FLIGHT MODES
ACRO MODE/RATE MODE: allows for acrobatic FPV piloting. This mode requires full manual control since it
does not auto-level and is only recommended for advanced pilots looking to start racing.
ANGLE MODE: is an assisted, self-leveling mode for beginner pilots.
ALTITUDE HOLD: allows the drone to maintain a constant altitude. When this mode is triggered, it takes
the current throttle position as a hovering point. Moving the throttle above and below that position will still
cause the drone to move up and down, but the climb and descent rate is noticeably slower than in Angle or
Acro mode. If Altitude Hold is triggered when the throttle stick is too low (such as when the drone is on the
ground), the flight controller will set the neutral throttle position to the middle position, so that moving the
sticks above center causes the drone to climb and moving the sticks below center makes the drone descend.
POSITION HOLD: allows the drone to maintain a horizontal position. Combined with Altitude Hold for the
Z axis, Position Hold can create a 3D lock. Roll and pitch can still be used to maneuver the drone, but when
the sticks return to center, the position hold will resume. Like Altitude Hold, the slower rates in Position Hold
create a gentle flight mode for first-time pilots.
RETURN TO HOME/RETURN TO LAUNCH: allows the drone to auto pilot itself back to the "home"
position, the place where the drone was armed. If the drone is below 10 meters/32 ft when Return to Home
is triggered, it will climb, fly straight to the "home" coordinates, descend and land itself. Above 10 meters/
32 ft, Rubi will stay at her current altitude as she flies to the "home" coordinates, then descend and land.
Manually disarm the drone once it's on the ground.
Rubi can be armed in any of the three primary flight modes: Acro, Angle or Altitude Hold. The other two modes,
Position Hold and Return to Home, can only be activated after she has been armed.
FAILSAFE:
CAUTION
The default failsafe, which will activate if the drone ever flies out of range or the radio powers down mid-
flight, is for the drone to shut off its motors rather than fly away uncontrolled. Keep in mind that if you
lose connection to your radio, your drone will drop out of the sky, so never fly over people, buildings or
property that could be damaged.
