for a second, ﬂ ashes one more time, and then remains steady. In this mode,

the quadcopter will maintain the current altitude when the throttle is at the

mid-stick position. Moving the throttle below that point will allow the quadcopter

to descend and raising the throttle above mid-stick will allow it climb. This

setting makes the model more stable than just releasing the throttle and would

be recommended any time the 230Si is used for photography.

Normal Mode is selected when the Status

LED ﬂ ashes rapidly three times, is off for a

second, ﬂ ashes two more times, and then

remains steady. There are no limits or special conditions in this mode.

WARNING: Pressing the F-Mode button rapidly can put the 230Si in a

different Altitude Control mode than what is displayed by the Status LED.

Only press the F-Mode button once and wait for the Status LED to respond

before pressing the button again.

Flying Tip: When in the Limited Altitude or Altitude Control mode, the

quadcopter will need a throttle setting above 75% to take off smoothly. When

landing in these modes, bring the quadcopter down until it is a couple inches

off the ground and cut the throttle.

OTHER FEATURES

Actual Direction Control

The Actual Direction Control mode uses the pilot’s position as a reference point

for any commands from the right stick instead of the orientation of the quadcopter.

In this mode, it does not matter which direction the front of the 230Si is facing.

When the right stick is moved forward or backward, the quadcopter will move

closer to or farther from the pilot’s position. A stick movement to the left or

right will make the quadcopter move left or right. The antenna must be pointed

towards the 230Si at all times for this feature to work correctly.

To enter this mode, press and hold the ICM button until the Status LED starts

flashing slowly. To return to the normal mode, hold the ICM button down

again for couple of seconds. The Status LED will become steady to indicate

that the model is back in the normal flight mode

Return to Pilot

The Return to Pilot function directs the 230Si to slowly ﬂ y towards the

transmitter. Press the ICM button quickly and release it to enter this mode.

The Status LED will ﬂ ash quickly while in this mode. The pilot can use the

throttle to control the altitude, but any movement with the right stick will

cause the model to return to the normal ﬂ ight mode. When the model gets

close, the pilot should expect to use the transmitter to slow the 230Si and
