Flight Modes & Features

WingFlight's flight modes are built around fixed-wing flight characteristics -- most were designed or adapted specifically for aircraft with fixed control surfaces, rather than inherited unchanged from Rotorflight's helicopter-focused mode set.

Mode / Feature Summary
Auto Hover Automated hover/attitude assist for aircraft capable of hovering flight
Attitude Hold Holds commanded attitude, releasing stick input to level/hold
Thrust Vector Attitude Hold Independent attitude/heading hold on the Thrust Vector loop only, decoupled from the main surfaces
Auto Trim Captures trim automatically from sustained stick input
Trainer Mode Assisted flight mode for beginners
Traditional Zeroes the I-term for a snappy, no-hold rate-gyro feel, layered on top of any other stabilization
Ready-to-Arm Wiggle Visual servo-wiggle confirmation before arming
Cross-Axis Relax Reduces unwanted coupling between control axes
Governor Idle-hold or RPM governing of motor throttle response, from Off through fixed idle to full RPM Range control
Backup RX Input Instant backup receiver takeover from a second RX port if the main RF link is lost

Most modes are enabled and mapped to a transmitter switch from the Auxiliary tab. Backup RX Input is the exception -- it's enabled by assigning a serial port's function, not an aux switch; see its own page for setup.
