that function with my new ar637t, I see 2.35.00, is that the receiver version?
Yes. Current version.
Quick question, Why would one want to run an external satellite receiver, on an already very nice receiver? I am relatively new to RC. Thank you.
Helps with connectivity and another contact point.
Question!!!! I just got a Huey helicopter (collective pitch). I have an NX8 radio. Which receiver do you think would be a good choice for this Heli????
I just put the 8020T in my Raptor 50 Titan; so far everything is working fine. I have the DX8Gen 2 8 channel radio.
Spektrum has 12 channels and the older 18 and 20 channel. What receiver's gas those number of channels?
Whats the question?
I was doing current standard receivers.They do offer powersafe in 10,14, and 20 in current lineup too
Could you recommend dsm2 receiver
And can i get it from ali?
it's very cheap
AR6100E would be a option.
Hi BD. I have been enjoying all your videos and on particular have been learning how I want to setup my new vioer 90mm on my nx10 transmitter.
One thing I am not sure if is which receiver I need. I want to do your crow breaking setup that requires 2 extra channels, I have retractable gear, and I want as3x and safe. By my math I need the 10 channel, not the 8 right ?? I have both
Ed
Hey Ed!
Crow requires one extra channel. Flaps can be on Y adapter.Video i made at the time was more towards normal planes that have available channels easier. Receiver can "see" up to 20 channels. NX10 will allow 8 controlled channels and see AS3X/Safe and Gain Control on "extra channels". Here is layout i would use.
1)Throttle
2)Right Aileron
3)Elevator
4)Rudder
5)Gear
6)Flaps
7)Left Aileron
8)Open or use for Left Flap and 6 for Right Flap
Channel Assign in radio:
9-Aux3) Flight Mode Switch for AS3X/Safe
10-Aux4) Gain Control
Set those up to correspond in Forward Programming of Receiver...
I am having the same problem as others and that although the ailerons move normally, in crow, they also move in opposite directions.
@@edhenry5422 firmware issue. Need to set manual mix.
@BDTennessee yes, I made a mix and It works fine. I always want crow on this plane with full flaps so just mixed it to the full flap switch. Works fine...
@@edhenry5422 glad to hear you got worked out :)
Will a AR6610T work with a DX6i without a satellite receiver? Do i need to hook it up to a computer first to program it or can it simply bind to it right out of the box?
Simply bind right out of box. Doesnt need satellite either.
@@BDTennessee thanks
Hey BD, do you know if the AR14400T has the same capabiities as the receivers you have reviewed here? I can't find any video on programming or features only firmware updates.
AR14400T has forward programming for failsafe and telemetry configuration.
@@BDTennessee, you are more help than the makers of these things!! Thanks!
@@jaysonfarmer157 thanks bro! Anytime :)
Thanks a lot mete. What do you think about AR620.. Can be used with a jet,, just watched a video by spektrum but wasn't sure when they mentioned 800feet range was this the receiver range or the telemetry range it would be very weak in this case!
AR620 is great receiver! I have used them in numerous jets. Some of the first flight reviews i had,most of them use AR620. Spektrum has stated AR620 have 10% better range than previous external antenna versions...
@@BDTennessee thanks a lot man. That is really useful. If I may ask if you are aware of what is the normal range of rc receivers in general. Thanks a lot. 👌
@@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib basically line of sight and can see the plane.
@@BDTennessee thanks a lot
@@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib glad to help :)
How do you power the receivers when using port 1 for a throttle servo? I'm not into electric motors & having a hard time finding this info. ( I have AR630 receivers)
Thank you
Receiver battery has a battery lead like a servo wire. Plug into bind/battery port to left of channel 1...
@@BDTennessee Much appreciated! Things have changed a bit in the last 40 years.
@@bradrock7731 Agree,tech has came a long way :)
Darn I was hoping for a little more info about satellite receivers, maybe next video
Yeah,satellites is different subject. However with SRLX2 there is 2 options. Normal and telemetry version.
Hi great explanation, I too would have liked a little more explanation on satellite receivers and reasons why you would want to use it and perhaps an example or two showing practical application otherwise great video. As I often tell my wife when I’m watching model aviation videos I’m getting Edge-a-Macated. To day I did again. Thank you.
@@1toastandjam1 sounds good! Thanks for watching!
MORE RECEIVER VIDEOS THE BETTER TAKES A LOT TO LEARN AND TAKE IN MUCH APPRECIATED
Are these recievers compatible with a DX6i?
DX6i came in DSM2 and DSMX Versions. You need DSMX version for thew new receivers.
@@BDTennessee Mine is DSMX. Thanks for your help.
@@BDTennessee Would a satellite receiver increase my range with the DX6i? If not how far is the max range with the AR620?
BD:
Would you know an easy way to factory reset an AR630 rx?🤪
I've reset all the rest. Once I'm 👍 with any eflite plane, I'll give the safe rx's to ppl who need them (CLOSE friends!), & use an ar620 or ar8020.
Go into forward programming.
Other settings > Factory Reset
@@BDTennessee
I knew you WOULD know! Theres been only a couple I've seen (older twin otter) that wont 'connect'.
@@old-rcplane-phart BOOM! If its a TO (older) with AR636,has to be done through computer.
I their a way to know if it’s for a helicopter?
Spektrum has surface and air receiver. Air can be used in airplane or heli...
@@BDTennesseeokay thank you sir
