Thank you for purchasing EAGLE series of flight controller.

A3 is a flight control board designed specifically for fixed-wing


airplane, which supports 3 model types including Normal Airplane, Flying Wing and V-Tail. With a high-precision MEMS digital 【Model Type Selection】
three-axis gyro built in, it provides sound stability, flexibility and reliability by automatically correcting for channels of aileron,
A3 has a 3-bit jumper for model type selection. Please match the type with your plane from among Normal Airplane, Flying

【Specifications】
Voltage Range: 4 - 6V DC
PWM Output: 50Hz, 1020 ~ 2020us
Full-Scale Range of Gyro: ±1000dps
Sample Rate of Gyro: 1KHz
Operating Temperature: -40 ℃ to 85 ℃ 【Gyro Compensation Direction Verification】
Dimensions: 30 × 40mm
Weight: 8 g VERY IMPORTANT! Please make sure to verify that the gyro compensates in the correct direction after first-time
installation, otherwise, it might lead to losing control or even crash during flight! Power on the board, pick the plane up and
【Installation & Wiring】 check it by following the 6 steps shown below:

The board should be securely mounted in the center of the fuselage of your plane applying the provided double sided tape. ① Rise the head up around the pitch axis, the elevator should flap down accordingly; ② Put the head down around the pitch axis,

right accordingly.

After installation, connect the channels of Aileron, Elevator and Rudder from your receiver to the pins on the board marked
“IN”, pin 1 for aileron, pin 2 for elevator and pin 3 for rudder. VERY IMPORTANT! The Throttle channel need NOT be
connected to the board, just connect it to the ESC or throttle servo directly. Connect the servos to the pins marked “OUT”,
pin 1 for aileron servo, pin 2 for elevator servo and pin 3 for rudder servo, you should use a Y extension cable when using 2 aileron
servos. When connecting, please pay attention to the color of wires to avoid anti-plug, as shown below:

If the gyro compensates in the incorrect direction, reverse it by following the instructions of Gyro Reversing Function within
the Setting Methods section later in this manual.

【About Us】
EAGLE series of flight controller are completely independent development, all rights reserved. If you want to get more product
information, setting or flight instructions, please visit our website at http://www.hobbyeagle.com, any question or suggestion, please
contact us via email: eagle.koo@hotmail.com. Thank you.

【Supported Model Types】

VERY IMPORTANT! To obtain the highest performance, make sure to apply the “Stick Centering” function to calibrate
channel range after first-time installation or application of new radio system.

【Gyro Gain Adjustment】


A3 offers 3 trimming potentiometers to adjust the gyro gain of Aileron, Elevator and Rudder, clockwise
for increase, anticlockwise for decrease. The most suitable volume is determined by many factors, such as
fuselage size, weight and the power allocation used. We strongly suggest you put the gain at a lower volume
for the first flight, and then fine tune to get the best result. The adjustment will take effect immediately without
needs to restart. For your safety, please don’t adjust them until all the propellers become motionless.

【LED Indicator Description】


Slow Flash: 1 second or longer, Fast Flash: 1/5 second or shorter, Very Rapid Flash: 1/50 second or shorter.
