Preparing for Flight
Basic Maneuvers
the left stick down to the lowest position. You will hear another beep. The throttle is
now enabled. Now move the left stick slowly upwards to increase the throttle and
watch the Mini Stealth Drone take off.
You can find more information on flying the Mini Stealth Drone using the controller in
the next section “Basic Maneuvers”.
The Mini Stealth Drone moves up and down
by varying the speed of its propellers. You can
control how fast these spin by using the left
stick on the controller. Pushing the stick up
will increase the throttle. Small adjustments
made slowly and carefully are the best way to
get the Mini Stealth Drone to fly well. Be careful
when easing off the throttle – if the Mini Stealth
Drone stalls, it will fall to the ground and even
if you jam the throttle back on, it might not be
able to recover in time.
By moving the right stick horizontally, you can
strafe or ‘slide’ left and right without rotating
the Mini Stealth Drone.
By using the left and right sticks at different
angles and positions, you can design and
execute some graceful, arcing turns. On
the other hand, quick thrusts of the stick in
different directions can create some unique
tricks or stunts. Practice makes perfect!
The right stick on the controller affects the Mini
Stealth Drone’s direction of travel.
Pushing the right stick up will move the Mini
Stealth Drone forwards. The opposite is also
true – moving the right stick down will move
the Mini Stealth Drone in reverse.
Once the Mini Stealth Drone is in the air,
practise keeping it in one spot by playing
around with the throttle levels. Because
it’s a mini, even the lightest of breeze can
effect on the stability of the drone.
While positioning the Mini Stealth Drone
into a steady hover, slowly decrease
the throttle until it lands. Try practising
landings on the bonus landing pad game
and have some fun with your friends!
While moving forward, move the left stick to
the left or right to turn the Mini Stealth Drone in
the direction that you want to fly to.
