WARNING AGAINST COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS: Always purchase from a Horizon Hobby, LLC authorized dealer to ensure authentic high-quality Spektrum product. Horizon Hobby, LLC disclaims all support and warranty with regards, but not limited to, compatibility and performance of counterfeit products or products claiming compatibility with DSM or Spektrum technology.
™ ® ® Perform the setup for the AR8360T+ receiver through a compatible Spektrum Transmitter with Forward Programming. The Spektrum PC Programmer can be used for firmware updates. IMPORTANT: The AR8360T+ receiver only uses forward programming for the configuration, do not use the AS3X+ menu in the main transmitter menu.
AR8360T+ receiver for Smart Technology features. For Smart to function you must have a Smart ESC paired with a Smart telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry. An update for your transmitter may be required for Smart features. See www.spektrumrc.
7 = Aux 2 4 = Rudder 8 = Aux 3 IMPORTANT: When using Y-harness or servo extensions with Spektrum equipment, do not use reversing harnesses. Using reversing Y-harnesses or servo extensions may cause servos to operate erratically or not function at all.
XBus connector. Every XBus telemetry device has two XBus ports, and XBus telemetry sensors can be connected in a daisy chain in any order. See www.spektrumrc.com for more information about telemetry accesories. Transmitter and Receiver Binding Programming the AR8360T+ receiver requires a Spektrum DSM2 /DSMX ™...
• All channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the transmitter. Initial Setup 1. Verify your transmitter is updated to the latest Spektrum AirWare ™ software to take advantage of Forward Programming. See your transmitter manual for updating instructions.
Basic AS3X+ Setup To use AS3X+ technology with the Spektrum AR8360T+ receiver, the receiver must be set up with a compatible, forward programming capable Spektrum transmitter. • The model must be fully setup in the transmitter and flyable (actual flight testing/verification is preferable).
Proceed to the Basic Tuning section, or optionally, go to the Advanced Tuning AS3X+ sections of the AS3X+ Setup Guide on the Spektrum Wiki page. Scan the QR code to go to the Spektrum Wiki page for advanced tuning options Basic Tuning (AS3X+ Normal Gain, No Flight Modes) 1.
TIP: There are other methods of gain changes/disabling the gyro in flight. See the Advanced Tuning AS3X+ sections of the AS3X+ Setup Guide on the Spektrum Wiki page for more advanced tuning information. Scan the QR code to go to the Spektrum...

5. Set the Angle Limits as desired for the first 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.

(AS3X+) System Setup Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> System Settings -> • Relearn Servo Settings can be accessed if any changes are made to the model configuration outside of Forward Programming. If any changes are made to servo reversing, travel, sub-trim, wing type or tail type, you can execute this function instead of restoring factory defaults and redoing the entire setup.
Other Settings (Forward Programming) System Setup Select Forward Programming -> Other Settings -> • Select Failsafe -> Select each channel and assign it to Preset or Hold Last. When you select a different channel for Output, a new group of settings appears.

Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check. 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand approximately 100 feet (30 meters) away from the model.
This advanced range check allows the RF performance of each receiver to be evaluated independently. A telemetry-equipped Spektrum Transmitter is required for the advanced range test. 1. Stand approximately 100 feet away from the model. 2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter into range test mode.
d. Duration (S): Duration in seconds for HLA to remain active after hand launch is detected. 2 seconds is an adequate starting point to give the model time to climb and allow the pilot to put their hands back on the sticks.

Gain: Value given to the strength of the gyro response in relation to model movements due to external forces. The lower the value, the less the gyro responds. The higher the value the more the gyro responds. Increasing the value too high will cause oscillations in the given flight axis. Gain Sensitivity: Multiplies the AS3X+ gain value, allowing a higher or lower gain range in case the initial 0 to 100% gain range isn’t adequate for the model.
