this mode can be specified via the configurator or programming card. 

5. LEVEL Mode 

The 

LEVEL

 mode is also known as the ‘

Auto-Level mode

’, ‘

Auto-Balance mode

’ or ‘

Horizon mode

’. When 

operating in this mode, the airplane will be brought to horizontal position automatically when you release 
the sticks. Different from the 

ANGLE 

mode, there is no maximum angle limitation in this mode and the 

airplane will be stabilized only when there is no specific control input from aileron and elevator sticks. 
This mode can be used if the pilot becomes disoriented and would like to save the airplane from crashing. 

6. HOVER Mode 

The 

HOVER 

mode, also known as the ‘

Auto-Hover mode

’, provides the same functionality as the 

LEVEL

 

mode. The only difference is that when you release the sticks, the  airplane will be brought to vertical 
position (nose up) and keeps hovering. This mode is designed to help you to learn hovering maneuver 
and reduce the probability of crashing. 
 

 

Setup of Flight Mode Switch 

You can use any 3-position switch of the transmitter to switch the flight mode. The simplest way is 
to use the 

Gear

 Channel and  connect it to the [

Serial RX/M

] slot of the gyro. To make the gyro 

possible to  identify the correct positions the PWM input must meet the requirement of range as 
shown below: 

 

A3S4 also supports 6-position flight mode switching, which allows you  switch all flight modes  in 
flight. To do this, a mixing function of one 2-position switch and one 3-position switch is required on 
your transmitter. To make the gyro possible to identify the correct positions the PWM input  must 
meet the requirement of range as shown below: 

 

To achieve a 6-position logic switch, your transmitter needs to support program mixing functions, 
most advanced radios provide you such features. Please refer to our website for examples on how 
to setup the mixing for some popular radios.
