16. Flying in headless mode
The quadrocopter's direction of movement always depends on the direction in which the model is oriented with respect
to the pilot or the side from which the pilot is looking at the quadrocopter. Therefore, you can be confused quickly when
you see the model from the side or the front, not from behind. For this reason, the quadrocopter has been equipped
with headless mode.
However, the quadrocopter should necessarily be oriented in the desired forward direction before switching on (see
white arrow in Figure 17A) in order to effectively use the headless mode.
For as long as the model pilot stands exactly behind the quadrocopter and looks in the predefined forward direction,
the quadrocopter will respond from the pilot's perspective just as the pilot steers the transmitter. When steered for-
ward, the quadrocopter also flies forward from the pilot's perspective (see dark arrow in Figure 17B).
If the quadrocopter has turned 90 degrees to the left in flight so that its left side is oriented to the pilot, it will fly to the
left from the pilot's perspective when the transmitter is steered forward (see dark arrow in Figure 17C).
If headless mode is enabled, it does not matter in which direction the front of the quadrocopter is oriented. When the
transmitter is steered forward, the quadrocopter always flies in the direction that is set as forward when switching on
(see dark arrow in Figure 17D).

To switch on the headless mode, briefly press the push
button for the headless function (6) (see also Figure 1, no.
6). The transmitter will emit a short beep to signal the ena-
bled headless mode and the green LED at the rear of the
quadrocopter (see Figure 8, no. 3) will flash slowly. The
quadrocopter is now flying in headless mode.
To switch off the headless mode, press the push button for
the headless function (6) again. The quadrocopter is now
flying in normal mode again.
