I have been off the forum for quite a while. Has anyone managed to put safe in this plane? I want to let my son fly it. I have a spare AR636A I can use. I use Spektrum. NX10. If there's another way to do it with other spectrum receivers I'm open to other options as well. I'm just not that good with the programming yet.

But if you know how to unlock it then, there should be no problem programming it the way you want. However, I did unlock an older 636 out of an Opterra and there are many things that cannot be done with it.

This is my first tail dragger warbird in the 1.2 meter category.
I can assure you that this plane does not need any kind of SAFE or AS3X at all. It tracks rock solid and can handle wind with ease. I don’t use them at all. I use a 620 antenna less rx.
With an Admiral 3600 4s or a Spektrum 4000 4s all the way forward, the plane balances perfectly. No need to use nose weight.
Set up is as per the manual, with 30 percent expo.
Great plane. However, mine arrived with the decals already installed so no decal choice.

I use a foam brush to apply MinWax. Rattle cans seem easier and faster but it gets everywhere, every nook and cranny. I don't want to bath the servos with spray. Also, the propellant in rattle cans might dissolve foam if held too close. If held too far, the coverage is poor and you either have to do another coat or you keep spraying longer than you should and the result are runs. I think you can buy MinWax or Polyurethane in spray cans.
On the other hand, brushing it on can leave streaks and to get a nice ****geneous covering, a 2nd or 3rd coat may be desired. I just do one coat and leave it at that. I've stopped using rattle cans and prefer to brush.
