Thanks for this concise review of AS3X and SAFE. Spektrum’s doc’s aren’t written for newbs like me. Your vid very much cleared up for me what these tech’s are and what they are for.

When I got back into the hobby I flew a P-51 made by Volentex RC, it had a (knockoff) SAFE mode that worked very well for such a small aircraft and helped me build my skills. The aircraft had a intermediate mode which allowed full control of the elevator but not the airleons and I used that for more advanced flight. Unfortunately with the models being about 400mm in wingspan they were too unstable to fly without stabilization and I moved on from that aircraft.

Had no idea as3x was a go between, between safe and normal, now I know, thank you Sir. Now if i could just get HH to supply me with a data sheet to show me what these BNF templates are actually changing in the programming templates. I mean i didn't even know what switch my Safe, AS3X were assigned to. I mean I thought AS3X was normal flight mode, now I understand with your help why they put it on a 3 position switch! Thanks again, take care 😊 18:24

My thanks for the info - belated in my case as it is your video which has finally informed as to why I cannot set up AS3X on my AR637R receivers. Being new to the hobby I thought ALL AR637R receivers had AS3X built in. Is there anything I can do other than spend even more hard earned cash?

I honestly think as3x makes it much bumpier and unstable in the wind with umx planes. Unless i only have faulty servos? I'm speaking of the umx waco.

Tim I have another question for you I'm building another guillos model and the receiver I'm using is the one for the WL toys Cessna f949s which includes stabilization which can be switched on and off by the receiver by the transmitter if I shut off the stabilization will I be able to orient the receiver board on the side of the airplane like I wanted to or does it have to be laid flat on the fuselage? I don't know if it has anything comparable to as3x if that's the case does that mean it's always on even in the unstabilized mode in which case I guess I have to lay the board flat on the fuselage. Do you get the gist of my question? I can't seem to get an answer anywhere else thank you
