Default RE: Can't Hover? Use a Co-pilot

Field calibration of the Co-pilot is as easy as holding the plane up and pressing the CAL button for 2 seconds. The FS8 Co-Pilot then calibrates the infrared sensors to the surrounding conditions.

Note that I stand diagonally to the plane so the sensors are not blocked during calibration. The X-Y dual sensor is for pitch and roll. The optional "Z" sensor detects if the plane is inverted for normal Co-Pilot operation and is used for pitch control in V-Hover Mode.

The 50" span 3D plane is a Fun World EP from World Models.

We'll show a video of V-Hover Mode soon...
