How to fly a Drone for Beginners (part 1)

Step by step Instruction

Now that we’ve seen what the basic commands for flying a drone, let’s take a look at how to actually use this knowledge in order to fly it. In this step-by-step guide I will assume that you’ve made yourself familiar with the particular model you have at your disposal. Furthermore, I will not get into the location you picked for your first flying test, as I think we’ve made it clear what to consider when choosing that.

1. Read the instructions first

The first thing you should do is carefully read the instructions provided with your drone. The manufacturer is responsible for providing you with all the aspects you need to know regarding the features. Don’t take this part too lightly, as it may come in handy if any problems occur.

2. Charge your quadcopter battery

Before you can take off with your quadcopter, you’ll have to charge the battery first. It is highly recommended to use ONLY the charger and the battery that comes with the device. If you have problems charging the battery, you should consider contacting the manufacturer as it is not advised to use other parts for your drone than the ones provided.

3. Quadcopter Positioning

You have to ensure that the space you’re using is clear from any danger, as we have stated before. Furthermore, be sure that the quadcopter is positioned according to the manual. You have to know where the front and the back of the model are. Position yourself behind the drone before taking off.

4. Push the quadcopter throttle down

Remember the throttle command on the left stick? Yeah, that one. Before you switch on your transmitter, push the throttle way down. Only then turn the transmitter on. After that, connect the quadcopters battery. This sequence is very important. When you are finished with your flying session, first, disconnect your drone battery, and then turn off the transmitter. Basically, the same thing in reverse order. Remember it.

5. Take off and land

The first flight maneuvering you’re going to do is taking off and landing. When you did all the previous steps, you may slowly push the throttle (left stick) upwards. The quadcopter will start to take off of the ground. If the quadcopter starts leaning forward or backward, compensate this by using the pitch command (right stick up and down). The same goes for the roll control (right stick left and right). If you see that the drone is leaning to either side, compensate and hold it in balance for now.

After taking off, keep the drone in balance and try to land it as smooth as possible. This is done by pushing the throttle command (left stick) down. Attempt to land it on the same spot from where you’ve taken off.

6. Take off and hold quadcopter position

The next thing you’re going to do is taking off with your quadcopter and holding it in position a few feet above the landing spot. It is imperative to remember that this step requires concentration in holding the position.
Keep the drone steady and hold it as still as possible over the spot you took off of. This may seem tedious at first, but learning this technique will get you a long way in getting a hang on how to start and finish your flying session. Furthermore, it will make you a safe “pilot” and will ensure a long lifespan for your device.
Without learning how to execute these basic maneuvers of taking off, landing and balancing, you’ll have a hard time later when we get to the more complicated stuff. So practice this for a while first.
