5.1 Flight Modes (Reflex V3 System)

The Reflex V3 flight controller offers three distinct flight modes to cater to pilots of all skill levels:

  • Beginner Mode (Self-Stabilizing): Provides 70% assistance, acting as a reliable co-pilot. This mode significantly reduces the learning curve and helps maintain stable flight.
  • Advanced Mode (Enhanced Stabilization): Offers 40% assistance, allowing for more agile maneuvers while still providing support. Ideal for pilots progressing their skills.
  • Off Mode (Manual Control): The gyro is turned off, allowing pilots complete manual control. This mode is for experienced pilots who wish to fly without any electronic assistance.

Switch between modes using your transmitter. Refer to the Reflex V3 manual for detailed setup and calibration.
