8.1.5
Sport
Sport mode in a modified version of Acro that includes altitude assistance and earth-frame orientation. With altitude
assistance, the throttle stick behaves the same in Sport mode as it does in standard flight (Fly mode). Earth-frame
orientation differs from copter-frame orientation in that the direction of yaw rotation is in relation to the earth instead
of in relation to the copter itself. For example, if Solo is pitched forward in sport mode and left yaw is applied,
Solo will maintain the same pitch angle and rotate around the vertical axis. As opposed to in acro’s copter-frame
orientation, in which, in the same situation, Solo will perform a cartwheel. Sport does not require GPS lock.
8.2 Enabling Advanced Flight Modes
To unlock Solo’s advanced flight modes, use the app to select Advanced Settings from the Settings menu. Toggle
the Enable Advanced Flight Modes option to gain access to Solo’s advanced modes.
Figure 8.2.1: App - Advanced Settings
8.3 Accessing Advanced Flight Modes
Once enabled, advanced flight modes can be accessed only be assigning them to the controller’s A and B buttons
using the app. In the app, select Preset A or Preset B from the Solo menu. (The app must be connected to Solo to
apply button assignments.) Once assigned, use the controller to activate advanced modes during flight.

8.4 Home Position Safety
Fly:Manual, stabilize, acro, and sport modes do not require GPS lock. To take off without GPS lock, Solo must be
set to one of these modes. Without an active GPS signal, Return Home, Pause, and Smart Shots are disabled. If
you take off without GPS lock, Solo does not save a home position at the launch point. If Solo acquires GPS lock
mid-flight, the autopilot saves a home position at that location. To prevent a potentially unsafe situation, do not use
Return Home if Solo did not acquire GPS prior to takeoff.
If Solo did not acquire GPS lock prior to takeoff, do not use Return
Home.
