Flight Modes (Mapper Setup)
The AeroHawk can be flown in different modes. These modes can
be selected by using the Mode Switch as shown on the right (A). A
brief description of each mode is provided below:
Manual:
This mode allows for a human to control the AeroHawk
from the Radio Controller. The autopilot does however provide
assistance in that it automatically levels the AeroHawk when sticks
are released, and limits the roll of the plane.
Automatic:
This mode allows for fully autonomous flight including
launching. The AeroHawk automatically detects take-off conditions
when it is thrown at a certain speed. The AeroHawk will fly along a
predefined mission path which is setup on and downloaded from the
Ground Station.
Return to Launch:
This mode automatically flies the AeroHawk
back to its launch location where it will circle at a relative altitude of
80m.
