Flight Modes
Choose the control mode deliberately and understand what the application is asking the firmware to do.

#Available v1 modes
Beginner
A user-facing control profile intended as the starting mode for less aggressive first-flight behavior.
Advanced
The v1 application’s more advanced control profile. Validate familiarity and stability before using it for aggressive testing.
Head Lock
Heading-relative control support. Verify heading behavior in a low-risk test before relying on it in flight.
#Mode changes are still flight changes
IMPORTANT
Do not switch modes casually during a first-flight validation. Treat a mode change as a meaningful control change and test it deliberately.
