Virtual Fence Mode and GPS
CAUTION: Keep aircraft away from magnetic sources such as
cameras, camera mounts, speakers etc. These may interfere with
the GPS system and loss of control may result.
Your aircraft uses GPS to establish a home location and a virtual fence to keep
the aircraft within a given distance from the home location. While ying, the
aircraft will automatically turn around and y back towards the home location
if it approaches the edge of the virtual fence. Once back inside the fence, the
aircraft will “wag” its wings, indicating full control has been given back to
the pilot.
The Virtual Fence feature is active in all SAFE ight modes, provided the GPS
function is active. There are 4 variations of Virtual Fence mode, which are
selectable from the transmitter while the aircraft GPS system initializes.
Virtual Fence Off: turns off the Virtual Fence function.
Circle Virtual Fence, Small (Default): sets the virtual fence in a circle with a
radius of approximately 175 meter from the home location.
Circle Virtual Fence, Large: sets the virtual fence in a circle with a radius of
approximately 225 meters from the home location.
Aireld Virtual Fence: sets the virtual fence in a rectangle of approximately
400m long x 200m wide and establishes a “no y zone” approximately 10m
(about 30 feet) inside of the center line.
Once a Virtual Fence mode is chosen, the aircraft will remember that mode
until another mode is chosen. It is not necessary to select the Virtual Fence
mode every time the aircraft is powered on.
WARNING: Never attempt to y under the no y zone. The bottom
of the no y zone is elevated to only allow for taxiing of the aircraft
in the pit area of the aireld. Due to variances in the barometric sensor,
attempting to y in this area may cause the aircraft to suddenly y back
toward the home location, during which time the pilot will have no control
over the aircraft until the aircraft reaches the home location. The pilot will
have no way to avoid any obstacles between the no y zone and the
home location.
