WHAT IS YAW?
Yaw is the rotation of an aircraft about its yaw-axis that causes a change in heading. This can be thought of as the
direction the front of the aircraft is pointing.
Pitch/Roll stick
The Pitch and Roll stick is also a two-axis joystick. It controls both the pitch (up/down movement) and roll
(left/right movement) of the aircraft. You’ll notice both sticks are spring loaded, causing them to always spring
back to the center.
WHAT IS PITCH?
Pitch is the angle of an aircraft about its pitch-axis that causes a forward/back change in the position of the
aircraft. This can be thought of as moving the aircraft forwards and backwards, just like a car.
WHAT IS ROLL?
Roll is the angle of an aircraft about its roll-axis that causes a left/right change in the position of the aircraft.
Flight Mode Switch
The flight mode switch allows you to command the aircraft to change between different modes. The switch has
three possible positions and is setup as follows;
Position 1 (Back) – Altitude Hold Mode
Position 2 (Middle) – Loiter Mode
Position 3 (Forward) – Auto Mode
The flight mode switch will be identifiable by either a yellow or green indicator over the switch stem.
