A3 Super 3 Standard Edition 6-Axis Airplane Gyro with Programming Card from Eagle - HEA3S3FS

This flagship model can be used with nearly any size and type of R/C airplanes; electric or gas. This Eagle Super 3 gyro now includes the latest version 2.0 firmware.

Why use an airplane gyro? Gyros (also called flight stabilizers) help keep your airplane stable during take-off, flight maneuvers, and landings which can be helpful during windy days or when learning how to fly RC planes. Gyros also help you master aerobatic maneuvers like knife edges and hovering. Once thought to be for beginners only, gyros are now common in all classes of aircraft and are utilized by all levels of flyers. Gyros are great for learning, they let pilots practice advanced aerobatics, they give you piece of mind in less than ideal flight conditions, and they can often help you avoid costly crash damage.

Important:  There is a new firmware upgrade as of mid May 2018 that fixes a number of issues with the A3 Super 3 gyro.  Click here to download the new firmware.  The A3 Super 3 is an advanced flight stabilizer. You must have a Windows PC, know how to install drivers, and have a working knowledge of Windows applications in order to program this gyro. If you are interested in a gyro which does not require a computer for setup and programming, please consider the A3-L or A3-Pro.

Features:

• 32-bit MCU, high-precision 6-axis MEMS sensor
• Improved hardware platform and new firmware provides even more reliable performance
• 6 Pre-programmed flight modes:
• Gyro Off Mode - when this mode is selected, the gyro will be deactivated completely.
• Normal Mode (2D Mode) - This is the standard flight stabilization mode.
• Atti-Lock Mode (3D Mode) - The gyro will attempt to hold your last position by making constant corrections to rotational movements on each axis. An example would be holding a knife edge maneuver.
• NEW! Trainer Mode - In this mode you can only tilt the plane to a certain angle and rolls and loops are not allowed. Great for beginners.
• Auto-Level Mode - The plane will be brought to normal, level flight automatically when releasing the sticks.
• Auto Hover Mode - Provides the same functionality as the Auto-Level mode, except when you release the sticks, the plane will be brought to the vertical position (nose up) and hold a hover.
• 7 Wing Types including Dual Aileron, Dual Elevator, Standard Wing, Delta Wing and V-Tail
• 6 Position mode switching - this new feature allows you to switch the flight modes by using a mixing of a 2-position and 3-position switch on your transmitter.
• Compatible with most standard, PPM single-line and Futaba's S.Bus and S.Bus 2 receivers
• External LED module integrated with interface
• Various mounting orientations supported (flat or upright)
• Sub trim and travel limit settings for servos, separate stick rate and EXP settings for each mode
• Customizable hardware and software low pass filters
• Quick setup supported via programming card
• Firmware upgradeable

Which Eagle Gyro is right for me?

IMPORTANT - Please Read This Carefully

• Proper setup of the Hobby Eagle Gyro is crucial. Read the gyro instruction manual completely before attempting to fly your aircraft. Failure to follow setup instructions can result in loss of control and inevitable damage to your aircraft.
• Ensure the gyro is installed in the proper orientation (see manual) and is mounted to a hard surface near the aircraft's CG point.
• When you first plug in your aircraft battery DO NOT move your aircraft for at least 10 seconds to allow the gyro to perform self-calibration.
• It is crucial to verify that the gyro is moving the control surfaces in the correct direction BEFORE attempting to fly your aircraft. Failure to do so could result in loss of control during flight.
• Setup one of your gyro control switches (3 position switch on your radio) to activate Gyro Disable. This safety feature will allow you turn off the gyro if you encounter any issues during flight.
• ANY warranty claim for Hobby Eagle gyros applies to the gyro only, not the aircraft in which the gyro was installed.
