Explanation
InAutomatic Altitudecontrol:
Moving the left stick up and down changes ELIOS
3’s altitude.
Up increases altitude.
Down decreases altitude.
Centered ELIOS 3 maintains its altitude.
InManual Thrustcontrol:
Moving the left stick up and down changes ELIOS
3’s thrust.
Up increases thrust.
Down decreases thrust.
In this mode, the pilot has to give constant inputs to
maintain the aircraft at the desired altitude.
Moving the left stick sideways controls the rotation
(yaw) of the drone.
Left makes the aircraft rotate counterclockwise.
Right makes the aircraft rotate clockwise.
Centered, ELIOS 3 maintainsits orientation with a
drift of max. 10°/minute.
Thepilot should remain aware of the heading at all
times, as the right stick inputs are relative to the
drone’s heading (i.e. where the front of the drone is
pointing).
