Introduction The heavier they are the harder they fall! It’s a fact, and with this in mind the light and versatile Ares Mini Gamma makes perfect sense for anyone seeking a low cost, low commitment introduction to RC model flying. Your hobby budget will rarely return this much fun and performance for such a small investment, not to mention a level of sophistication that’ll have you wondering how we do it.
As the user of this product you are solely and wholly responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others. This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to possible interference from a variety of sources outside your control.
result in a fire causing property damage and / or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger. • We recommend charging the LiPo in a proprietary, fireproof, dedicated LiPo charge bag. If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe for at least 15 minutes.
Transmitter Details Note that since the Mini Gamma is a 3-channel model the rudder is controlled using the aileron stick.
Preparing for Flight 1. Plug the undercarriage into the slot just forward of the battery bay and push it right home. 2. Remove the transmitter battery cover and insert four AA alkaline batteries making sure to observe the correct polarity. For guidance the cell orientation is indicated inside the battery box. Replace the battery cover. 3. Locate the USB charger and connect it to a suitable port, noting that, upon connection, the red LED on the charger will illuminate. 4.
On connection of a discharged battery the red LED will turn off. A discharged battery will be charged in approximately 60 minutes and can be seen to be fully charged when the red LED light comes on. When this happens the battery is ready to use and can be disconnected from the charge lead. 5. Ensure the throttle stick is in the low position, with the Stabilization Mode switch in the OFF position. Power the transmitter ON, then connect the battery to the white two pin plug on the underside of the fuselage.
8. In the unlikely event that the trim buttons are not sufficient to center the control surfaces, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to open or close the gap in the U-section of the pushrod to achieve the same result. 9. Check that the rudder operates in the correct direction. Moving the aileron stick to the left should cause the rudder to move left in response. Right aileron stick will move the rudder to the right. LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT 10. Check that the elevator operates in the correct direction.
11. Clear the propeller of obstructions and hold the model firmly at the tail with the propeller facing away from you. Arm the motor by raising the throttle stick to full then lowering it to the off position. To confirm that the motor is live the rudder and elevator will temporarily move to the full right and full up position, then return to center. 12. Whilst maintaining your grip of the model, check that the propeller rotates in the correct direction. To do this, open the throttle slowly.
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.
Flying Conditions and Experience It is typically best to fly on days that are calm, especially when learning. When learning to fly even light winds can make things difficult and can even carry the model beyond your range of vision. When you have properly trimmed the airplane in calm conditions and become familiar with its handling and capability you will be able to fly it in light winds of up to 7mph. Do not fly when it’s snowing or raining.
Transmitter Pairing Pairing is the process of programming the receiver in the Mini Gamma to recognize the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) code of a single specific transmitter. If ever you find that the transmitter does not operate your Mini Gamma as it should, it may be necessary for you to re-pair the transmitter and receiver using the following procedure: • With the transmitter switched OFF, prepare it for pairing by pulling the throttle stick back to its lowest point.
