Moving up and down:
The Quad Starship moves
up and down by varying the speed of its main
rotors (you know, those things that spin). You can
control how fast these spin by using the left stick
on the controller. Pushing the stick up will increase
the throttle.
To get good results, be gentle and subtle. Small
adjustments made slowly and carefully are the best
way to get the Quad Starship to fly well. Be careful
when easing off the throttle – if the Quad Starship
stalls (that is, doesn’t have enough lift to stay in
the air) it’ll fall, and might not be able to recover in
time, even if you jam the throttle back on.
Rotation:
To rotate the Quad Starship, move the
right stick to either side. This will cause the rotors
to change their speeds relative to one another,
causing the body of the Quad Starship to spin on
the spot.
Forward & Backwards:
The right stick on the
controller affects the Quad Starship’s direction of
travel.
Pushing the right stick up will pitch the Quad Star-
ship forwards. Whilst pitched in this way, the rotors
will push the Quad Starship along forwards. The
opposite is also true – moving the right stick down
will pitch the Quad Starship backwards and move
it in reverse.
Side to Side:
By moving the left stick horizontally,
you can strafe or ‘slide’ left and right without
rotating the Quad Starship.
By using the left and right sticks at different angles
and positions, you can design and execute some
graceful, arcing turns. On the other hand, quick
thrusts of the stick in different directions can
create some unique tricks or stunts. Practice makes
perfect!
Flip:
Exactly what it sounds like - it makes the Quad
Starship do a flip when you hold this button and
move the left stick left or right or the right stick
forward or back.
Flipping requires a lot of space
to properly recover afterward: 6ft/2m+ above,
below, to the side(s) and/or infront/behind.
Speed Select:
Changes the speed at which the
Quad Starship will move. This will affect forwards,
backwards and side-to-side movement, but won’t
affect lift or turning speed.
