If there is no control movement performed at the transmitter for "Nick" and "Roll" the !MikroKopter hovers by itself and is exposed to the wind.<<BR>>
Here the Kopter can leave more or less quickly the actual position. <<BR>><<BR>>

== Function ==

The function "!PositionHold" makes it possible to hold the !MikroKopter tight in the air at the actual position and at any distance. <<BR>>
The Kopter uses its actual GPS-Position. These position will be kept as long until a new control command comes in over the transmitter.<<BR>><<BR>>

To use that function you need to activate the function in the KopterTool and it must be assigned to a switch-channel.<<BR>>
Information you can find here: [[en/Sender#A1_Kanal_f.2BAPw-r:_GPS|GPS-Function]]<<BR>>
(The function "!ComingHome" will be used here to the same time. A description you will find here: [[en/ComingHome|ComingHome]])<<BR>><<BR>>

The switch-channel will be assigned to a 3-way switch at your transmitter. Is that switch in middle-position the function "!PositionHold" is enabled. <<BR>><<BR>>

If you release the control-sticks for "Nick" and "Roll" the Kopter will keep the actual position.<<BR>>
If you move now one of the control-sticks for "Nick" or "Roll" the function will be automatically disabled and the Kopter will fly to the new position.<<BR>>
If you release now the control-sticks again for "Nick" and "Roll" the function will be automatically enabled and the Kopter will keep the new position.


== Dynamic PositionHold ==

If you choose in addition also the entry "Dynamic !PositionHold" ([[en/MK-Parameter/Easy-SETUP|Link]]) the control function will work a little bit different.<<BR>><<BR>>

If "Dynamic !PositionHold" is chosen the function will be not disabled while moving the control-sticks for "Nick" and "Roll". It permanently is switched ON.<<BR>>
While moving "Nick" and "Roll" the GPS-Position will be shifted and the Kopter is following this shifting.<<BR>><<BR>>

That has the advantage that an more exact positioning and a softer shifting of the Kopter is possible especially for flights with a camera.
