The vehicle can be controlled using the right side joystick (7). To activate joystick control, switch the flight
mode switch (1) to POSITION mode. In this mode, the vehicle will fly in a straight line at its current altitude
until a joystick command is received.
Moving the joystick left or right will make the vehicle change direction.
Moving the joystick forward or backward controls the altitude of the vehicle. A forward (up) joystick
movement moves the nose of the vehicle down and decreases altitude. A backward (down) joystick
movement pulls the nose of the vehicle up and increases altitude.
If the vehicle loses connection to the DeltaQuad Controller while it is flying in POSITION mode, it will
automatically return home, regardless of the
NOTE: for inexperienced pilots, the joystick controls can seem counterintuitive. It is
recommended to practice joystick operation in close proximity while flying at sufficient altitude.
Target following
While the vehicle is flying a mission, target following mode can be used to reposition the vehicle by actively
following a target.

Changing flight speed
The DeltaQuad Pro #VIEW is configured for a standard cruise speed of +- 16 meters per second at sea
level. As the altitude increases, the air density reduces and the speed is increased. Using the flight speed
dial (3), you can increase the flight speed.
NOTE: increasing your flight speed can significantly reduce the maximum flight time. Always start
your flight with the flight speed dial at the minimum value, only increase as needed.
Changing altitude
While the vehicle is in POSITION, HOLD, or TARGET FOLLOWING mode, the altitude can be changed by
