Learning with self-levelling › Pick ANGLE mode and throw passed

As a pilot learning to fly, I want the plane to level itself when I let go of the sticks, so that I can learn the controls without it getting away from me.

The test behind the tutorial Learning with self-levelling: every step it takes, what it checks and what it saw.
