Flight Modes overview
SmartAP has 3 switches for modes control – one 3-position switch and two 2-position switches:
Mode Switch: 3 position switch (Main mode control):
Stabilize
Altitude hold
Loiter (GPS Position hold + Altitude hold)
Auto Switch: 2 position switch (Auto mode control):
On / Off - enable / disable autonomous waypoints flight (overrides previous switch)
RTH Switch: 2 position switch (RTH mode control):
On / Off - enable / disable return to home mode (overrides both previous switches)
In Altitude Hold and Loiter modes you will have altitude rate control with the throttle stick. Middle position means hold the altitude, raising or
lowering the stick means going up or down with the speed from 0 to 3 m/s (by default, can be changed in Control tab).
Before take off
1. Set your throttle stick down
2. Power on the transmitter
3. Power on the copter
4. Make sure you’re in Stabilize, Altitude hold or Loiter mode
5. When you’re ready to fly – ARM the system by turning left stick right-down for 1 second
6. Release the stick after hearing the long beep
