Before power on, put the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in the middle position. The gyro will perform
self-calibration and stick centering after you plugging the battery, the LED will keep blinking Blue rapidly for
about 3 seconds while calibrating, don't move the plane and the sticks until the initialization is done.
It's extremely important to verify that the gyro reacts in the correct direction before flight, or it could lead to
losing control or even crash during flight!
You need to restart the gyro after changing the receiver type to make new setting take effect.
Never use the delta-wing or V-tail mixing functions of your transmitter.
A3 supports a wide working voltage from 5 to 8.4V, HV receiver or servo can be used directly.
The radio control models are not toys. The propellers rotate at high speed and pose potential risk, please carry
out debugging and flying in open space far away from the crowd. The beginner should be directed by someone
experienced.

  • Page 2 100% all the time as the default. Wiring is as shown in the figure below. Futaba S.Bus The Futaba’s S.Bus and S.Bus2 is also supported by A3-L. Because the S.Bus is a single-line solution all channels are transmitted via one single line you need to establish the first 6 channels in the correct order in your transmitter before use.
  • Page 3: Flight Modes

    Flight Modes A3-L Supports 3 flight modes, you can switch between them using a 3-way switch on the transmitter. But if you are using a 2-way switch instead then you can only use 2 of them during flight. The color of the LED shows you that the flight mode currently selected, as shown below.

    Stick Centering A3-L will perform a stick centering automatically every time it starts, so a manual centering is no longer needed. You just need to keep all the sticks ( except for the throttle) in their middle position before power on the controller, and don’t move them while initializing.
  • Page 5 A3-L 3-axis Gyro User Manual V1.0 * Voltage Protector After installing the gyro, the servos will move more frequently than before, it is highly recommended that a reliable UBEC or ESC be used to provide sufficient working current for the servos on the plane, otherwise the gyro may become unstable by an occasional voltage drop.
