Using the QS80
The QS80 stick has a mechanical spring that will return it to mid-
position when the stick is released.
You can use the QS80 in NFU, AUTO, NoDrift, NAV and Wind
mode.
¼ Note: The Wind mode is only available if the autopilot system
has been set up for sailboat. See the Installation manual for your
autopilot system.
Mode selection
You toggle between available modes by repeated pressing the
MODE key. The selection times out and triggers a mode shift.
You can also use the stick to change mode as shown in the table.
