wingtra One - Assisted Mode

ManualFlyinginAssistedMode
UsetheremotecontrolformanualflyinginAssistedMode.Readthefollowingsectioncarefullybefore
youswitchtoAssistedMode.Usethe"Assisted"button(5)onyourRCtoswitchfromAutoorRTH
ModetoAssistedMode.TheflightregimewillstayasitwasbeforeyouswitchedtoAssistedMode,
i.e.,ifyouengageAssistedModeduringcruiseflight,youwilltakeoverincruise,andifyouengage
AssistedModeduringhoverflight,youwilltakeoverinhoverflight.Beawarethatthereareno
extendedsafetyfeatures(collisionavoidanceorsimilar)availableforWingtraOne.
FlightInstructions
Themainreasontotakeover(switchingtoAssistedMode)shouldbetoholdoradjusttheposition
beforelanding.Takingoverincruiseisasafetyfeaturethatcanbeusede.g.incaseofbirdattacksor
ifRTHcannotbeperformedsafely.WhenflyinginAssistedModeyouwon'tbeabletocollect
images.TheeasiestpointintimetotakeoveriswhenWingtraOneishovering.Inthiscase,
WingtraOneisstabilizedanditwillstayatitscurrentlocation.IfyouneedtochangetoAssistedMode
duringcruising,itisthereforeadvisabletoimmediatelydoaback-transitiontochangetohover.With
thatprocedureyouwillhavetimetothinkbeforefurtheractionsneedtobetaken.
Caution:WingtraOnecanseverelyharmpeopleifhandledinappropriately.OnlyflyWingtraOne
manuallyifyouknowwhatyouaredoing.
Caution:DependingonGPSquality,WingtraOnecandriftforseveralmeters.Bepreparedtoreact.
Hover
FlyingWingtraOneinhoverworkssimilarlytoflyingamulticopter.WingtraOnewillkeepitspositionif
youdonottouchthesticks.Likewise,itwillmoveaccordingtoyourcontrolstickinput.
Cruise
YoucanflyWingtraOneincruisemainlywithtwocontrolinputs:rising/sinking(pitching)andturning.
WingtraOnewillflyatconstantaltitude,speed(16m/s),andheadingifyoudonottouchthesticksand
rise/sink/turnaccordingtoyourcontrolstickinput.
Transition
Usethe"Transition"button(6)totransitionfromhovertocruiseorviceversa.
Forward-transition(hover->cruise):Makesureyouareonasafealtitudebeforeyoutransitioninto
forwardflight(cruise).Thereisnooptiontoriseorinteractinanywayduringtransition!
Back-transition(cruise->hover):Theback-transitionneedsalotofspace.Engageit50mbeforeyou
reachthepointatwhichyouwanttohover.Alwaysengageback-transitionatasafedistanceand
altitudeawayfromobstaclesandyourself.Thereisnooptiontointeractinanywayduringtransition!
Landing
IfyouareflyinginAssistedModeincruise,transitionbacktohoverbyusingthe"Transition"button(6)
atasafedistanceandaltitude.Incaseoflowwind,changetheheadingafterbacktransitionsuchthat
theWingtralogoisfacingyoutosimplifythenavigation.DirectWingtraOnetoitsintendedlanding
position.WingtraOnewilluseitsdistancesensortodetectlandingandswitch-offtheenginesat25cm
distanceaboveground.Asasafetyfeature,WingtraOneonlylistenstothedistancesensoriflanding
iscommanded,whichmeansthattheleftstickontheRCispusheddown.
