Flight Modes
Altitude-Hold Flight Mode
With the GPS Hold switch in the lower or middle position, you are telling the
Draganflyer X8 to control altitude. The altitude is controlled by barometric
pressure and the z axis accelerometer. You can now move anywhere in the
horizontal plane and the Draganflyer X8 will maintain its altitude. To adjust the
altitude increase or decrease the throttle accordingly. The speed of the climb or
dive is directly proportional to how far you move throttle out of its centre
position. The maximum climb and descend rate is controlled to 2 meters per
second. You still control yaw, pitch and roll.
If flying indoors the barometric pressure can be subject to sudden
change due to changes in pressure by the opening of doors. This
may result in a sudden drop of altitude by the helicopter as it tries
to adjust to the pressure difference. The drop in altitude is directly
related to the change in barometric pressure at the time. The
bigger the change in pressure the larger the drop may be.
GPS Position Hold Mode
GPS Position Hold Mode is the easiest manner of R/C helicopter flying possible.
Once you have a GPS lock, establish a steady hover, and then put GPS Hold
switch in the up position. Altitude can still be controlled by increasing or
decreasing the throttle stick.
Take your hands off the joysticks. The helicopter will hold its position, heading,
and altitude. You can input yaw to change its heading, and the helicopter will
follow your command, and then hold that heading until you give it more yaw
input. You can fly the Draganflyer X8 around using the right stick. Forward on
the right stick commands the helicopter to fly forward. The right stick controls
the helicopter’s speed in the left-right, forward-backward directions. When you
release the right stick, the helicopter will hold its current position.

Applying yaw at more than 50% rate and rotating the helicopter more than 90°
increments at one time may cause the GPS Position Hold to degrade. If you
experience a reduced performance in the GPS Hold after performing such a
maneuver you may need to reset the GPS position hold by switching the flight mode
switch to Altitude Hold and then back to GPS.
Please note: Slowly rotating the helicopter 360° while taking video should not
