Manual Control, Tracks, Spot-Lock, and Cruise Control/AutoPilot.

section of the remote do not require a GPS signal to operate and give you full, immediate control over steering,
speed and prop functions similar to a
CoPilot
. All other buttons require a minimum GPS signal strength of one bar in order to operate.
Buttons located in the
Tracks
section are used for track recording and playback.
Spot-Lock
buttons are located in the Spot-Lock
section.
Cruise Control/AutoPilot
are located in the
Cruise Control/AutoPilot
section.
