The control sticks control the aircraft’s orientation (yaw), forward and backward movement (pitch),
altitude (throttle), and left and right movement (roll). The control stick mode determines the function
of each control stick. Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available
and custom modes can be congured in DJI GO 4. The default mode is Mode 2.
