Single / Dual Aileron Control
The gyro works in single aileron control mode when there is only one aileron input connected.
Both output channels of AIL and AIL2 issue the same signal for the aileron servos, just like
what a Y-extended lead works.
The gyro works in dual aileron control mode if both aileron inputs are connected, in this mode,
output channels of AIL and AIL2 are operated separately.
FLIGHT MODES
A3 Mini provides 6 flight modes which can be switched by using a 3-position switch of the transmitter
during flight. The expected flight mode associated to each position of the switch can be specified via the
configurator or the programming card. The default setting is OFF - NORMAL – LEVEL. The color of the
LED shows the current flight mode of the gyro while in use.

1. GYRO OFF Mode
When operating in GYRO OFF mode the gyro will be deactivated completely, and the airplane will be
completely under the control of your transmitter as it was before installing the gyro. This mode is usually
used for testing purpose only.
2. NORMAL Mode
The NORMAL mode, also known as the ‘Rate mode’, is the most basic function of the gyro. It works
based on the rotation rate control of each axis of the airplane. When operating in this mode, the gyro will
only correct currently occurring rotational movements, a momentary reaction will be applied to the servos
when the airplane rotating on corresponding axis, the servos will move back to their neutral position as
soon as the airplane stops rotating. The NORMAL mode can be used with nearly any size and type of
airplanes. It can effectively improve the stability and precision of the airplane and reduce the stall point
specially.
