In this tutorials, you can understand how to fly a quadcopter and some tips about it.
THE CONTROLS
Below is an example of all the controls for flying a quadcopter and how each control works.
Roll tilts the quadcopter left and right by speeding up the rotors on one side and slowing them down on the other.
Pitch tilts the quadcopter forward and backward the same way that roll does.
Yaw rotates the quadcopter by speeding up all of the rotors spinning in on direction and slowing down all of the rotors spinning in the opposite direction.
Throttle controls the up and down axis by varying the overall speed of the rotors.
These controls also have other names, for example: roll = aileron, pitch = elevator and yaw = rudder.
STABILIZATION
There are usually 3 main stabilization modes for a quadcopter.
Rate, also know as manual, hard or Acro.
Attitude (not to be confused with Altitude), also know as self-level or Auto-level.
GPS-hold, also known as Loiter.
In the video tutorials I’ll be teaching you to fly in manual mode, it’s the hardest to learn but the most fun.
