l ocated on the ri ght side of the ST10+ a ll ows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best

f or first-time pilots and required when fly

i ng between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for the highest control rates (best fo r expe ri enced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet AMS L ). Or use a position in between if you prefer. SELECTING
A FLIGHT MODE TYPHOON

i s programmed with thr·ee (3) flight modes that can be selected via the F li ght Mode Selection Switch located just above the right-hand control stick.

## Flight Controls

- Smart Mode When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top position TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode. Alt h ough we recommend learning to fly TYPHOON
in Angle (P

i lot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in and also features

' Follow Me' and

' Watch Me' functions. In Smart Mode TYPHOON will always move in the direction the
r i ght-hand contro

l stick is pushed

r e l ative to the pilot and no matter which way
t h e front/nose

is po

i nted. So if you push the stick to the

l eft TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it's sp in n i ng. This mode can also be helpful for p il ots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode. (¥-,.

### FOLLOW ME FUNCTION The Follow Me function
a l lows TYPHOON to follow the pilo t , adjusting
it s location to the location of the ST10+. This function

i s enabled when ST10+ GPS positioning completes

, and the TYPHOON

i s using shared GPS s i gnal with ST10+. At this time, you will see on ST10+ screen

. the number of connected sate llit es

i s 6 or more. TYPHOON's Main LED Status Indi cator wil
l b l ink white every three seconds. When in Fo ll ow Me function

, the TYPHOON will follow the movement of ST10+ if there is no extra operation on the ST10+. The flight statu s is also contro

ll able when you operate S T1 0+ and CG02+.

r 

### Important Note: In Fo ll ow Me function, the aircraft wil
l maintain
a consta
n t altitude and cannot detect ob s tacles. Pilots who change their altitude by for examp

l e , moving to higher g r ound, during flight should be mindful of thi s .

### WATCH ME FUNCTION Watch Me function enables the ca mera to keep tra c king the remote control
