AS3X question

[Allister779]

So I’ve been rebuilding my 1.3m Valiant and I got to thinking about it’s setup. Mine is the BnF version with the AR636 receiver. With flaps, there’s only 5 channels being used. I’m curious, would I be able to change this to a dual aileron control without reprogramming the AS3X setting on the receiver? I know I would have to reprogram my transmitter but i thought setting dual ailerons to tie in with the flaps (flaperons) would be interesting. Also, since it’s only a 6 channel receiver, is one of the channels used to switch AS3X modes? I’m using a DX9 so I have the room on that end.

Thanks!

I believe you have to reprogram the reciever. I had a 2M wing with an as3x 636. I had to reassign the channels and turn on chanel 5 inorder to use my retracts in a pnp P51. I used my computer to check the channels that were in use. It is always a good Idea to check the reciever programming when moving on of these recievers form one aircraft to another. IF you got your pnp from a hobby store or Horizon hobbys both places should be able to get you in the air.

You will have to reprogram the AS3X as any changes in the transmitter does not make any change to that receiver.

Thanks! Given that winter is setting in I may hold off this mod. I want to get the plane in the air again before I start messing with the programming too much.

I would also do some checking as there are couple of these that are not programable. Might want to check with Horizon before you go down that road.
