A3 Mini supports PPM and multi-protocol digital serial receivers which allows you to connect the receiver to [Serial RX] with only one single wire.

Refer to the table below and check if your radio transmits the channels in the correct order.
Most flying-wings have no rudder, in this case, [RUD] is unnecessary to connect. FLIGHT MODES A3 Mini provides 6 flight modes which can be switched by a 3-position switch of the transmitter during flight.
