Hi,

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, please let me know if there is a dedicated forum for questions but I cannot solve this and at my wits end!

I have an Avata 2 drone with the FPV 3 remote controller. I use to have a Neo with the N3 goggles and the RC-N3 remote controller, but I upgraded to the Avata. I bought the FPV 3 controller for manual mode, which works fine, but for the stick mode (modes 1,2, and 3 on page 11 of the manual) I'm told I need to use the goggles to change the mode.

I want to use mode 1 as my muscle memory is expecting the right stick to move the drone forwards and backwards rather than up and down, but when I find the option in the goggles menu the modes are all grey and locked to mode 2. Is there something I'm missing, as this seems to be an elementary thing to change? Does the drone need to be in a specific mode? All accessories are activated and paired, visible in the DJI Fly app etc and firmware up to date.

Thanks in advance

Rob
