Hi, am Kanal 7 + 8 gibt es auch neue Funktionen z.B. Flip :
Option Description
Flip
Vehicle will flip is on roll axis. Vehicle will rise for 1 second and then rapidly roll. The vehicle will not flip again until the switch is brought low and back to high. Give yourself at least 10m of altitude before trying flip for the first time!
Simple Mode
The copter moves left, right, forward and back as if it were facing in the same direction as when it took off regardless of the copter’s heading.
RTL
Return-to-Launch. The vehicle will first climb to a safe altitude (defined by RTL_ALT parameter), then return home, pause over home for 5 seconds (configurable by RTL_LOIT_TIME parameter) then descend to 2m or land (configurable by RTL_ALT_FINAL parameter).
Save Trim
Adjust the vehicle level position using the current roll and pitch stick inputs. See details here.
Save WP
Save the current location (including altitude) as a waypoint in the mission. If in AUTO mode no waypoint will be saved, instead the vehicle will RTL
Multi Mode
Ch6 tuning knob position controls which of the following 3 functions is invoked when ch7 or ch8 switch put in the on position.
Ch6 <1200 : Flip
Ch6 1201 ~ 1799 : RTL
Ch6 > 1800 : Save Waypoint
Camera Trigger
Camera shutter will be activated. See more details here.
Sonar
Sonar is disabled when switch is in low position, enabled when it high position.
Fence
Fence is disabled when switch is in low position, enabled when it high position.
ResetToArmedYaw Vehicle will turn to face the same direction that it was facing when it was first armed (e.g. at take-off). An alternative to simple mode when you’ve lost orientation and need to bring the craft home.
Super Simple Mode
Similar to simple mode except controls are relative home position. Move the pitch stick forward and the copter will fly away from home, pull pitch back and it will return. Move roll stick left or right and the copter to orbit home regardless of the copter’s actual heading.

Es gibt auch noch einen Drift Mode, hier kontrolliert man nur noch Pitch und Yaw, während die Rollachse durch die FC automatisch die Waagerechte hält.
