Flight Mode and Rate Selection – RTF

The Glimpse

 RTF quadcopter comes with the Blade

®

 

MLP4DSM transmitter. This transmitter’s fl ight mode 
selection feature lets the pilot change between stability 
mode and agility mode. 
•  When powered on, this transmitter is automatically in 

stability mode and high rate.

•  Change fl ight modes by pressing and releasing the left 

control stick while the transmitter is powered on.

•  Change rates by pressing and releasing the right 

control stick.

•  In low-rate mode, the controls cannot reach their 

maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by 
pilots looking for smoother/easier control response 
during fi rst time use.

•  In high-rate mode, the controls can reach their maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by experienced 

pilots who are ready for fast forward fl ight and aerobatic maneuvers (loops, rolls, etc.).

•  Stability mode is shown by the fl ight control board on the quadcopter glowing solid blue. When fl own in stability 

mode, the quadcopter will limit the bank angle with full control input and return the aircraft to a neutral fl ight posi-
tion when you release the elevator/aileron stick. This mode is typically preferred by pilots during fi rst time use.

•  Agility mode is shown by the fl ight control board on the quadcopter glowing solid red. When fl own in agility mode, 

the model will not return to a neutral fl ight position when you release the controls. This mode is typically preferred 
by experienced pilots who are ready for fast forward fl ight and aerobatic maneuvers (loops, rolls, etc.).
