8) Disarmed Status
This section shows if the aircraft is armed or disarmed.
Arming the Aircraft and Setting the Control Position
To control the aircraft, the controller needs a neutral position around which you will be able to move your con-
troller. This position is set once you press on the main arming button. This means that you can control your
aircraft in any position you would like. However, we recommend keeping your forearm parallel to the ground
to have the best antenna radiation performances.
Controlling the Drone with Vector and Choosing the Flight Mode
The drone is controlled according to the following diagram. There are three flight modes available as exposed
below. Flight modes only have an influence on the pitch and roll control axis. Yaw and throttle behave the same
in all flight modes.
Flight Mode 1: Angle Mode
In this flight mode, the drone follows the angle of your hand on both the roll and pitch axis. This means that if
you bring your hand back to the neutral position, the drone will always be leveled horizontally. This is a great
mode to start flying and understanding how to pilot your aircraft.
Flight Mode 2: Acro Trainer Mode
This mode will help you understand how the Acro mode works. It works just like acro mode 3 except that the
drone is limited to a 30 degrees bank angle on both the pitch and roll axis. This will help you avoid a crash while
learning to fly in acro mode.
Flight Mode 3: Acro Mode
In this mode, instead of controlling the angle of your drone, you control its angular velocity. This means that the
more control input you give, the faster the drone will rotate around this axis. This mode gives you full control
over your drone and allows doing impressive maneuvers.
