Abstract:
1. A method of controlling an RC airplane, the method comprising: receiving data from an attitude sensor array coupled to the RC airplane; activating a first flight mode of a plurality of flight modes, wherein the first flight mode comprises: receiving at least one control stick input and adjusting at least one of a throttle and/or one or more control surfaces of the RC airplane based on the inertial attitude corresponding to the at least one control stick input; estimating an inertial attitude of the RC airplane based on the data from the attitude sensor array; determining whether the estimated inertial attitude of the RC airplane exceeds at least one of the first inertial pitch range or the first inertial roll range of the first flight envelope; and in response to determining that the estimated inertial attitude of the RC airplane exceeds at least one of the first inertial pitch range or the first inertial roll range of the first flight envelope, automatically adjusting at least one of a throttle and/or one or more control surfaces of the RC airplane.
