you fly.
Tips for New Fliers: Practice these exercises to help you master flight controls.
Skill 1: Hover
Your first step is to maintain a consistent altitude while keeping IRIS oriented so the
black arms face towards you and the blue arms face away from you. Practice
taking off, rising to a comfortable hovering altitude, and keeping IRIS in place
without allowing for any changes in orientation or position. If IRIS drifts forward,
backward, left, or right, or rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, use the
corresponding stick controls to correct.
Skill 2: Box
When you feel comfortable with your ability to maintain a consistent hovering
altitude, try flying a box pattern. To practice this, take off, reach your hovering
altitude, then fly forward, right, backward, and left by making small adjustments
to the right stick. Make sure to fly the box in front of you and not around you.
Use the left stick to rotate IRIS so the black arms face towards you and blue arms
face away from you for the duration of the exercise.
Skill 3: Figure Eight
When you can confidently navigate a box while maintaining altitude and
orientation, try flying a figure-eight pattern. Once again, make sure to fly the figure
eight in front of you and not around you. Use the right stick to create a smooth
flight path while using the left stick to correct orientation and maintain altitude.
