16Signal Loss Protection functionIf the radio link is interrupted while the model is in the air - e.g. thecopter flies beyond the range of the radio control system, the trans-mitter fails, interference affects the signal, etc. - the model takes upa stable hover at a height of about 2 - 3 m for about five secondsbefore descending automatically to a landing.Conventional flight mode and intelligent flight modeUntil now the direction of flight of radio-controlled models wasalways fixed, i.e. forward was always forward, and back was al-ways back. The drawback to a fixed direction of flight is that thepilot has to re-think his commands when, for example, the modelis flying towards him. In this case the pilot gives a command toturn right or left, but the model now moves in exactly the oppositedirection relative to him. This "conventional flight mode" is verydifficult to master, especially for the beginner. The situation iseven worse with quadrocopters, as their layout makes it evenharder to detect which side of the model is forward, back, rightand left. That is why we have incorporated an "intelligent controlmode" in the GALAXY VISITOR 3. If the machine is operated inthis control mode, forward on the model does not always equateto the forward direction of flight. This means that the model al-ways flies towards the pilot if he moves the pitch-axis stick towardhimself. It makes no difference where the actual front face of thequadrocopter is pointing.CAUTION: when you operate the copter in intelligent flight mode,the transmitter aerial should always face the model, as this flightmode works best in this situation.Switching between the two flight modesFirst switch the radio control transmitter on, then connect the re-ceiver power supply in the GALAXY VISITOR 3. Hold the AUX 1button pressed in for about three seconds, and do not release ituntil the Status LED starts flashing slowly. This method can beused at any time to switch between the two flight modes. If youare a beginner, we recommend that you set the mode on theground, and do not change it in flight, otherwise you could losecontrol of the model.Conventional flight modeThe Status LED glows constantly red when the GALAXY VISI-TOR 3 is operated in conventional flight mode. In this mode "for-ward on the model" is always "the forward flight direction".Intelligent flight modeThe Status LED flashes slowly red when the GALAXY VISITOR 3 isoperated in intelligent flight mode. In this mode "forward on the mo-del" is always the side which faces away from the transmitter.CAUTION: when the model takes off, the transmitter aerialmust always face the Status LED. If you neglect this, youmay find that the control directions are not correct.Operating Instructions - GALAXY VISITOR 3 RTF FTR 2.4 GHz No. NE2529M2No. NE2529M1
