Flight Modes Explained
Smart Mode
This fl ight mode is intended for
the beginner pilot. For best re-
sults while using Smart Mode,
it is recommended the pilot
always turn to face the
350 QX3 while fl ying.
• Stick Relativity– While in
Smart Mode, the path of the aircraft will always
follow the control stick input direction relative to the
pilot location, regardless of the direction the nose of
the aircraft is pointing.
• SAFE Circle
™
feature– In most scenarios, the quad
will not enter the SAFE Circle.
• Position Hold– The aircraft will hold its position when
elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.
• Self-Leveling– Brings the 350 QX3 to a level attitude
when the elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.
• 100 m geo-fence– The 350 QX3 uses GPS informa-
tion to create a virtual barrier and will not travel
farther than 100 meters from the home position.
AP Mode
This fl ight mode keeps the
350 QX3 in a steady hover
and locked into position while
the controls are held at neutral,
making it deal for image/video
capture.
• Control Input– While in AP Mode, the 350 QX3
follows the control stick input direction relative to the
position and orientation of the aircraft rather than the
position of the pilot.
• Position Hold– The aircraft will hold its position when
elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.
• Self-Leveling– Brings the 350 QX2 AP to a level
attitude when the elevator and aileron inputs are at
neutral.
• 100 m geo-fence– The 350 QX3 uses GPS informa-
tion to create a virtual barrier and will not travel
farther than 100 meters from the home position.

AP Mode Control Inputs
NOTICE: If the 350 QX3 loses GPS signal while fl ying in either Smart or AP Mode, the LED will fl ash either green or purple, depending on which fl ight mode you are
currently using, and the 350 QX3 will default to a stable fl ight mode with similar control response as AP Mode without the availability of position hold. Return Home
will not function. Please familiarize yourself with the controls in AP Mode to ensure a safe return of the 350 QX3 in the event of GPS signal loss.
