LEFT STICK
In mode 2 (default), the left stick controls the aircraft’s altitude and yaw.
RIGHT STICK
In mode 2 (default), the right stick controls the aircraft's horizontal motion (forward/backward, left/right).
The more you push a control stick away from its center, the faster the aircraft will follow the command.
Give gentle and measured inputs to avoid any jerky and uncontrollable behavior changes. While flying,
always keep your fingers on both control sticks to improve the reaction time and maintain feeling for the
controls.
POWER BUTTON
Turns the controller on/off and displays the battery level of the controller. Tap once to view the battery
level, tap again and hold to turn on or off.
STATUS INDICATOR
Find below the meaning of each color:
1. Calibration - Blue.
2. Operation - Green.
3. Error - Red.
4. Turn off sequence - Yellow.
5. Update - Violet.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Displays the controller’s battery level. Each lit LED corresponds to a 25% remaining charge.
DISTANCE LOCK
- Short press: activates the distance lock mode. If a distance has been previously set and is within
±500mm from the current front distance, the aircraft will use this value. If not, the aircraft will use the
current front distance value.
- Long press: activates the distance lock mode and resets the distance value to the current front
distance.
- The set lock distance can be increased or decreased with the “forward/backward” control stick.
ALTITUDE MODE
- Down: MANUAL THRUST CONTROL mode, gives direct control over the thrust
- Up: ALTITUDE CONTROL mode, the altitude is automatically maintained.
An onboard pressure sensor measures the altitude of the drone. In some cases, the pressure in an
environment will not be stable, and ELIOS 3 will not be able to accurately maintain a constant altitude.
To have better control, the pilot can disable theAutomatic Altitude Controlmode to have direct control
on the motors’ thrust, called Manual Thrust Control. In this case, instead of controlling the height, the
up/down stick will regulate the thrust power. Operating in Manual Thrust can lead to final speeds above
the maximum limit covered by the warranty. Use this mode with caution and only when necessary.
