On connection of a discharged battery the red LED on the charger will 

illuminate. A discharged battery will be charged in approximately 60 

minutes and can be seen to be fully charged when the red LED light turns 

off. When this happens the battery is ready to use and can be disconnected 

from the charge lead. 

5. Ensure the throttle stick is in the low position, with the Stabilization Mode 

switch in the OFF position. Power the transmitter ON, then connect the 

battery to the white two pin plug on the underside of the fuselage. Make 

sure to align the slots to ensure correct polarity. Do not move the Mini 

Gamma during pairing. Tidy the plug and battery lead into the fuselage then 

secure the battery using the hook and loop tape. 

6. When the battery is connected your transmitter and Mini Gamma will 

instantly pair allowing control of the elevator and rudder only. In the unlikely 

event that the rudder and elevator do not operate, see the section entitled 

Transmitter Pairing. 

Note: As a safety precaution the motor will not be armed at this stage. 

Leave the motor unarmed until you complete the set-up of your Mini 

Gamma. Instructions for arming the motor are given in Step 11.

7. Check that the control surfaces are centered and, if necessary, use the 

transmitter’s digital trim buttons to set them at neutral. For example, if the 

rudder displays a slight bias to the left, press the right side of the rudder 

trim button repeatedly to bring it back into line.
