Flight modes
Flight modes bring incredible flexibility to a model setup, because they allow models to be set
up for switch selectable specific tasks or flight behaviour. For example, gliders may be set up
to have switch selectable modes such as Launch, Cruise, Speed and Thermal. Power planes
may have flight modes for Normal precision flying, Take Off, and Landing with either half or full
flaps deployed. Helicopters have modes such as Normal for spool up and take off/landing, Idle
Up 1 for aerobatic flying, and Idle Up 2 for perhaps 3D.
Flight modes remove much of the switching and trimming burden from the pilot.
The great power of flight modes is that they support independent trims and can also be used
to enable Vars and Mixes. Together, these features allow for great flexibility. Please refer to the
Introduction to Flight Modes in the Tutorials section to see examples of these features applied.
There are no default flight modes defined. Tap on the default flight mode, and select Edit if you
wish to rename it, otherwise select Add to define a new flight mode. There may be up to 20
flight modes.
