Flight Stabilization Control
The Mini Gamma is equipped with a three-position, 6-axis gyro-assisted
flight stabilzation control that reduces the control sensitivity for beginners,
limits the airplane’s angle of bank and helps dampen the effects of wind and
turbulence during a flight. The three positions are:
0 – OFF – Expert mode (No flight stabilization is applied).
1 – Medium – Intermediate mode. (Full flight stabilization with increased
control throws).
2 – High – Beginner mode. (Full flight stabilization is applied).
When connecting a flight battery with the switch set to position 1 and 2
(Intermediate and Beginner mode) is it important to allow the Mini Gamma to
sit on a level surface without movement for a period of 5 – 7 seconds. This
will allow the gyro to properly calibrate.
Finding a Flying Field
Based on the size and weight of the Mini Gamma it is classified as a Park
Flyer and therefore requires a flying area of a size similar to a park, school
yard, football field or regular model flying field. Of course, larger areas are
even more suited, particularly if you’re new to model flying and wishing to
learn. Do not fly in car parks, built up areas, crowded locations or within
close proximity to highways, railway lines, high tension cables, people,
animals or residential areas. Your flying area must be free of obstructions.
Our suggestion is that you also fly over grass as this is a much more forgiving
surface that will cause less damage in the unfortunate event of a crash.
Short grass is better for take-offs and landings as long grass can cause the
airplane to nose over. An ideal flying area allows take-off and landing from
a smooth surface (such as asphalt) and flying over grass. Note: the Mini
Gamma is designed to be flown outdoors only.
