113 What is AttitudeControl and how to
use it
Basically what AttitudeControl does is leveling your helicopter by the flip of a switch or
press of a button. There are different options on how the helicopter will be leveled which
can be selected in PARAMETER MENU.
113.1 Leveling modes
• Angular Mode
In this mode the helicopter flies like a quad copter. You have full control over pitch, but
pushing aileron or elevator will only cause the helicopter to tilt by a given angle instead
of rotating it around the roll or pitch axis. This makes flying much easier as you can't
flip over the helicopter. Instead the maximum tilt is limited by your stick input. (Note:
If you want to train inverted hovering using the angular mode, you will have to bring the
helicopter into inverted position with AttitudeControl disabled first and then activate
it).
• Bailout rescue
The rescue mode can be used to bring the helicopter into a safe and well known position in
case you loose orientation. No matter in which position the helicopter is at the moment,
upright or inverted, once you activate the bailout rescue the system will bring your
helicopter into an upright hovering position. In addition you set the Attitude Mode to
”Bailout rescue with Pitch”, here the system also will add some collective pitch input, so
the helicopter hovers even when you have the thrust stick set at negative pitch position
by accident. Or you could add even more pitch so the helicopter gains height quickly (for
this pupose you can also use the ”rescue boost” which can be set using the StudioXm App
or StudioX Software).
• 3D - Mode
This basically does the same as the rescue mode but difference is that it will also level
the helicopter in inverted position. Here the system detects which position is closer to
reach and directly levels the helicopter without making a turn around. This can be used
when you want to train and learn aerobatic maneuvers, like inverted hovering, flips or
