Autopilot Modes
Throw To Fly Takeoff - double tap to unlock the throttle, go full-throttle! Launch the airplane into the sky, once its in the air, the propellers will spin automatically! The airplane will ascend and keep straight heading.
Throw To Fly Takeoff disabled - double tap to unlock the throttle, go full-throttle! The propellers will start spinning. Launch the airplane into the sky, once its in the air, the auto-correction system will initiate, allowing the airplane to keep straight heading.
Recovery mode - Return Home flight mode (RH) ensures a safe recovery during a loss of control or communication - the airplane will turn back and land as close to the pilot as possible. A high-intensity buzzer will activate, in order to help find the drone once it lands.
Piloting Modes
GamePad flight mode - similar to RC stick and throttle control, simply increase/decrease the thrust to make the airplane go up and down! Move the control lever right or left to steer.
FPV flight mode - experience immersive flight via a Google Cardboard or a Mogo viewer! Control your flight by tilting your head in the direction you want to fly.
Video and Still Image Capture
● Videos and photos can be captured in all flight modes. Your recorded video is saved straight to the micro-SD card inside the airplane (sold separately). All recorded media can also be transferred directly to your smartphone for easily sharing on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.
VR Viewers
POWERUP X FPV is compatible with the Google Cardboard VR viewer and Mogo VR viewer, allowing real-time and low latency FPV from your paper airplane. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to control - even for the most novice of pilots! - thanks to our 10 sensors and autopilot stabilization software.
The Google Cardboard VR viewer has an external button for capturing still photos during flight, and also for initiating takeoff and abort functions.
