- I'm super impressed with the Hobbyeagle A3 Super 4 6-Axis airplane gyro. In this video I setup the gyro, explain the modes and install it in a plane.

Hi, I'm Matt when I’m not busy working my 'day job' in tech I like to spend time doing my main hobby which is all things related to radio controlled aircraft.
On this channel you will find videos of plane builds, , model shows, flights, crashes (hopefully not many) and tutorials.

I have answered my own question by installing the A3 S4 Gyro in a recently completed model. I am pleased to report that flapperons do work. I set up my Futaba T7C to connect the second aileron to channel 6 and then programmed the flapperon function to activate on a 2-position switch. I then installed and connected up the Gyro and found that the flapperon function worked in the same way - no problem. Both ailerons droop 45% when the switch is activated and continue to operate differentially with aileron input. Very impressed. Also you can reverse each primary channel in one menu - and then reverse the direction of the gain in another menu. Ideal. Best gyro unit I have come across.
I just noticed that now it supports CRSF/ELRS 6:50 . Super nice :)
Good spot! That’s is cool.
This helped me a ton thank you!
That’s great! Thanks for letting me know
Hi Matt - very helpful video. Were you able to determine the purpose of that odd green/gold cylinder with a plug on the end? I couldn't find any reference to it in the user manual. Thanks much.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes I did and will be covering it soon in a new video.
It’s basically a capacitor that’s designed to handle and short power outages/spikes I believe. Just plug it into any spare gyro port.
I’m about to put one of these gyros in my 91” Extra NG. I’ll cover connecting it by SBUS, the capacitor and some of the advanced gyro functions. Hopefully recording that next week.
Turbine jets with thrust Vectoring are heavily controlled by heading lock gyros. The pilots and spectators that don't know any different think they are extraordinary pilots yet the on-board hardware is doing all the work. That's true facts. They would be uncontrollable to hover without them
They sure are. I think I’m right in saying all, or at least most, turbines have gyros installed
You missed out the calibration mode procedure on initial set up
You’re right, I did. I will record an update and also add a note to the description of this video.
Awesome!!!!!!
It is pretty cool. I’ll be setting another one up soon and showing all the flight modes working.
Hi - is it possible to set up FLAPPERONS with this gyro? It seems to have the necessary 2 separate aileron channels
Hi. I’ve not tried it but don’t see why you couldn’t. I’ve got another gyro to setup shortly. I’ll give it a go then.
Have you tested it in large gassers? 120cc? Is it trusty enough to place it in a turbine model?
Hi. I haven’t done so myself yet. I’ll probably be putting it in my 91” NG (electric) soon. One of my friends however has used them in a turbine model
Hi Matt, Just wondering if this new gyro is suitable for IC aeroplanes?
I have used a similar gyro (A3 v2) on a nitro plane in the past but had alot of flutter on the ailerons (gains set to about 30%). The plane was fitted with Futaba 3003 analogue servo's. The ailerons were connected via a Y-Lead. No flutter on the other control surfaces.
Hi, I've not yet tried it on I/C but I do know people who use them in turbines.. I'll be putting one in my 91" Extra (electric) shortly, and will connect everything via S-BUS. Sorry I cant help with your IC question. I would have presumed it would be fine.
@@MattTakharRC Thanks for the feedback. I think i'll stick with the GY-553 but do let us know how your 91 Extra fly's with it
@@user-hj3uf2qr7d will do. I’ve not yet started filming that video but it is on my list for sure!
Question I have 2 aileron servos & 1 elevator . Do I plug in the second 3 plug wire to use aileron & gain and let the elevator wire unconnected?
Hi. Yes that’s exactly what you do.
It's only cheating if you're in a competitive event. I love all these functions and use them regardless of what people tell me. I've flown for 25 years and I don't need anyone telling me what to do with my airplanes. I've experimented with several brands of gyros and Hobby Eagle is my favorite. I like Demon but they're too expensive.
I’m about to put one of these in my 91” Extra NG as I want to try out all the functions. I think it’s good to experiment and find a setup that works for you!
