To Test Loiter and Altitude Hold:
1. Stabilize mode is at one extreme of
your three-position mode select switch on your
RC transmitter, Alt Hold mode is in the
middle and Loiter mode is in the third
position.
2. First, it´s important that Stabilize
Mode is working OK. Set the Mode switch to
Stabilize, turn on the transmitter and
connect your battery. Wait until the GPS gets
a lock. (Both the Blue GPS LED and the Blue C
LED on the APM should be on and solid before
arming and taking off). (It is even better to
wait a bit longer to allow the GPS acquire
additional satellites.)
3. Hold the throttle down and to the right
for several seconds to “Arm” The motors on
your copter.
