POSITION HOLD
Position Hold mode is similar to Altitude Hold mode, expect that all of the sensors, including the
GPS system are used to hold the SwitchBlade-Elite in position. When the controls are released
to their center positions the SwitchBlade-Elite will maintain its position in three dimensional
space, even in the event of external forces like wind.
Position Hold mode is initiated by moving the left switch to the away position and the right
switch away from the right control stick.
*NOTE:
It is important to note that the throttle does not directly correlate to the RPM of the motors,
rather, the throttle correlates to a desired climb or descend rates. For example: when the
throttle is in the center position the target climb/descend rate is zero. When the throttle is
moved to say, the 75% position it will climb at half of its available max climb rate. Conversely,
when the throttle is at 25% position, it will descend at half its max decent rate.
