FLIGHT MODES
A3 Pro V2 provides 6 flight modes which can be switched by a 3-position switch of the transmitter during
flight. The factory default mode allocation of the switch is
OFF - NORMAL - LEVEL
. You can change the
settings in the
Setup Menu
according to your needs. The color of the LED shows the current flight mode
of the gyro while in use.

1. GYRO OFF Mode
When operating in
GYRO OFF
mode the gyro will be deactivated completely, and the airplane will be
completely under the control of your transmitter as it was before installing the gyro. This mode is usually
used for testing purpose only.
2. NORMAL Mode
The
NORMAL
mode, also known as the ‘
Rate mode
’, is the most basic function of the gyro. It works
based on the rotation rate control of each axis of the airplane. When operating in this mode, the gyro will
only correct currently occurring rotational movements, a momentary reaction will be applied to the servos
when the airplane rotating on corresponding axis, after rotation the servos will move back to their neutral
position as soon as the airplane standing still immediately. The
NORMAL
mode can be used with nearly
any size and type of airplanes. It can effectively improve the stability and precision of the airplane and
reduce the stall point specially.
3. LOCK Mode
The
LOCK
mode is also known as the ‘
Attitude Lock mode
’, ‘
3D mode
’ or ‘
AVCS mode
’. Different from
NORMAL
mode, the gyro will perform a permanent correction for rotational movements on each axis
constantly. That is when you release the sticks the airplane will stop and lock its current position
immediately. This mode is well suited for practicing basic 3D maneuvers such as hovering or knife edge.
Since it can help you to lock the attitude of the airplane, it is also helpful for landing.
4. ANGLE Mode
(Former Trainer Mode)
