Flying in Joystick Mode

Flying in joystick mode with the S2 allows the user to directly control the roll angle, airpseed, and climb/descent rate. Joystick mode can be flown through the RC handset or with virtual joysticks on the tablet.

Joystick control

1. The right stick left/right is roll control of the aicraft and keeps it within the roll bounds on the "Limits" page.
2. The right stick up/down is the climb/descent rate.
3. The left stick up/down is the airspeed command, kept between the values on the limits tab.
4. Joystick control can be enable during any flight phase including to abort a landing, or takeover control during an emergency such as lost GPS.

Getting into and out of joystick mode

1. If using the tablet UI for joystick mode:
   1. Once the aircraft is flying, press-and-hold two sides of the screen to turn on virtual joysticks.
   2. To get out of tablet joystick mode, simply send the aircraft to any waypoint.
2. If using the RC handset for joystick mode:
   1. Once the aircraft is flying, toggle the auto/manual switch on the top right of the handset.
   2. To get out of this mode, switch back to auto. The aircraft will continue to the last commanded waypoint.
