ANGLE MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is the middle position, Typhoon H will be
in Angle Mode, also known as Angle (Pilot) Mode.
Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots
because Typhoon H will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative
to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left
Typhoon H will bank toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the
front/nose of Typhoon H is pointing away from you it will move to the left, but if
the front/nose is pointing at you
Typhoon H will move to the right.
*Additional Angle (Pilot) Mode Feature:
The Typhoon H will automatically hold
its position (with a suitable GPS
signal/lock) and maintain a level attitude
when the both joysticks are centered.
WARNING: If you do not properly
control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.
OBSTACLE AVOID Switch
With sustainable GPS locked, the sonar can be activated in Angle (Pilot) Mode
by being switched on except for the condition that the copter descend vertically
at low speed. When the sonar is activated, the front motor LED will blink white
and the icon on the ST16 screen will be solid green. If the OBSTACLE AVOID is
switched on, but the function can't be activated, then the icon will be yellow.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The environment requirement such as flight track might
change depending on the situation. Only when the icon on the ST16 screen is
solid green, it means the OBSTACLE AVOID function is activated.
NOTICE:The sonar can only detect the front obstacles, but can't detect the lateral and rear
obstacles.
NOTICE: The speed of the aircraft will be limited with Sonar activated.

authorized distributor.
Mode 2 shown
NOTICE: Users can control pitch, roll and yaw directions during descent. The Typhoon
H will hang over the home position at the current height when RC signal is lost.
CAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to Home’ flight path
otherwise Typhoon H may come into contact with them and crash. While
Typhoon H is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount of directional
control. To help avoid obstacles we strongly recommend to switch to Smart or
Angle Mode (then you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when Typhoon H has a suitable GPS
signal/lock. If Typhoon loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode
automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot)
Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not
able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash
or even ‘fly away’.
WHEN HOME MODE IS ACTIVATED Typhoon WILL RESPOND AS FOLLOWS:
A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) Typhoon H will maintain the
current altitude, fly back to the home point, or active home point if the ST16
Ground Station has enough satellites for Follow Me, then descend vertically
until it lands.
B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) Typhoon H will climb to 33 feet
(10 meters) while flying back to the home point, or active home position, then
will descend vertically until it lands.
HOME MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is in the bottom position Typhoon H will be
in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.
In Home Mode the GPS connectivity will fly back Typhoon H in a straight line in the
direction of the pilots’ current location, and automatically land within 13-26 ft

LOCATION
(4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for
beginning pilots who aren’t quite ready to land
Typhoon H themselves. It can also be helpful for
pilots that lose orientation during flight. Simply
activate Home Mode until Typhoon H automatically
moves toward the home position, and once you’ve
confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot)
Mode. If Typhoon H ever loses the link with the ST16
Ground Station it will automatically enter Home
Mode.
NOTICE: If the signal of remote control is lost,
Typhoon H will automatically return to home point
and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock)
over the home position except for low battery.
