The app mimics the controls of an external controller, so knowing how an external controller works, applies to how the app controls work as well.
Learning how to fly starts with understanding how your controller works. Flying takes practice to master. There are many resources available online that help
explain further how to fly.
Here’s one of our video picks.
If you’re new to being a pilot, be patient with yourself as you learn, flying a quadcopter is not like a toy
that has one joystick, for example a toy helicopter. Flying multirotors are much more involved. Stick with it, you’ll get it!
Here are some terms that can get you started:
Thrust
creates a force that lifts your airframe up off the ground.
Pitch
creates a torque that tilts the nose of your airframe either up toward the sky or down toward the ground.
Roll
creates a torque that tilts your airframe side to side. Imagine wings on an airplane, they can tilt back and forth toward the ground or toward the sky.
Yaw
creates a torque that spins your airframe while remaining flat in the sky with no tilting either forward, backward, or side to side.
