They are really the best stabiliser out there (apart from newer A3S3) I trust these more than any of my GPS stabilisers like Vector and inav. The planes and wings that I use the Hobbyeagle with, also get a GPS osd for navigation, but I always remain the pilot, no RTH as in my experience, that's where things go wrong and planes go missing, so I just fly it home.. The Hobbyeagle can recover from any spin, stall or attitude upset almost instantly. I can pull vertical, power off, drop backwards into reverse inverted spin, and flip balance switch and it is recovered in about 2 seconds.. try that with an F4..! good luck.. it will surface lock and spin nine times out of ten until impact. This thing is just super dependable, I have at least 300 hours with them and not a single glitch.
If you are using SBus I don't think you need to have aileron, elevator and rudder connected to the receiver any more since these channels pass over to the A3S3 via sbus. Just remove aileron, elevator and rudder connections from the radio and connect to the A3S3 and configure the channels with the Config Utility. Works for me.
Right, that's the point of sbus. I'm not sure I indicated in the video there were individual wire connections for those surfaces. Is there a time reference in the video you could point me to?
Thanks for the clarification. I never really did the research on these things until your comment. Based on what I read I have to concur with you. Thanks for pointing it out. I learned something new today.
Can I ask what kind of servos you are using? Are they controlled by s.bus out from the A3 or are only s.bus communicating between L9R and the A3? Great video by the way!
Wonder if you've ever used the A3L hobby eagle gyro? I been trying to figure out how to get it to work with sbus and be able to use a slider to adjust the gain. Once I have the gain were I want it then be able hard code it into the Taranis and turn off or disable the slider switch. No sure how to set it up. And haven't been able to fine answer as of yet. I don't want to have to fly the plane then land make adjustments ect ect.. Wonder if your able to help ? How did your flight didn't fine a flight video on your page of the gyro working.
+Dennis M I'm sure the hobby eagle gyros are configured similarly. I think they're excellent gyros for wind rejection. They do stabilize the plane well. I don't have a need to disable gain adjustment as I frequently make gain adjustments depending on conditions.
Thank for the reply. That didn't really answer my question. Being the A3L doesn't used software to help configure it, how would one go about setting it up in companion and have the gyro communicate with the rx through sbus. I think i can figure the rest out once there talking to each other. Anyway thanks again for the reply perhaps on my next plane I'll try the A3 Super II
Hello,I’m trying to hook Frsky R9:which has only the 3:wires from it,,this is for a standard flying wing,,trying to reverse my servos in configmbut once I click reverse and write,it stays the same?that is if I have it wired correctly,,,I have ailerons on output1 ele on out2 and esc to out 3.but in radio on configuration it seems wrong?
Reversing works on these units. Are you sure the communication port is open and your configuration is getting written to the stabilizer? Did you turn on the debug mode and verify the software see attitude changes? Also, make sure you have signal to signal/ground to ground.
Nucleo Since this isn’t a full on flight computer you don’t run the throttle through the stabilizer like you would on an eagle tree vector. You simply connect the throttle/esc direct to the receiver. The stabilizer only manipulates aileron, elevator, and rudder.
Nucleo the gyro only controls aileron, elevator, and rudder. S.bus only rx’s probably should be used with an actual flight controller that supports throttle management. This is just a gyro/stabilizer not a flight computer.
None that I'm aware of. Each plane I put one of these in flies fine. I believe the gyro interprets trim as user input so it doesn't interfere and that input is passed on to the servos. In other words, after I installed, I did not have to adjust trims.
I am trying to set one of these up using an x8r and sbus and can not make anything work but the throttle. Do you have any insight on how to get the radio setup? The two receivers should be configured the same. I bound the x8r in D16 1-16ch mode.
Have you bound the RX to the Radio yet? That's where I'd start. Make sure it's bound and using S.BUS. When you're done with that, put the Stabilizer inline and see if the servos respond in any fashion to radio inputs.
Of course. I bound it with jumper on 1-2 and 3-4 in d16 mode and 1-8 telemtry on my x9d+. I can make this thing work with PWM but not sbus. When plugged into sbus, i can't get it to find the radio at all. I left the throttle servo plugged in when testing, and it works fine.
The admiral is an integrated Rx and Stab. The stab looks like an NX3 stabilizer which means you use dip switches and pots to set it up. No gain on a channel. The Hobbyeagle uses software to setup and allows gain on a channel. It does not have an integrated Rx.
@@celaleddinozer144 Are you asking if you can use the Hobbyeagle in an EDF jet? If that's your question, the answer is yes. Stabilizers don't know and don't care what they're used in. As long as you're within the voltage spec of the stabilizer and you don't have excessive vibrations which will disrupt the gyro you can use a stablizer to driver servo output.
Oscar, The gyro only manipulates the control servos (roll, pitch, yaw). So as long as you're using 5v servos which are fed from the gyro, you shouldn't have a problem installing it in your plane.
RC Video Reviews thank a lot for your time... !! I used this Gyro on my 30% Yak 54, DLE 61 cc and High Torq servos 333 oz and was perfect, but you know the jet is more expensive so..... Once again thank you, greetings from Venezuela, and sorry for my bad English. On Instagram @oscarocque
Oscar, Your English is better than my Spanish. Thanks for participating on the channel. Just remember before you fly with any stabilizer equipment to test test test on the ground. Make sure the control surfaces move the way you expect them to move. Watch my EFlite Leader 480 Maiden video for an example of what I'm talking about. ruclips.net/video/0cYx69A8Td8/видео.html
Not sure how you got the "Connection Wizard" to pop up at 7:20 but it doesn't work for me and I cannot get any of my computers to connect. I am running the latest Win 10 and when I try to run CP210xVCPinstaller_x64 I get the message: "The device driver wizard was unable to find any drivers designed for your machine." Can anyone help me??
After a lot of trial and error I finally got the software to connect on Windows 10 by following the following steps: 1. Download CP210x VCP Driver for Windows 10 from Hobbyeagle.com site 2. Unzip the download which should reveal an installer called CP210xVCPInstaller_x64. You would think you should run this to install the drivers but for some reason unknown to me it doesn’t work (returns the message “The device driver installation wizard was unable to find any drivers designed for your machine.”) 3. Plug in the USB dongle supplied with the HobbyEagle A3S3, which will somehow trigger Windows 10 to add a new device in Device Manger, Ports, a new port called CP210x USB to UART Bridge. However for another unknown reason this port doesn’t work without step 4 below. 4. Click on the Port identified in Step 3 and then update the driver, using the file unzipped in step 2. The Hobby Eagle software still does not recognize the new port when the A3S3 is connected, without doing Step 5 below. 5. Connect the A3S3, open the HobbyEagle software. For another unknown reason it doesn’t see the com port, so you need to click on the com port on the lower left (but not on the icon for the port). After all of this screwing around it now works fine.
Thanks for taking the time to come back and write out the detailed procedure. I'm sure anybody else looking for this information will be grateful. Nice post.
On every plane it works perfect....on my fw190 flightline the trainer or auto level mode is not working perfect. I can not move the aileron,ruder,elevator smothly, they shiver if i move my sticks.....only in the trainer or autolevel mode. In normal or off mode it works perfect....whats the reason for that? In my other planes there was no problem.....
@@RCVideoReviews i have to try. Maybe the receiver is causual? In this plane i have fir the first time no r168 receiver in. This is the only possible reason for me, beside of a faulty gyro, but the autolevel mode is good
Yes. As long as you’re using standard servos this stabilizer can help. It’s placed in between the receiver and your servos. So it piggybacks on the signals going to the servos from the rx.

Right, that's the point of sbus. I'm not sure I indicated in the video there were individual wire connections for those surfaces. Is there a time reference in the video you could point me to?
The capacitor is not for "brown outs" it is a filter and suppresses voltage spikes and voltage drops due mostly esc noise.

You're welcome.
How did the flight test go with this A3S2 and what tweaks did you have to make in the software GUI to get it flying how you like it?
I like it. I mostly use it in stabilize mode for wind rejection purposes. It makes smaller foam planes look like heavier balsa planes in-flight.

hi dou you know how to connect xm+ receiver with only one sbus rail?
what output use for esc throttle ?
Nucleo Since this isn’t a full on flight computer you don’t run the throttle through the stabilizer like you would on an eagle tree vector. You simply connect the throttle/esc direct to the receiver. The stabilizer only manipulates aileron, elevator, and rudder.
so I cant use this small xm plus receiver with this gyro :(((
Nucleo the gyro only controls aileron, elevator, and rudder. S.bus only rx’s probably should be used with an actual flight controller that supports throttle management. This is just a gyro/stabilizer not a flight computer.
you right..thank you :)
Nucleo you can, you just need an S-bus to pwm converter, it runs inline with S-bus rail and gives you all channels duplicated in PWM.
hi, did you have any trim issues with the a3 super ii stabilizer? great video by the way.
None that I'm aware of. Each plane I put one of these in flies fine. I believe the gyro interprets trim as user input so it doesn't interfere and that input is passed on to the servos. In other words, after I installed, I did not have to adjust trims.
It is a good point with this stabiliser, you can trim all channels all you like with no detrimental effect on stabilisation, unlike Inav.
I am trying to set one of these up using an x8r and sbus and can not make anything work but the throttle. Do you have any insight on how to get the radio setup? The two receivers should be configured the same. I bound the x8r in D16 1-16ch mode.

also made sure i selected sbus mode in software and wrote the changes to the hobby eagle.
Is the throttle servo an s.bus servo? Only asking because if you have a PWM servo working on s.bus out, something is wrong.
After selecting s.bus in the Hobby Eagle, you should see stick response on the designated channels in the HE software.
What is the differences between admiral ax600 gyro receiver which one is usefull
The admiral is an integrated Rx and Stab. The stab looks like an NX3 stabilizer which means you use dip switches and pots to set it up. No gain on a channel. The Hobbyeagle uses software to setup and allows gain on a channel. It does not have an integrated Rx.

Yes. As long as you’re using standard servos this stabilizer can help. It’s placed in between the receiver and your servos. So it piggybacks on the signals going to the servos from the rx.
