Drop Loop
A drop-loop is an essential part
that has saved countless drones
from failure. By utilising a drop-
loop, the main line is kept far
away from the drone’s props.
We recommend using a long
running drop loop of at least 60
- 80 cm with the bait hanging a
further 3-10m below that.
By having the bait (weight)
far away from the drone, the
swinging of the bait (pendulum
effect) is allot slower and less
violent, by doing this, It greatly
increases drones stability.
The pendulum effect this is magnified with a short drop line and has also caused
drones to crash. Short drop loops are known to swing up and cause crashes.
Flight Modes
Loiter: (Main Mode/GPS Mode)
Loiter Mode automatically attempts to maintain the current location, heading and
altitude. The pilot may fly the copter in Loiter mode as if it were in a more manual
flight mode but when the sticks are released, the vehicle will slow to a stop and
hold position.
Position Hold: (Fast Mode)
The PosHold flight mode is similar to Loiter in that the vehicle maintains a
constant location, heading, and altitude but is generally more popular because
the pilot stick inputs, directly control the vehicle’s lean angle providing a more
“Natural” feel.
RTH: Return to Home
The autopilot which is made up of navigation commands. The Gannet II /II MAX
has an Auto Return Home function if the DPS successfully records home point.
Not a recommended flight mode and should only be used if you are unsure of the
Copters orientation and it is out of sight and it is totally safe to do so.
Please be fully aware that the drone can land within a 2.5m radius of the
take-off position.
