The control stick mode determines the function of each control stick movement. Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available and custom modes can be configured in kDJI Fiy.

Mode 1

**Mode 2

**

Mode 3

The default control mode of the remote controller is Mode 2. In this manual, Mode 2 is used as the example to ilustrate how to use the control sticks.

• Stick Neutral/Center Point: Control sticks are in the center.
• Moving the control stick: The control stick is pushed away from the center position.

The figure below explains how to use each contral stick. Mode 2 has been used as an example.

Left Stick
| | Moving the left stick up or down changes the aircrafts altitude. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will change altitude. Push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected changes in atitude.
Left Stick
| | Moving the left stick to the left or right controls the orientation of the aircraft. Push the sick left to rotate the aircraft counter-clockwise and right to rotate the aircraft clockwise. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, ine faster the aircraft will otate.
Right Stick
| | Moving the right stick up and down changes the aircrat’s pitch. Push the stick up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, ine faster the aircraft will move.
Right Stick
| | Moving the right stick to the left or right changes the aircrafts roll. Push the stick left to fly left and right to fly right. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will move.

• Keep the remote controller away from magnstic materials to avoid it being affected by magnetic
  interference.

• To avoid damage, it is recommended that the control sticks are removed and stored in the storage slot on the remote controller during transportation or storage.

Flight Mode Switch
Toggle the switch to select the desired fight mode.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utiizes GNSS and the Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize ftseff. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft  uses the vision systems to locate and stabilze itself.

Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport Mode.

Gine Mode: Gine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting.
