Beginner Profile (6-axis)
This Profile prevents the pilot from commanding the aircraft into an
unwanted attitude (like inverted) by limiting the roll and pitch angles
to approximately 65 degrees. When the pilot centers his sticks, the
aircraft will also automatically return itself to level, upright flight.
The transmitter roll and pitch sticks command a specified bank or
pitch angle, ranging from 0-65 degrees depending on the specific
movement of the transmitter stick. Full travel on the stick will
command the aircraft to a full bank angle (approximately 65
degrees). Half travel on the stick will command the aircraft to half
that angle (approximately 33 degrees). The yaw stick will command
certain motor speeds through the FLEXF3 flight controller than
result in yaw rotatio, but the strength of these movements will vary
depending on the selected Flight Configuration and airspeed.
Roll
If you apply a small, right stick command, the aircraft will continue
to roll right (right wing down, left wing up) at a slow rate until you
move the stick back to center. Once the stick has returned to
center, the aircraft will stop its motion until the next command is
received. Other forces or variations (like wind, airspeed changes
etc.) may alter the specific attitude after the rotation was stopped.
If you apply a large, right stick command, the aircraft will continue
to roll right but at a faster rate than the small stick command, until
you return the stick to center.
Pitch
Like roll, if you apply a small, forward stick command, the aircraft
will continue to pitch nose down at a slow rate until you move the
stick back to center. Once the stick has returned to center, the
aircraft will stop its rotation until the next command is received.
Outside forces may alter the specific attitude after the rotation
was stopped.
If you apply a large, forward stick command, the aircraft will
continue to pitch nose down at a slow rate until you move the
stick back to center.
Yaw
Like roll and pitch, a small amount of right stick command will
result in a slow nose-right rotation rate until you center the stick.
Once the stick has returned to center, the aircraft will stop its
motion until the next command is received. Other forces or
variations (like wind, airspeed changes etc.) may alter the specific
attitude after the rotation was stopped. A larger right stick
command will result in a faster nose-right rotation rate.

Roll
If you apply a stick right command with the transmitter, the right
wing (if viewed as the pilot) will drop, and the left wing will rise to
the commanded angle. A stick left command works in the opposite
manner.
Pitch
If you apply a stick forward (toward the transmitter antenna)
command with the transmitter, the nose will lower to the
commanded angle. If you apply a stick rear command (toward the
person holding the transmitter) with the transmitter, the nose will
rise to the commanded angle.
Yaw
If you apply a stick right command with the transmitter, the nose of
the aircraft will rotate to the right (if viewed as the pilot) until you
release the stick. If you apply a stick left command, the nose of
the aircraft will rotate to the left until you release the stick.
Advanced Profile (3-axis)
This Profile allows total freedom of flight. The aircraft is fully
capable of aerobatics (like loops, rolls, flips and more) in this
profile. There is no bank or pitch angle limits and the aircraft will not
return to upright flight when you center the sticks.
The transmitter roll and pitch sticks command a certain deflection
on the control surface. The further you move the stick, the further
the control surfaces deflect. The yaw stick will command certain
motor speeds through the FLEXF3 flight controller that results in
yaw rotation, but the strength of these movements will vary
depending on the selected Flight Configuration and airspeed.
