Switching between modes:
After finishing assembly of the airplane, you can test the stability of the airplane in
VTOL mode. Then fly the airplane in balance mode. While switching mode the throttle
shall be properly controlled: throttling up to switch from VTOL mode into balance mode
and throttling down to switch from balance mode into VTOL mode. You may want to
adjust your throttle curve to have a smoother transition between modes.
In VTOL mode, the airplane may temporarily lost its GPS fix. Therefore, the airplane
can't be automatically stabilized while flying in windy conditions. If the airplane is flying in
windy conditions, it may slowly drift, so more manual control needed. If you want to fly the
airplane in windy days, please turn into balance mode and fly to upwind direction then
switch VTOL mode to decrease throttle to land the plane.
