USER GUIDE

Configure Multiple Flight Modes

The Riot comes configured to Rate Mode. Rate Mode gives pilots full control of the drone. This is the 

recommended setting for aspiring drone racers. For new or beginner pilots we also recommend practicing 

with a flight simulator, or configuring a switch to the Angle Mode. The Riot can be configured for multiple 

flight modes in Betaflight.

Common flight modes

ANGLE MODE:

 Angle mode is a stabilized mode that will not allow your quad to spin in any direction past 

a set angle (50 degrees). This means that with your hands off the controls, it will use the accelerometer and 

the gyroscope to keep the quad level. This is the default flight mode.

HORIZON MODE:

 Horizon mode is a mix between Angle and Air mode, offering stabilization while the 

pitch/roll stick is near center, but using rate mode settings when sticks are at their endpoints. This allows a 

pilot to fly in a stabilized manner, but still perform rolls and flips when really pushing on the pitch/roll stick.

RATE MODE: 

This is the most difficult mode for flying but also the most responsive. Air mode uses the 

gyro sensor which takes the pitch/roll stick inputs speed and angle and translates it into the rate at which 

the craft rotates on that particular axis. Once you have become a skilled pilot, the reason you may want 

to fly in air mode is so that you won’t have the stabilization provided by the other modes, which can with 

skilled piloting lead to smoother flying and better video capture. It will also let you perform banked turns 

and make small adjustments to get through small gaps much more easily than a stabilized mode. 

Like arm and disarm, flight modes can also be set to switches on the radio. Since all radios have their own 

procedure, refer to your TX (radio) manual for directions on how to program the aux switches on your radio. 

Typically a 3 position switch is set up for arm/disarm.

After setting up the aux switch for flight modes, verify in Betalight. 

WARNING!

   Be sure props are removed before switch verification.
