I LOVE the super 3!!! I use this gyro in my Freewing 90mm F-16, and F-15. I absolutely love the trainer mode for takeoffs and landings, and plus my 11 year old son can get his hands on the sticks for a little bit!! (With careful monitoring of course 😉)
After the Receiver in my Maule failed after only 4 flights, I discovered Horizon DOES NOT sell a replacement Receiver already programmed for your plane. You are required to buy the replacement receiver and a programming cable. As I already have the Hobby Eagle Pro 3 sitting in a box ready to install, I am going with that instead. I am also going with a TACTIC receiver instead.
Nice video. Wish more people would get off the ridiculous idea that gyros are a crutch and that it's somehow more manly and skillful to fly without. For me, the number one reason to use gyros is not because the model "needs" it, or to enable flying in more wind. The purpose is to make the model look better. Regardless of skill, wind has a bad habit of making your model look like just that. With a gyro masking the worst wind-tossing, the model appears far larger than its actual size in the air, and allows you to pull off a better scale impression than you otherwise would. You obviously still need to fly your plane. A warbird won't look good if you bank and yank, regardless of stuffing a gyro in it. And ironically, a gyro _can_ make certain elements harder, e.g masking feedback during short final. One video I would encourage making: The importance of gyro setup/tuning. Far too many pilots have bad experiences due to thinking a gyro is a matter of plug and play. Just like throws and expo, a gyro needs careful programming and tuning to provide the benefit you are looking for (without bad downsides)
Spektrum offers a programmable receiver simular to the factory installed one. In fact, you CANNOT buy a pre programmed replacement receiver for your RC Plane should it fail like mine did after only 4 flights. You are then required to buy a seperate USB cable to program the new receiver.
james forgive me but whats the difference between autolevel and trainer mode is auto level mode where it doesnt limit angles but brings wings to level when sticks released.
I hope the factory fixes the remaining bugs in the A3S3 gyro Version 2.2 update did not correct everything. I have 18 of these to replace the A3SII witch does work.
Hello, noob here. Can i put this gyro on Rx 701 Walkera reciever. Rx and tx manual says that it has a gyro on/off switch. also Can you give me an advice on choosing a Gyro for Rx701?
One important feature that wasn't mentioned in this video is, can any of these gyros be fine tuned while in flight with a gain control knob? I fly high speed DSing with gliders with dynamic wind speed conditions always changing from seconds to minutes. Without the ability adjust the gyro gain(s) on the fly (TX radio) is not a product solution form me. Can anyone confirm if this Gyro has TX remote gain control while in flight?
That's a good question. 1 is space, certain models don't have enough room in the hatch for more than a battery and receiver, so an all in one makes sense. The admiral gyro has 3 functions, while these have more. Then there are some who don't like the idea of another electronic because they feel that's one more thing that can go wrong while others don't like all-in-one because if that goes wrong you have nothing else. But the blue eagle gyro and the admiral stab plus pretty much accomplish the same tasks but with the eagle, you can mount it sideways. The red and black eagles offer more functionality
I have been looking around for a flight stabilizer that can handle a twin motor plane. For example I have a P38 that uses thrust differential and not a rudder. Would any of these be able to do that?
Most of the work is done in the gyro. It will work with any transmitter as long as you designate which switch on the TX you want to use for the mode switch and such.
@@MotionRC i meant i wanna do gyro to ( opentx input ), To control my opentx radio by gyro motion. How ? And How to wiring, gyro out > opentx radio input ?
@@junkthe Hard to diagnose via comments. But we have more in-depth set-up videos for each of these gyros. Watch the one for the gyro you want and see if that helps.
Thanks motion rc for posting this video you just made up my mind in the super 3 w/ programming card option!! Question though, I plan on installing in my freewing 80mm a10 with l9r module and horus x10s setup. Is there any issue with the way the A-10's servos are run through the motherboard and then to my receiver or is this a non issue? Also can I completely avoid the PC using only the programming card outside of firmware updates?
The control board on the A-10 will be no issue. You are just adding a step between that and the receiver. And yes, the programming card can do it all. Its a great gyro, best of luck to you!
@@MotionRC Thank you for the extremely fast response!!! Very rare on RUclips for some reason. Can't wait to try this thing out!! B.t.w. I love everything you guys sell and the support especially! Take care
What is the difference between the A3-L V2 vs. the A3-V2 , i don't have an "L" on mine but it says 6-axis. thanks for any help with this...they did not do an instruction video with the A3-V2, they only did one with the A3-L- V2. my A3-V2 has 3 pots.
For 10 bucks more and twice the options I got the PRO. Installed it on a Viper and cant wait to give it hell . Its a bad day when you pound a hole in the ground with your bird (...flight stabilization moguls are no crutch in my eyes.
none for me, the A3 pro killed my C1 chaser and mobius camera today, wont touch this product ever again, took the A3 pro out of the wrecked plane and hit it with a hammer just to make sure i wont ever try it again
I've had all. A3 pro hands down is the beat. I use it on 3 planes just for the hover mode. Awesome gyro.

Really thank you for this video. I was confused about which to get. Really thanks mate. God bless you
Glad it helped buddy. Best of luck to you

You got it. Auto level just bring you back to level if you lose orientation. Trainer mode is like safe.
Interesting but would be good to have something on Admiral
We have Admiral Gyro videos. Just search youtube for Motion RC Admiral Gyro
Wish admiral made a 10 channel Gyro!@@MotionRC
Never say never!
I hope the factory fixes the remaining bugs in the A3S3 gyro Version 2.2 update did not correct everything. I have 18 of these to replace the A3SII witch does work.

is it possible to set a3pro on full gyro mode(when i dont hold the stick the plane going straight)? Please give me answers:)
What is the default setting for the A3PRO?
Helo james,a3 super can use for turbine jet,?or gasoline plane?
hello bro,,i have delta wing,eagler a3 in which mode do i need to set it?,,i can't adjust it somehow,,thank you ,greetings,,
I'm concerned with engine vibration. Can I use Hobby Eagle Gyro (A3 SUPER 3) on a gas powered airplane?
does it has to be a S.BUS servo w futaba rx in order work,
Very good video thanks
Hello, noob here. Can i put this gyro on Rx 701 Walkera reciever. Rx and tx manual says that it has a gyro on/off switch.
also Can you give me an advice on choosing a Gyro for Rx701?
Hi how do you set this up with a v-tail elevon
Can atti-lock be used for a super slow roll, or 8 position roll with aileron input only?
At the start i was gonna get the cheap gyro...by the end of this im getting the new version of the best gyro on amazon
very good video

Yes it does.
Are these Gyro systems all compatible with my Aurora 9 transmitter and Optima receivers?
these gyros will work with anything. Has nothing to do with the type of protocol you use. They are separate additions
I have an A3 super fitted on one of my electric plane, will it work on a 30cc Gas plane ? or has anyone tried them on Gas plane so far ?
With the A3-L will it work with any transmitter as i have got quite an old one.
Yes, these are independent of the transmitter and receiver.
Good job :-)
Can this gyro used to engine plane ?
definitely. Same set-up as this, nothing changes.
Whats the advantages/disadvantages of using a Admiral with built in gyro and normal receiver with this Gyro seperate?
That's a good question. 1 is space, certain models don't have enough room in the hatch for more than a battery and receiver, so an all in one makes sense.

That's what I would like to know as well. Is there a solution for that?
Can one of these be used on a 3ch (rudder elevator ) trainer plane ? You pro guys always forget about us beginner pilots..
Of course. You can use this for just one control surface or all. Just plug in the rudder and elevator and correct for those surfaces
@@MotionRC Ok cool thanks
How do i connected this to my opentx ppm input as trainer ?
Most of the work is done in the gyro. It will work with any transmitter as long as you designate which switch on the TX you want to use for the mode switch and such.
@@MotionRC i meant i wanna do gyro to ( opentx input ),
To control my opentx radio by gyro motion.
How ?
And How to wiring, gyro out > opentx radio input ?
@@junkthe Hard to diagnose via comments. But we have more in-depth set-up videos for each of these gyros. Watch the one for the gyro you want and see if that helps.
Does a3super3 work with duel ailerons not on a y connector?
Yes it does. We have a seperate video just for each individual gyro

can we put this gyro on xk x520 ✈️ ?
im new to ✈️.
The xk x520 has its own system as it's a rare VTOL model. This wouldn't work nor fit with that model
@@MotionRC thanks for your responding.so later i have to build new ✈️.

Same here. The label on mine doesn't even have a Hobby Eagle label on it. I think we got screwed.
For 10 bucks more and twice the options I got the PRO. Installed it on a Viper and cant wait to give it hell . Its a bad day when you pound a hole in the ground with your bird (...flight stabilization moguls are no crutch in my eyes.
Is there an option that will work with twin motors and differential thrust?
Never heard of trying to connect differential thrust to a gyro. You would never want any part of your throttle out of your control
none for me, the A3 pro killed my C1 chaser and mobius camera today, wont touch this product ever again, took the A3 pro out of the wrecked plane and hit it with a hammer just to make sure i wont ever try it again
What model was the hammer you used! Lol
