Drones 101: Flying tips for beginners

2016-02-16
flying a drone for the first time can be tricky here are some tips to keep in mind before taking to the sky you can practice on the ground with a simulator app like parrots AR drone sim or the flight simulator from 3dr when you're ready for the real world choose a wide-open area away from power lines trees and people do a pre-flight check making sure the battery is secured and propellers are attached if it's your first flight consider using the easy flight mode if your drain has it all you're going to do is just push up on the throttle that's going to take off practice hovering the drone and slowly increase elevation as you get the hang of it then try basic movements with the controller like altering pitch and yaw you always want to keep your eyes on on the aircraft so that way you're making sure you're not going to find anything and just take it slow it's a good idea to position the camera facing away from you and so at this point when you push forward on the stick it's going to go forward when you push back on the stick is going to go back left is going to be left right it's going to be right some drones have a built-in GPS feature that lets it hover in one position and then return to the same location it took off from but it's a good idea to keep the drone within sight because sometimes GPS can lose signal when it's time to land bring the throttle down gently and hold remember drones can crash so if it happens and it probably will release the throttle immediately
