30.2 Basic mode

> The basic mode is designed specifically for users who are new to flying multirotor
systems and those who look for intuitive controls for aerial photography.
> The controls respond less aggressively. This behaviour is intentional, allowing pilots to
get a first feeling of how the »NovaX 350 responds to lever input.
> AUTO-LEVELLING is enabled. It means that if the pilot lets go of the aileron and
elevator control stick, the »NovaX 350 regains a relative horizontal level position. Small
drifts in any direction are normal, especially during not fully calm conditions.
> We recommend this mode when you intend to use a camera or FPV equipment. Motor
power is restricted for smoother operation and less aggressive behaviour, which is
beneficial to scenery capture.
