Ingrid Lunau 1 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hello, I have an iX12 Spektrum transmitter and the new E-Flite Viper 90mm jet. The problem that I have is assigning a switch to the gyro. I bind the plane in the SAFE mode, which is confirmed when the flying surfaces cycle twice after binding and when switching on. Howeverthe plane is in AS3X mode. I have switch "B" assigned for this, which is the norm for Spektrum models.. Asd many times as I try, it has no effect. All channels are set at 100% as required. Dnoes anyone have an idea what the problem may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Walsh Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I had this problem setting up an AR630 receiver, took me ages to figure it out as the instructions are terrible. Whatever position the switch was in didn't change how the model responded. It required a value to be input into one of the forward programming options to make the model respond differently to the 3 switch positions, OFF, STABILISE and SAFE. When I have a minute I'll take a look in the programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Walsh Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 OK, pretty sure that I had to put a value in for the HEADING option otherwise nothing seemed to work. Full instructions for your receiver here: https://www.horizonhobby.com/on/demandware.static/Sites-horizon-us-Site/Sites-horizon-master/default/Manuals/SPMAR637T-Manual-EN.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingrid Lunau 1 Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hello Shaun, The receiver in my aircraft is one of the very latest models. It is the A637TA. So perhaps the instructions may not be suitable for my RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 You can check on your Tx Monitor that your switch is actually doing anything. Also Each A637TA is programmed to each individual model of plane that it is sold in so it should be set already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Putley 1 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Thank you Dennis, I realize that each rx is programed to the relevant model. I think the problem is that according to the instruction manual, The model should be in Safe mode to be able to assign the switch, When bound, it reverts to AS3X mode so I think that is the reason I cannot assign the switch. When I bind it, after that it immediately does the usual double cycling. However, it is set in the AS3X mode. However many times i bind it, I always come up with the same result. The monitor shows, in my case the gear switch is assigned. I have also tried to set up the model on my DX9...Same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Now you have confirmed the switch in Monitor Watch the cursor as you flip the switch, that it does move along the line. Also Where the window list of switches is showing, make sure the switch is ACT And not INH ( Activated not Inhibited ) Also for reprogramming an A673TA a lead is required. Am just going to have another read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Walby Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Probably me or my DX8G2, but I found the switch I wanted to use was not available to select. The fix was to set a new model up, go into the TX menu and assign the switch to a function/output. Then bind the RX and when you are in the forward programming the switch is available in the menu. I don't think its in the tutorials as it states the model should be flown, trimmed and set up before moving on to the forward programming bit, easy to miss in all the combinations of TX's available and might just be a quirk of the DX8G2!

Dnoes anyone have an idea what the problem may be? Reading the above OP again, quote " all channels are set at 100% " The three position switch should be set at 100% - 0% - minus 100% to access off/ stab/ safe. Also the panic mode is best set on the momentary flat bladed switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wagg Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) When I need some guidance for setting up a system I quite often try YouTube. There are various videos for AS3X on there so maybe one could help. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=as3x+programming Edited April 7, 2023 by John Wagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
