Hi
I am building my first Align Trex 450 helicopter.
This is a Trex 450 Pro DFC Super Combo with a 3GX Flybarless unit.
I have chosen to use a Spektrum AR6110 receiver.
I have a Spektrum DX8 transmitter.
I have watched Tony's "3GX Setup Guide Part 1 Mounting & Wiring" video which was great up to the point of doing the binding.
While I have managed to bind the receiver to the radio, I am concerned that I have been unable to make the failsafe work.
I would like the throttle to drop on the heli if the signal from the radio to the receiver was lost.
I understand, correctly or otherwise, that the AR6110 is supposed to manage this event though the manual that came with the heli describes (on Page 22) FailSafe and suggests the 3GX has a part to play.
I have powered the receiver with a 2 wire (red and black) connection from the Sbus/Bind plug on the 3GX to the Batt plug on the AR6110. This powers the receiver. I do NOT have the signal wire connected. Indeed, if I do, the 3GX does not initialise.
I do not understand the significance of the signal wire between these 2 connections.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I get the failsafe to work.
Advice appreciated.
