1. EAGLE A3 User Manual V1 0 Caution Notes Thank you for choosing our products If any difficulties are encountered while setting up or operating it please consult this manual first For further help please don t hesitate to contact us via email support hobbyeagle com Please confirm the 13 bit unique product series number S N on the bar code label when purchasing This number can be verified at our website http www hobbyeagle com and it is also required in the after sale service please keep it securely Before power on put the aileron elevator and rudder sticks in the middle position The controller needs to perform self calibration and stick centering after you plugging the battery the LED will keep blinking Blue rapidly for about 3 seconds while calibrating just 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 controller 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 7 4V you can use HV receiver or servo 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 be2. ay switch The master gain is just an optional channel that the controller can still work properly without connecting this channel Press and hold the button while power on the controller you will see both Blue and Red LED turn on Keep holding the button for more than 4 seconds and don t release it until you see the LED flashes Blue amp Red twice which indicates that all the settings have been restored to the factory default http www hobbyeagle com 5 5 support hobbyeagle com
