Forward = away from you.
Backwards = closer to you.
Left stick
:
Forward = higher (throttle up).
Backwards = lower (throttle down).
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you have the quadcopter facing towards you then
sliding and forward/reverse controls are inverted in
relation to you!
Sliding to the left is accomplished by pushing left on the
left stick, sliding right is moving the stick right!
Moving forward is backwards and backwards is
forwards!
To
eliminate
the above that will cause
confusion
to an
unexperienced pilot, you can
use Headless Mode
as
outlined further below.
