I've been trying to tell guys about servo arm length and not turning down the travel in their transmitter for years. I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows this. Thanks! - However, when the gain channel is at -100%, the gyro gain is zero. When the gain channel is at 0 (the center), the gain is 50% of the max value, and when the gain channel is at +100%, the gyro gain is 100% of the max value. The gain channel doesn't need to go below -100% or above +100%. It's been like this in the AR636 and the newer Smart AS3X/SAFE receivers, and still is with the new AS3X+ firmware. And, this applies to the AS3X, SAFE, Heading, Stop Lock, and Stop Release gains. Also, Miguel says they've doubled the gain in the AS3X+ algorithm, plus they've added the sensitivity settings of 0.25X and 0.5X. I'm having to change my setups from 1X to 0.5X to keep my planes from going into oscillation. I like to use a gain sensitivity that allows me to set the gains between 30 and 70 percent. I don't like using the bottom or top 30% of the scale. I calibrated precision test equipment for 35 years and we never used the bottom 25% of scale in our measurements. Check out my latest video on using AS3X+ with my iX14 transmitter.
oh my goodness gracious!
if only Michael Wargo had explained it like this when I started in the hobby last year!
Thanks!
Really good explanation of the reason for maintaining maximum servo resolution.
Ya, he nailed it. It's not complicated, but it can be hard to explain

Nobody tell about GPS moduls on the brand new NX8+ and AR8360T+ recivere. is it possible to see speed on the plane with the GPS module
Thank you
A little off topic question? Is there a video on how to turn on your airplane from the transmitter, thanks
yes I am about to do one on programming the system soon
