Atti mode is much easier to control/ handle at higher altitude, no obstacles for one, you also have map with small red triangle to help you know where you AC is and where it's facing, with Atti mode you are always fighting against the wind so small stick movements are of no use to you, this is why most people say Pushing sticks had no effect on AC , in Atti mode you will find you will almost never get a chance to remove fingers from pushing on sticks.
Yes there is no Atti switch on spark or Mavic to practice and for some that's a pity, for others it's a blessing because I think we would see more crashes and accidents with first time flyers.
So my newb mea culpa, I was practicing flying my PS3 for a while (all in POS mode), and thought I was getting good. One time I tried to launch from my pontoon (lots of metal), and it couldn't get compass or GPS lock. In my desire to fly anyways, I ignored the warnings (that was a mistake). I realized how much POS helps, and how good I wasn't (yet). It was windy in a small canyon, so there was a great deal of shifting winds, so controlling the craft was a b!#$%^. Fortunately I was able to land, and I learned two valuable lessons that day. 1. Don't ignore the warnings, ever. 2. I wasn't that good at flying yet. |
