SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
the TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be
selected via the Flight Mode Selection Switch located just above the
right-hand control stick.
PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER
The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST10+
allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates.
Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for first-time pilots
and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean
Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for the highest control rates (best for
experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet MSL).
Or use a position in between if you prefer.
When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top position the TYPHOON
will be in Smart Mode.
Although we recommend learning to fly the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot)
Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for
first-time pilots to fly in which also features ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Watch Me’
functions.
In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the
right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which
way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left the
TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose
is pointing and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots
that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.
