Spektrum AS3000
Anybody using the AS3000 in their jet? I used the Powersafe 20 channel receiver in my BVM Cougar with a Demon Cortex and saw this might be a simple fit. I really like the receivers with AS3X built in and was just wondering what people thoughts were on this.

The only experience I have is with the 9350 receivers which, I assume, use the same gyro board. It sure keeps my foamy F-4 stable. I like the fact that it’s a simple 4 lead wire plugged into the side of the receiver instead of all those wires going through the cortex. Our jets use such high powered servos and a bunch of them, I just worry about the amps going through these stabilization systems

'Using these on two jets now and adding to a third jet soon. I really like them and just now activated the nose gear gyro on my BVM Bandit. The only thing is that compared to the iGyro you cannot have a GPS receiver to have automatic compensation for jet speed in the air. What I was able to do is make a mix that doubled the rates when both the gear was down and the flaps were set to landing mode. Price was not a consideration but the insignificant weight was important. Unless I need a super special set up the AS3000 is the way to go.

What transmitter are you using? I have a DX20 and a couple of the AS3000's and would like to know how to do this. PM me if you feel this is off topic, but that mix to get two rates is interesting to me and I don't even know where to start honestly.
Thanks!

Any mix to the gain channel(s) will change the gain. A positive value will increase gain for rate mode controls (non-Heading Hold (HH)) while a negative value decreases gain for rate mode channels. For HH controls, a negative value from the mix will increase HH gain while a positive value will decrease HH gain.
A typical mix to Aux3 when Aux3 has been specified as the gain channel for one or more controls in Rate mode looks like this:
ON--> Aux3 10% 0% select switch and switch position of choice. Increases Rate gain by 10%
A negative value decreases Rate gain..
A typical mix to Aux3 when Aux3 has been specified as the gain channel for one or more controls in HH mode looks like this:
ON -->Aux3 -10% 0% select switch and switch position of choice. Increases HH gain by 10%..
A positive value decreases HH gain.

I use the DX18G2 and here is the mix I used. The Forward Programming setup has 20% "normal" gain already programmed in.
X+1 is the gyro channel on switch B for off, low and higher gain settings on the 3 position switch. All are "normal" no heading hold.
Landing gear is on A and flaps on D. The AND/OR combo condition is the the gear must be down and the flaps on the Landing setting. Both must be "on" for the mix to boost the gyro setting for landing.

So how many gain settings do you have, 2 or 4?
Do you use both a low and high gain setting for normal flying?
What position is B in for landing? If in low does it go to low + some boost when A and D are activated? Likewise if B is in high does it go to high + some boost?
Or does it default to the normal high setting whenever A and D are on? If that's the case then why do you need high on switch B?

We’re you able to use it directly out of the box or did you have to upload the latest and greatest software? Sorry I was referencing the 20 ch receivers which need to be updated prior to being able to use the AS3000, in addition to updating the transmitters to include forward programming.
