The third step involves the total mastering of the previous exercises. It is not easy, and it
usually takes several weeks of practice to complete it successfully.
The exercise consists of a mixture of all the previous exercises. The idea is to perform “eights”
(or the symbol of infinity) up in the air with your drone, but unlike exercise 2, in this case the
drone should always make this movement facing the front.
To achieve this you must keep the drone at a given height. Then begin to move it diagonally
using the right lever while you indicate the direction using the left lever. Once you reach the
point at which you want to turn back, begin the rotation of the drone on its axis to the left.
Once a 180 degree turn is completed, stop rotating it on its axis and start moving it towards
your position. Once it gets closer, begin to rotate it to the right and repeat the process until
obtaining several “eights” in a row.

EXERCISE 3 - HOW TO ROTATE
The rotation is the most complicated movement when it coms to flying drones. When rotating
the drone, it is normal to get confused with the directions, since if the drone is facing front, the
controls of the transmitter correspond to what you can see (if we turn to the right, the drone
moves to the right). But if the drone is facing us, the controls are reversed, because when you
command it to go right, it will go to its right, that is, your left.
The first step is to keep the drone at a given height, and using the very same power lever, to
maintain that power while turning to the right or left. The drone will begin to rotate on its axis,
and depending on how skilful you are, it will ascend or descend. The challenge is to perform
circles fixed at a given point in height.
Now, let’s perform exercise 2 but now let’s perform the turn with the drone facing towards us.
That is, to move forward normally, stop the drone, rotate it 180º, and bring it back.
The third step is to perform the first step but with a slower rotation and applying some frontal
movement using the right lever. It is advisable to do this exercise in an open area, as the goal
is to perform wide circles with the drone. You can activate the recording and stand in the
central area of the circle you will be performing, so to record yourself at all times. Remember
to do this in an open area with no obstacles.
