Thank you for purchasing our products. A3 Super 4 is a high-performance and functional 6-axis gyro and 
stabilizer designed for R/C airplanes. For you to make the best use of the gyro and to fly safely, please 
read this instruction manual carefully and set up the device as described below. 
 

 

IMPORTANT NOTES 

 

   

Radio controlled (R/C) models are not toys! The propellers rotate at high speed and pose   

   

potential risk. They may cause severe injury due to improper usage. It is necessary to observe 

common safety rules for R/C models and the local law. Read the following instructions thoroughly 
before the first use of your gyros and setup the gyro carefully according to this manual. We also 
recommend that you seek the assistance of an experienced pilot before attempting to fly with our 
gyros for the first time! 

   

After power on, the gyro needs to perform an accurate gyroscope calibration, keep the   

   

airplane stationary after power on and wait while the LED flashes blue. The LED will stay solid 

blue if a slight movement is detected and the calibration will not start until you stop moving the 
airplane, however, making the airplane level is NOT required during the initialization. 

   

A stick centering is also required following the gyroscope calibration. Always put all the sticks 

   

center (the throttle stick in the lowest position) before power on the airplane, and do not move 

the sticks until the initialization is done. The stick centering only applies to 

Aileron

Elevator

Rudder

Aileron 2

 and 

Elevator 2

 channels. 

   

Make sure to check the gyro direction of 

Aileron

Elevator

 and 

Rudder

 after installation and 

   

always perform a test of them before each flight. An opposite reaction of the gyro could lead 

to losing control or even crash! 

   

It is recommended to use the supplied 3300uF/16V capacitor to get a more stable and secure 

   

working voltage after installing the gyro. The capacitor can be plugged onto any one of the 

free connectors of the gyro or the receiver.
