How is the Auto-Return function stopped?
Method 1:
The Auto-Return function ceases immediately if you operate any
of the controls other than throttle.
Method 2:
Briefly press the AUX 1 button a second time.
Flight directions while Auto-Return is in use
The model always flies towards the transmitter aerial when the
Auto-Return function is in use. Please refer to the illustration below.
The direction of flight in Auto-Return mode changes if the positi-
on of the transmitter is altered.
Changing the direction of flight when the Auto-Return func-
tion is in use
While the model is in Auto-Return mode, you can influence its
direction of flight by changing the position of the transmitter. For
"Auto-Return" function
What is the Auto-Return function?
The effect of the Auto-Return function is to cause the model to
return to the pilot automatically and immediately, regardless of its
attitude. Simply press the AUX 1 button on the transmitter to trig-
ger the Auto-Return function. It makes no difference which flight
mode is currently selected.
When is it sensible to use this function?
This function makes sense in any situation where you can no
longer clearly detect the GV 3's flight attitude. For example, if
you allow the model to fly too far away. Simply press the AUX 1
button: the red Status LED flashes at a high rate, and the GV 3
immediately starts flying back to you.
Notes on using the Auto-Return function
When you are using this function, you should still use the throttle
stick to maintain the model at a steady height. All the other con-
trols must be left untouched while the Auto-Return function is in
use. If you give another control command, the Auto-Return func-
tion ceases immediately.
The transmitter must continue to point at the model while the
function is in use, and there should be no obstacles in the way.
If the model flies past you, turn round and point the transmitter
aerial at the GALAXY VISITOR 3 again. If not, the model will
simply maintain its course.
The Auto-Return function should only be used indoors in a hall of
adequate size, or at a suitable flying field.
