2.
Visualisation of the mapping of the selected controls mode

4.
Only on ELIOS 1: Flight dynamics choice (changes acceleration and deceleration behavior of aircraft)
a.
Angle control (default behavior)
b.
Speed control (extra acceleration and braking assistance)
5.
Only on ELIOS 1: Magnetic compass (enables more accurate reading of heading by using magnetometer)
6.3.3.1
MAGNETIC COMPASS CONSIDERATIONS
Magnetic compass can be enabled for a more accurate reading of the heading using the magnetometer but
should not be used in a metallic environment. Consider extra drift of the reading over time if disabled or in a
metallic environment, as a metallic structure will locally deform the magnetic field.
THE MAGNETIC COMPASS CANNOT BE ENABLED DURING A FLIGHT FOR CALIBRATION
REASONS. IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISABLE IT IF AIRBORNE; AFTERWARDS, IT CANNOT BE
ENABLED AGAIN UNTIL AIRCRAFT IS DISARMED.
