Do you mean which is each mode equal to or how do they compare in terms of performance?

Acro mode I believe is either still acro with Naza or manual mode.
Stabilize is the same as attitude (self righting)
Altitude hold... self explanatory for both.
Loiter Mode is the same as having GPS Hold and Altitude Hold on with Naza
RTL is the same as Naza's Return to Home
Circle, Auto Waypoint, etc... are all APM only

If you have a radio with a ch7 you can use ch 7 for RTL and open up a third spot for say circle, acro, or auto waypoint

There is a video on youtube that shows you how to use the mixing of a 2 channel switch and the 3 position switch to get all 6 mods. I have Stabalize, Loiter, and ALT H, then flip a switch and it goes to Auto, RTL, and Land. Pretty cool. I also programmed another switch to turn simple mode on and then a 4th switch to set auto trim. Come to think of it I guess I loaded my controller up pretty well.
I did the same with the DJI on my same controller. I have GPS, Atti, and Manual and then another switch activates RTL all on the same channel. Then I programmed another switch to turn the IOC on, and again another switch to go from Home lock and Course lock.
I had to go a little involved due to my remote, 9xr, only having 1 3 position switch.

Exactly. All depends on preferences. What mode you do an dont want. For my case, I don't need circle, auto land, acro or simple so I have my 3 pos as stab, alt hold, loiter and a switch that is a quick easy reach for RTL. I needd to mix in so that I can have auto in there too
Just saw a 6 position rotary switch on EBay, you swap out one of your 2/3 position switches and install this special rotary switch on your transmitter. Seems to have adjustable pots for position 2,3,4,5 and use end points for position 1 & 6. Sure seems much more simple than programming your Tx and using switch banking etc. Looks like an easy project, I believe they show pictures of the install on a Turnigy 9 channel system. This switch was designed to be used with the APM 2.5 and solve the mode switching programming issue.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
that's a pretty cool idea, can you post the link to the ebay listing please?
Here is a link to the switch:

Looks like a perfect solution and will allow us to use all the flight modes!
I decided to build my own quad now, much more relaxing to fly than the single rotor heli's I've been fooling with for years. I am looking at the TBS discovery frame and an APM 2.5 with GPS, is this a good route for me? I do have a SAB Goblin 500 with the NAZA-H so I'm not starting at ground zero experience wise. I'm not sure which motors and ESC's to get for something like a TBS discovery but want long flight times, FPV & OSC. I have a Blade 350QX and a Gopro hero 3 (black) I'm flying now, so much fun but one multi rotor is never enough (lol).
