Kim Taylor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Posted by David Soper on 23/06/2016 18:33:30: Hi I have been flying the Apprentice 15e for a few months,.................................................................................................................................................................................... we can hear the servos constantly working when AS3x is enabled. Can the reciever in the E Flight Apprentice be programmed to disable the gyros? Hi again David, As I previously posted, I fitted an AR610 which I got cheap from SMC. It certainly makes it harder work in gusty conditions (not having the AS3X) but it's manageable. Be careful when you swap the receiver out to check the control orientation - the AR610 gives reversed aileron movement compared to the std. RX. Guess how I found out!!! Fixed and back in the air since, but very embarrassing at the time - I won't do that again! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Soper Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 hi... i thought as much... Its an E Flight receiver and i guessed AS3x is built into the software... h He asked a valid question (my flight instructor) he wanted to know how i would fly without AS3x as my next model proberbly would not have it .

David Soper Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi Kim guess what... i lost my first model.... because being a newbie i did not notice in instruction book... the panic switch is reversed .. why the hell didnt they make that in red in the DX6 that AUX is reversed ... i could not work out why i had no control!.... thank for your tip should i change the RX which i was thinking of doing... my guiding hand can make this model do basic aerobatics... so he said why do i need another model yet.. fair point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hopkin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why do you need another model, well you dont buuuuuuuuut Its always handy to take two models to the field if your there for the day... if anything happens to one you have another to fly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Soper Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Good point Dave, i live close to field so not a problem,... but i will need to try and expand my flight skills at some point, and a trainer will not do that.. its just knowing when to go to the next level.
