4.9 USING DIRECTIONAL LOCK
Directional Lock mode is a mode that makes it easy for beginners to fly.
In this mode the direction you and the Nova are facing when the Nova is
launched will always be forward on the controls, no matter which way the
Nova is facing.
This means that even if you can’t see which way the Nova is facing you will
be able to bring the drone back towards yourself by pulling back on the Right
Thumbstick (Pitch/Roll).
TO ACTIVATE DIRECTIONAL LOCK:
1.
After powering up the Nova and pairing with the controller (see section
4.2 ‘Flying your Nova’) ensure that you and the Nova are facing the same
direction.
2.
Press the Directional Lock button on the Remote Control
(Refer to fig 2.2.3
on page 7 - number 9)
, the Nova will now be in Directional Lock mode.
It is important that you do not change the orientation position you are
standing in when you activate Directional Lock as this will affect the
control of the drone.
3.
You will now be able to fly the Nova in Directional Lock mode.
4.
To exit Directional Lock mode, push the Directional Lock Button
(Refer to
fig 2.2.3 on page 7 - number 9)
