Aircraft Flight Control
Drone and Pilot Orientation
Flight control of the Evolve is accomplished by manipulating the control sticks on the ground controller.
Proper orientation must always be considered when flying the drone. A basic rule of thumb when
remote piloting an aircraft is to realize that when the aircraft’s nose, or front end, is facing the pilot
the control inputs for roll and yaw are backwards. This disorientation is the leading cause of all drone
accidents that are due to pilot error. Therefore, it is very important to practice piloting in the proper
orientation. This includes -
Ensure operator and drone both face forward in the same direction prior to launch.
◦
Positioning the drone’s nose, or front end, away from the pilot
◦
Be sure to stand at least 6ft directly behind the drone and keep the nose pointed away from
you
◦
Fly in an open area free of obstacles such as trees, power lines, and buildings
◦
Make sure you are flying in GPS mode (The drone will automatically hold position when the
control sticks are released)
◦
Insure all spectators are standing behind you
