AR8360T Receiver- Basic AS3X Setup
To use AS3X technology with the Spektrum AR8360T Receiver, the receiver needs
to be set up with a compatible Spektrum transmitter.
1.
Verify the basic setup and trim is accurate before attempting AS3X setup.
2.
Forward Programming Setup:
The receiver is directly configured through
the Forward Programming menu.
1. Low throttle is required to enter Forward Programming, we recommend
enabling throttle cut and verify it prevents motor operation. The
transmitter will not allow you to enter the Forward Programming menu
unless throttle is low or throttle cut is activated.
2. In your transmitter’s menu, select:
Forward Programming
->
Gyro Settings
->
First Time Setup
The transmitter will prompt you for all setup steps.
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding with setup, read every information screen that
appears on your transmitter
Select
NEXT
at the bottom of each page to continue.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the orientation. Select
Continue
to
complete the two-step auto detection process, or select
Set Orientation Manually
. Verify the orientation is correct.
4. You can assign any open channel to a switch (trimmer, knob, etc) for gain,
and assign that channel for gain. You can assign a switch to a channel
from the Forward Programming menu so you don’t have to exit the
menu. We recommend using a trimmer, knob, or slider for gain, which will
enable you to change the gain value on the fly.
When the setup screens are complete select
Apply
.

AS3X Tuning Basics:
1. Perform a control surface direction test, and AS3X reaction test.
2. Test fly the airplane to verify the configuration. In-flight trim changes do
not require any further updates. If the airplane needs sub-trim, travel or
other setup changes in the transmitter programming, select
Forward Programming
->
Gyro Settings
->
System Settings
->
Relearn Servo Settings
after making the needed changes.
3. Oscillation occurs because the system is overshooting the correction, and
will usually occur at higher speeds. If the airplane oscillates, immediately
reduce speed and lower the gain value. Take note of which axis the
aircraft oscillates around; you can increase or decrease the base gain
values of each axis separately within the Forward Programming menu
after landing.
4. Increase the gain values until you find oscillation, and then reduce the
gain to the highest setting that will not cause oscillation at any speed.
This value will help the airplane track accurately and fly smoothly in
wind and turbulence.
