model‘s direction of ight, or the pilot‘s view
„in the model“. The drawback to this is the
necessity to re-think your commands when
the model is ying towards you. Right and
left for the pilot „in the model“ are now
exactly the opposite of those for the pilot
holding the RC system transmitter. This
„conventional ight mode“ is difcult to
master, especially for the beginner who is
just making a start. In the case of a quadro-
copter there is an additional difculty: the
symmetrical overall shape makes it slightly
more difficult to pick up where ‚front‘ and
‚back‘ are on the model. For this reason the
GALAXY VISITOR 2 includes an „Intelligent
Control Mode“. When the model is operated
in this control mode, all directions refer to the
pilot holding the RC system transmitter. This
means that the model always ies towards
the pilot if he moves the pitch-axis stick back
(towards himself), and always away from the
pilot if the pitch-axis stick is moved forward.
Right and left are now always exactly the
same with reference to the pilot. The
direction in which the actual front of the
quadrocopter is pointing is not relevant.
„Auto-Return“ function
The effect of the Auto-Return function is to
cause the model to return to the pilot
automatically and immediately, regardless of
its attitude. Simply press the AUX 1 button
The highly developed nine-way gyro and
stabilising system supplied as standard
will delight the beginner and advanced pilot
in equal measure. It features a total of nine
sensors for optimum stabilisation: triple-axis
gyro + triple-axis accelerometer + triple-axis
field strength sensor.
Two ight modes can be selected at the
transmitter. In Beginner mode the Galaxy
Visitor 2 is extremely stable, and responds in
a docile manner to ight commands - ideal
for learning the skill of controlling a quadro-
copter. In Agility mode the model‘s agility
and ying characteristics are faster, more
direct and more accurate; the advanced pilot
will never find the model boring in this mode.
If you enjoy a splash of colour, you can t
the optional interchangeable housing parts
in various colours to give your GALAXY
VISITOR 2 an individual accent. The
navigation lights fitted as standard supply
cool lighting effects, and help in orientating
the model.
The GALAXY VISITOR 2 includes the
following advanced special functions:
„Headless Flight“-function
For normal control of a radio-controlled
helicopter the direction of control is always
from the point of view of the model, i.e.
forward, back, right and left refer to the
on the transmitter to trigger the Auto-Return
function. It makes no difference which ight
mode is currently selected.
„Auto Brake“ function
The GALAXY VISITOR 2 has an automatic
brake function. If you abruptly release the
roll / pitch-axis stick while the model is ying
forward, its forward speed is automatically
reduced until it comes to a hover. This
function can be useful in avoiding collisions
with obstacles.
Futaba Transmitter Ready (FTR)
The GALAXY VISITOR 2‘s 2.4 GHz radio
control system operates according to the
FTR standard (Futaba Transmitter Ready).
This means that the transmitter and receiver
exploit the Futaba S-FHSS code, and are
therefore compatible with Futaba S-FHSS
radio control systems. As a result the
GALAXY VISITOR 2 can also be own with
any high-quality Futaba S-FHSS radio
control system – ideal for all modellers
moving up and changing over.
