FLIGHT MODE SWITCHES
The SwitchBlade-Elite comes programmed with six different flight modes. The active flight mode
is adjusted using different configurations of two of the switches on the controller, the two
switches above the right control stick.
It is important to note that when in Position Hold, like the throttle with Altitude Hold, the joystick
movements are not directly proportional to the motion of the SwitchBlade-Elite. All joystick
movements are proportional to maximum programmed speed in the direction the joystick is
moved. For example: If the roll joystick is moved left, say half of its travel, the SwitchBlade-
Elite will choose its own roll angle in order to achieve 50% of the programmed max ground
speed for that direction. This can be very useful for applications like aerial filming where
keeping the ground speed constant is desirable.
