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.
