Left Stick
For auto-takeoff, raise
throttle to start mission.
Once you’ve saved the mission to the X8, follow these steps to fly the mission.
1 Perform a pre-mission test flight.
Follow the standard takeoff procedure, and fly a
brief test flight to verify that all controls (throttle,
yaw, roll, and pitch) are responding normally.
2 Arm in standard mode.
When you’re ready to start the mission,
arm the X8 in standard (STD) mode.
3 Switch to auto mode.
For automatic takeoff, arm the X8 in standard
mode. Then switch to auto mode, and raise the
throttle to initiate the mission.
For manual takeoff, initiate the mission in flight by
switching to auto mode.

Automatic Landing
For missions configured with a land
waypoint, the X8 will disarm automatically
after landing. Ensure that the throttle
stick is set fully down during landing; the
X8 will not disarm automatically unless
the throttle stick is set fully down.
Manual Landing
For missions without a land waypoint,
switch to standard or loiter mode in flight
then land manually.
Ending
!
To avoid sudden changes
in altitude when switching
from auto mode to standard
mode, ensure that the left
stick is set to the center
position.
End the mission according to the type of
landing configured in the mission.
