1
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,960
In this video, we're going to take a look
 at enhancing your flying skills

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,320
and enabling you to perform
 more complex maneuvers.

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,400
We'll look at how to fly in a square,
 a circle, an oval in a direction of travel

4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,520
and a figure of eight
 in the direction of travel. Let's get started. 

5
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,560
First, let's see how to fly in a square.

6
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,280
To give you an idea
 of what you want to aim for,

7
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,400
you want to fly a square
 in the sky with the drone.

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,800
Always been orientated
 the same way away from you.

9
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Once you've completed
 all of your preflight checks,

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,640
hover your drone in the air
 at a safe altitude

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,160
and then ensure it's facing away from you.

12
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Gently use the right stick
 on your controller

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,840
to move the drone about five meters
 to the left and come to a stop.

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Then gently move the drone forward
 about 10 meters and stop.

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,760
Now slowly move to
 the right 10 meters and stop.

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,960
Bring the drone backwards
 10 meters and stop.

17
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,920
And finally move the drone left
 five meters to the starting point

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,400
and come to a stop. 

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,960
Once you've mastered this maneuver,
 try the same path.

20
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,840
But with the drone facing
 the direction of travel at all times,.

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,480
Complete all of your checks
 and send your drone to the starting point.

22
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,800
Rotate the drone to the left, 

23
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,920
90 degrees, fly in a straight line
 forwards five meters and stop.

24
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Now we're going to use
 the left stick again

25
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
to rotate the drone,
 90 degrees to the right.

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Fly 10 meters forwards and stop

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,520
and repeat this process
 to complete the square.

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,360
So orientate the drone right,
 90 degrees once again.

29
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Fly 10 meters forwards and stop.

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,080
Rotate again. Fly
 10 meters forwards and stop.

31
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,800
Then finally rotate 90 degrees
 to the right one last time.

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Fly five meters and stop
 at the original stop point.

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,560
Practice these maneuvers
 until you're comfortable.

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,240
Feel free to check your flight path 

35
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,520
on the app to see how
 precise your square was.

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,600
After every flight, we recommend
 orientating the drone away from you

37
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,360
so you're not disorientated
 and know which way your drone is facing.

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,680
Now, let's try flying a circle.

39
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,360
As always, complete your preflight checks
 and hover a safe altitude

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,880
around 10 meters away from you. 

41
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,000
This maneuver includes the use of both
 thumb sticks on the controller.

42
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,720
With this move, we're going to perform it
 in two different ways.

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840
First of all, with the drone
 facing away from us at all times,

44
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,760
and then with the drones orientation 

45
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,880
changing constantly
 so that it follows the path of the flight

46
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,400
using the right hand stick. 

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Slowly draw an imaginary circle
 to complete this maneuver.

48
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,640
be light and careful on the sticks
 to maintain a smooth flight throughout.

49
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,840
Try to remain controlled at all times

50
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,120
to be sure that the drone starts
 and finishes at the same position.

51
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Once we've mastered a complete circle
 with the drone facing away from us,

52
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,240
we'll incorporate orientation to ensure
 the drone is following the flight path.

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,720
The trick here is to maintain
 a constant pressure on the left stick

54
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680
to control the drones orientation 

55
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,720
whilst using the right, stick
 to fly the drone in the circle.

56
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Next, we're going to fly in an oval.

57
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,480
With the drone at the start position
 and preflight checks completed.

58
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,440
We're going to build this up
 and break the movement down

59
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,080
so we can stop in each corner. 

60
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Then as we get more comfortable,
 we'll make it one continuous movement.

61
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,320
First with the drone facing away from you,
 rotate 90 degrees

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,440
left and fly straightforward
 around 15 meters and come to a stop.

63
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,600
Now, rotate the drone
 90 degrees to the right.

64
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,040
Fly forward 10 meters and stop,

65
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,440
then rotate the drone  90 degrees to the right again,
 fly forwards around 30 meters and stop.

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,040
Rotate right, 90 degrees again,
 fly forwards 15 meters and stop.

67
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,840
Finally, one more right turn 

68
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:40,880
90 degrees and fly
 back to the start position 15 meters away.

69
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Once you've finished this maneuver, 

70
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,400
rotate your drone right 90 degrees
 so it's facing away from you.

71
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,720
Now, repeat these steps
 until you're comfortable creating oval

72
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
circuits in the sky. 

73
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Once you're comfortable with this, try
 the steps without stopping in each corner

74
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,960
to complete the circuit in one go.

75
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,440
This includes turning
 and orientating the drone

76
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,080
at the same time as moving forwards. 

77
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,160
Once you've practiced this movement
 and coordination,

78
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,480
will seem more and more comfortable
 with each flight.

79
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,280
If at any point you feel uncomfortable
 with this maneuver,

80
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,960
feel free to let go of the sticks. 

81
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,000
Allow the drone to hover
 and come to a stop.

82
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Regain your bearings.
 Orientate the drone away from you.

83
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Bring it back to the start point
 and try it again.

84
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Finally for this video, we're going
 to attempt flying in a figure of eight.

85
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,760
It's a bit more challenging,
 but we'll be bringing together

86
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,320
all the movements
 we have practiced so far.

87
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,720
With this maneuver, as always,
 will conduct our preflight checks

88
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,160
and allow the drones of a safe
 altitude in front of us.

89
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,440
But this time, fly
 a little further away from you

90
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,200
to give the drone more space to move.

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,040
When you've flown
 approximately 30 meters away from you,

92
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,000
orientate the drone to the right
 or the left 45 degrees.

93
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,880
The direction you orientate is up to you.

94
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,280
With the drone pointing 45 degrees

95
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,280
in any direction of your choice,
 in this demo, we'll go to the right;

96
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:11,360
fly of the drone forwards around 10 meters
 without stopping.

97
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,720
Start to orientate the drone
 as you're flying forwards,

98
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,680
just as we did in the circle movement
 to follow the path intended.

99
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Whilst slowly moving forward,
 once that turn is complete,

100
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,600
put yourself on the other 45 degree angle

101
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,520
to run past the original start point
 and fly forward 20 or 30 meters.

102
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,040
When we reach the next point,
 maintain that forward momentum

103
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,680
and orientate the drone to the left
 to turn around the corner

104
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,760
and slowly end up back at the start point.

105
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Now, in this case, 

106
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,480
once you've completed the circuit
 turn the drone left forty five degrees,

107
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000
so it's facing directly away from you. 

108
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,520
This move can take plenty of practice.
 So give yourself time and remain patient.

109
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Don't worry if you have to reset
 and keep on trying.

110
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,280
Feel free to stop at the corners 

111
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,160
if you're more comfortable
 and just keep on practicing.

112
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,520
We're not looking for perfection. 

113
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,880
We're trying to get better
 each time we fly.

114
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Again, if at any point during the flight
 you lose orientation or get confused

115
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,480
don't be afraid to let go
 of the sticks, hover safely,

116
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200
return to your start points and try again. 

117
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,200
All of these flight manouevres 

118
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,440
are here to help you understand
 how your drone reacts in the air

119
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760
and hopefully allowing you
 to become a more confident pilot.

120
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120
It's important to understand orientation

121
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000
and how it can impact your flight path
 and how much force

122
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,120
you have to apply to the sticks
 to maintain control at all times.
