Launching in Height-Mode

Caution: Launching in Height-Mode is recommended for experienced pilots only!
It is necessary to practice this flight mode frequently, because it makes it possible to
take off from enclosed areas, areas with magnetic disturbances or areas with poor GPS
reception.
To launch the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV in GPS-Mode
1. Push the HGT button on the CTR. 
It will be lit.
2. Keep the left control stick completely pulled down (= descend) while pushing the
START/STOP button on the CTR up for at least 1 second. 
The motors will start directly.
3. Keep the right control stick centered (no pitch and roll) and push the left control
stick completely up (= ascend). 
The UAV will lift off quickly.
Once in the air you will have to use the right control stick to compensate for the wind
(by pitching and rolling the UAV accordingly).
