ORBIT SWITCH
The Orbit switch has three settings: Set Orbit Center Point, Orbit Off, and Orbit On.
SET ORBIT CENTER POINT
Set the center point around which the ALTA 8 will orbit. After obtaining position lock
and entering position mode, momentarily toggle the Orbit switch from Off to Set
Orbit Center Point and back to Off. The Status Light will blink white to indicate the
new center point was successfully set.
ORBIT OFF
This is the normal switch position and does not initiate the Orbit mode.
ORBIT ON
This enters Orbit mode. While in Position Mode after having first set the orbit center
point, fly the ALTA 8 to the desired orbit radius, and turn the switch to Orbit On. ALTA
8 will automatically yaw towards the center point.
While Orbit On is enabled, use the cyclic roll left and right commands to circle
around the target point. Use cyclic pitch forward to decrease the radius of the
orbit, and pitch back to increase the radius. While engaged in the orbit, the throttle
commands remain active to allow changes in altitude.
Cancel orbit mode by setting the Orbit Switch Off or inputting a yaw command.
NOTE
Orbit mode will be canceled automatically if the user
flies directly above the center point in order to prevent
the machine from spinning about itself abruptly.
