Flying in ATTI takes away all of your "Training Wheels". It will hold altitude but nothing else. It will drift with any wind and will not have much (if any) braking effect when you release the sticks on the Tx. Also your Collision Avoidance Sensors are turned OFF so it's basically ALL YOU!
On the flip side every UAS operator should be able to competently and safely operate their UAS in this mode because it can happen in the blink of an eye when you least expect it.
Practice often but so do at a safe altitude and a very clear area.
But you notice that the OP is talking about manual mode - not ATTI mode. Manual mode makes ATTI mode look like full autopilot.
I didn't realize that... I fly in "3rd mode" all the time so I thought that was ATTI. I guess middle mode is ATTI then.
It was discontinued as a switch option after the P2, so it depends on what you are flying. Manual mode removes all FC control - no attitude or altitude hold. You effectively have manual control of the four motors.
If you want to fly in all manual mode, just buy a cheap Syma. If you can still get one with all manual, these drones are hard to fly, but you can crash them over and over. Just keep caking on the glue buy a big tube.hi..please tell me what to do to fly in the manual mode..that is the 3rd mode apart from gps and att..thinking of attempting that once

Getting rusty there BigA .....
Was my first and flew it a month before I got my first P2VVery much so. The fact that I fly mostly Mavics, Yuneec, and M210's these days is catching up with me. Open Mouth insert FOOT!!
But I've been flying my P4 almost every day for the last few weeks so I'm sort of flying Phantoms again
Now I'm going to have to go back and see what the 3rd switch setting is LOL! I'm def flying a refurbished P4P+. Time to DL the manual and see what the mode is I am playing around in. I'd guess it's ATTI mode.
It's like trying to stand on a ball in Manual .Have tried it with my P2V and can be done but I can't .
No biggie but do remember.I now see the ERROR of my ways... for whatever reason I was SURE this was in the P4 area... man I gotta pay more attention LOL.
