AR8360T Receiver- SAFE Setup
Setting up SAFE Technology on the AR8360T Receiver takes place in Forward
Programming.
1. Complete the AS3X setup and verify operation in ight.
2. Forward Programming Setup: To add SAFE ight stabilization the Flight
Modes on the receiver need to be congured.
1. In your transmitter’s menu select
Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> First Time SAFE Setup
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with setup, read every information screen that
will appear on your transmitter screen.
Select NEXT at the bottom of each page to continue.
2. Select FM Channel-> Select the channel and switch you want to use
for Flight Mode selection. You can select any channel that is not a control
surface, throttle or gain. Select Continue.
3. Position the model in a level ight attitude, then select
Level Model and Capture Attitude to teach the receiver the baseline
setting. For taildragger aircraft be sure to raise the tail so the fuselage is level.
4. Assign SAFE to the desired ight modes. You can enable or disable SAFE
for each ight mode. Take into account your ight mode switch position,
and set the SAFE Mode as desired for the rst switch position.
• Envelope (Intermediate) mode does not use self leveling. The aircraft
will y like a normal AS3X setup, but it will be bank and pitch angle limited.
• Self Leveling/Angle Demand will make the airplane return to level
ight when the control stick is centered.
5. Set the Angle Limits as desired for the rst switch position. These
values determine how far the aircraft will be allowed to pitch or bank.
6. Move the Flight Mode switch to the other positions, a setup screen for
SAFE Mode and Angle Limits will appear for each mode. Set the SAFE
Mode and Angle Limits as desired for every mode.
7. After all the Flight Modes are congured as desired for SAFE Modes and Angle
Limits, press Apply.
8. Test y the airplane to verify the conguration.
3. Tuning SAFE Basics:
1. Perform a control surface direction test, and AS3X reaction test. You can verify
which modes have SAFE enabled by performing the AS3X test, starting at the
level ight attitude.
• AS3X reaction will move the control surfaces in response to rotational
movement, and then return to center when the rotation stops.
• SAFE (Self Leveling) will cause the control surfaces to stay deected as long
as the aircraft is banked or pitched.
2. Test y the airplane to verify the conguration in every ight mode.
3. If the airplane oscillates, immediately slow it down and reduce gain. Take note
of which ight mode you are in and which axis the aircraft oscillates around. You
can increase or decrease the base gain values of each axis separately for each
ight mode within the Forward Programming menu after landing.
4. Tune gain values for each axis within each ight mode.
