Stabilize Mode
(STB)
Stabilize mode (STB) is IRIS’ most acrobatic flight setting. In stabilize, the
autopilot provides basic stabilization while allowing full manual control of both
sticks. In this mode, you’ll need to make continuous, small adjustments to the
left and right sticks to maintain a hovering altitude, navigate, and maintain
orientation without autopilot assistance.
Select stabilize mode by setting both switches up. The transmitter has an
additional setting (up-down) for stabilize mode to allow you to switch between
modes without triggering a mission or return-to-launch command.

Loiter Mode
(LTR)
Loiter mode (LTR) uses GPS positioning to hold IRIS’ current position and
altitude automatically. Just release the sticks and IRIS will hover in place. Use
the left stick to adjust altitude and orientation; use the right stick to navigate
and change IRIS’ position.
To select loiter mode, set the left switch to the center position and the right
switch to the up position (center-up).
Loiter mode requires GPS lock (flashing green LED) prior to takeoff.
