+     * //Altitude hold//: Keeps the Crazyflie at its current altitude automatically. Thrust control becomes height velocity control.
+     * //Position hold//: Keeps the Crazyflie at its current 3D position. Pitch/Roll/Thrust control becomes X/Y/Z velocity control.
+     * //Height hold//: When activated, keeps the Crazyflie at 40cm above the ground. Thrust control becomes height velocity control. Requires a height sensor like the [[projects:crazyflie2:expansionboards:zranger|Z-Ranger deck]].
   - Roll/pitch trim can be set either in the UI or using the controller (if the correct buttons are mapped). This will offset the input to the Crazyflie for correcting imbalance and reducing drift.
   - Advanced flight control settings are available if Advanced mode has been selected (settings are in %):
