‘loiter’ mode

‘loiter’ automatically attempts to maintain the current location, heading and altitude. 
The pilot may fly the Hoverbike Drone in ‘loiter’ mode as if it were in ‘manual’ mode. 
Centering

 

the sticks (pitch, roll, yaw) will continue to hold position. good gpS signal, 

low magnetic interference on the compass and low vibrations are all important in 
achieving good loiter performance.
the pilot can control the position of the hoverbike drone with the control sticks.

•  Horizontal location can be adjusted with the Roll and Pitch control (right) stick with 

the default maximum horizontal speed being 5m/s. when the pilot centres the 
sticks the hoverbike Drone will slow to a stop.

•  Altitude can be controlled with the throttle control stick as in Althold mode
•  The heading can be adjusted with the Yaw control stick

‘Stabilize’ mode

Some level of experience is necessary for this mode.

•  Stabilize mode allows you to fly your vehicle manually, but self-levels the roll and 

pitch axis. Pilot’s roll and pitch input controls the flight angle of the Hoverbike 
Drone.  when the pilot centres the roll and pitch stick, the vehicle automatically 
levels itself.

•  pilot will need to regularly input roll and pitch commands to keep the vehicle in 

place as it is not being held in position with gpS as in ‘loiter’ mode.

•  pilot’s yaw input controls the rate of change of the heading.  when the pilot releas-

es the yaw stick the vehicle will maintain its current heading.

•  pilot’s throttle input controls the average motor speed meaning that constant ad-

justment of the throttle is required to maintain altitude.  If the pilot puts the throt-
tle completely down the motors will go to their minimum rate and, if the vehicle is 
flying, it will lose altitude control and tumble.

‘Acro’ mode

high level of experience is necessary for this mode.

‘Acro’ mode (‘Rate’ mode) uses the radio transmitter sticks to control the angular veloc-
ity of the hoverbike Drone. Release the sticks and the vehicle will maintain its current 
attitude and will not return to level. ‘Acro’ mode is useful for aerobatics such as flips or 
rolls, or aerial photography (fpv) when smooth and fast control is desired.

the throttle is completely manual with no compensation for tilt angle of the vehicle.  if 
the pilot puts the throttle completely down the motors will go to their minimum rate.

Warning: ‘Acro’ is the most difficult flight mode to master and you can look forward to 
crashing multiple times before you get the hang of it. if you are unexperienced, please 
research more on ‘Acro’ mode.
