5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your A3 Super 4 flight controller. Follow these steps carefully.

5.1 Mounting the Flight Controller

• Choose a flat, stable surface on your aircraft, ideally near the center of gravity.
• Use the provided adhesive pads to securely mount the flight controller. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not vibrate.
• Orient the flight controller correctly as indicated by the arrows or markings on the module. Incorrect orientation will lead to unstable flight.

5.2 Wiring Diagram and Connections

Connect the flight controller to your receiver, ESC, and servos according to the diagram below. Pay close attention to the polarity and correct pin assignments.

Figure 5.1: Wiring diagram for the Kfwfuaee A3 Super 4 Flight Controller. This diagram illustrates how to connect the flight controller to a receiver (e.g., R7008SB), ESC, and various servos (Elevator, Aileron, Rudder). It highlights signal input pins and output channels (OUT1-OUT5).

• Connect the receiver's output channels (CH1-CH8) to the corresponding input pins on the flight controller (A2-E2-G, A-E-R, Serial RX/M).
• Connect the flight controller's output channels (OUT1-OUT5) to your servos (Aileron, Elevator, Rudder).
• Ensure the ESC is connected to the appropriate channel for throttle control.
• The pins marked with "+" and "-" are for power supply. WARNING: Do not use signal input pins for power supply.
• For standard PWM receiver mode, AUX1 and AUX2 are invalid. Functions of OUT1 to OUT5 can be specified via programming.

5.3 Initial Configuration

After physical installation, connect the flight controller to your computer using the USB programming adapter for initial setup and calibration. Refer to the official Kfwfuaee software for detailed configuration steps.

6. Operating Modes

The A3 Super 4 flight controller supports 6 distinct flight modes, which can be switched via your remote control's designated channels. The most common modes include:

• Lock Mode: Provides maximum stabilization, locking the aircraft's attitude. Ideal for beginners or stable flight.
• Angle Mode: Limits the maximum bank and pitch angles, preventing the aircraft from entering extreme attitudes.
• Leveling Mode: Automatically levels the aircraft when control sticks are released, assisting in maintaining stable flight.
• Other modes and their specific functionalities can be configured and assigned through the flight controller's software.
