Trainstar Mini comes with pre-installed
gyro to help control ying easily.
The switch is with 3 levels to control the
gyro. To turn on the gyro, switch to upper
position(towards you). To turn off the gyro,
switch to lower position(away from you).
CAUTION: It is strongly suggested to turn
on gyro while ying the Trainstar Mini.

Digital Trims
Throttle Unlock(Arming)
To prevent from damages, the throttle channel is locked each time when powering on
your transmitter. Follow below instruction to unlock the throttle.
CAUTION: Keep the propeller in distance for your safety.
Turn the throttle stick up to max position until you hear a "beep" sound. Then turn the
throttle stick down to min position until you hear a "beep" sound.
Now the throttle is unlocked.
Digital trims allow to adjust the centered
position of rudder or elevator surfaces.
Each time when a trimmer is moved, the
servo output will change one step. If the
trimmer is held, the output will scroll in that
direction until the trimmer is released or the
output reaches its end. When you hear a
short "beep" sound, it means the trimmer is
centered.
Binding Instruction
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the
GUID (Globally Unique Identier) code of a single specic transmitter. When a receiver
is bound to a transmitter, the receiver will only respond to that specic transmitter.
If you need to rebind for any reason, please follow these steps:
1.Keep the transmitter switched OFF, throttle joystick at buttom position.
NOTICE: Keep gyro switch at Middle or Beginner position.
NOTICE: Keep the plane still in a calm environment for calculating the gyro.
2.Connect the battery to the plane, then turn on the transmitter within 5 seconds.
3.The receiver LED will ash for 3-8 seconds to bind automatically.
4.After the receiver LED stop ashing, it means the binding process is done.
Follow below steps when you operate a bound plane:
1.Power on transmitter rst.
2.Connect the battery to the plane.
3.The receiver LED in plane will ash and then turn to solid in several seconds.
4.Switch the gyro control stick to gyro assist level(MIDD or BEGINNER).
NOTICE: Allow the airplane stay still about 3~5 seconds in a calm environment when
you rst time turn on gyro, in order to calibrate and activate the gyro. When the gyro
starts to react, means it is activated.
5.Turn throttle stick up to max and then down to min to arm the motor.
CAUTION: Do NOT operate around people or property, otherwise it may cause serious
damage!

Channels Reactions Checking
Place your plane in a neutral position, follow below steps to check the channels reactions.
Move the sticks(except the throttle stick) to see if all servo surfaces react correctly as
shown in the left diagram(left throttle for example).
Swing your plane to check if all servo surfaces react correctly as shown in the right
diagram.

One-key Return Instruction
The Trainstar Mini comes with one-key return function, which enable the plane to return
by the opposite direction that the plane takes off.
Follow below steps to activate the function.
1. Place your plane heading to the take-off direction.
2. Do NOT unlock the throttle, press the activation button and hold for several seconds
until you hear a "beep" sound, the rudder surface will respond, meaning the one-key
return function is now activated.
NOTICE: Every time when you power on the plane, it requires to activate the one-key
return function.
To use this function during ight, press the one-key return switch button,the plane will
turn around automatically, back to the opposite direction where it takes off.
To quit, just press again the switch button, or control
any servo stick(rudder/elevator), the plane will back to
your control immediately.No matter you ies the plane
under manual control or gyro assist mode, when you
turn on the one-key return function, the plane will
enter gyro assist mode automatically to help stable
ying back. When you quit this function, the plane will
back to the what the control mode it was.
CAUTION: This function is bound to the receiver,
instead of to the transmitter, which means the plane will return ONLY to the opposite
direction that the plane takes off. It also means when the plane returns and passes the
position where you activated the function, the one-key return function will NOT return the
plane back to the take-off position.

Gyro System Calibration
If you feel the gyro system is not holding the airplane to y
in correct attitude, follow below steps to re-calibrate the gyro
system.
1.Turn the throttle stick to min position.
2.Power on the transmitter and the receiver.
3.Do NOT unlock the throttle.
4.Keep the sticks as above picture for several seconds.
5.When you hear a “beep” sound, it means the gyro system
is calibrated based on the horizontal level you are keeping it.
Propeller Saver Instruction
The propeller saver keeps the propeller
from damage, and prevent the electronic
components from over current.
When the airplane hits any obstacle, the
propeller will loose from the base.
To install the propeller back to the base,
insert the upper part centerly through the
motor shaft, and hearing a "click" sound to
ensure it is secured.
