Autopilot System
The Galaxy features a commercial grade 6 axis autopilot system (Jupiter Plus), the autopilot
has many configurations that can be adjusted to customise the parameters to accommodate
the end user requirements. Always use caution when changing the settings from the default
value and communicate with your distributer for advice before making any changes.

Battery Low
There are two stages to the voltage failsafe.
Stage 1
The battery low will be indicated by a red flashing LED and a warning message that will
display on INF Planner or I-GCS.
Stage 2
The Galaxy will begin to return home when this is activated, the stage 2 failsafe does not
consider the distance from home, so it is important that cautious battery monitoring
is conducted during all flights. BVLOS or Corridor missions we recommend that stage
2 is disabled. This is due to the fact the Galaxy could be far from the original take off
location when RTL (Return to launch) is activated, in most cases there would not be
enough battery capacity to return to this location safely.
Battery Low Override
If at any time during the flight stage 2 is activated automatically the Galaxy will stop and
climb to a minimum set height or stay at the current height if above the threshold and begin
to return to the GPS location that it took off from where it will begin to autonomously land.
If the Pilot in Command (PIC) wishes to override the failsafe and take back control of the
flight, use the momentary AP mode switch on the GCS, press this for 2 seconds to change
the flight mode from GPS lock to Attitude. This will change the flight mode from GPS lock to
