The right stick allows you to control the X8’s position in the air. Move the right stick to tell the
X8 to move in that direction: forward (toward the blue arms), back (toward the black arms),
left (toward the left arms), or right (towards the right arms). How far you move the stick from
the center before releasing it tells the X8 how fast to move.

Flight Tip
The X8 moves according to its orientation. The blue arms face forward, and the black
arms face backward. Before using the right stick, use yaw to keep the X8 facing in
outward orientation so that the black arms face towards you and the blue arms and face
away from you.
