Drones are becoming popular day by day on the score of their advantageous and unique uses. In the previous articles, we discussed some other details regarding drones. In this article, we will how drones are operated while flying. How they are controlled and akin things? 

Controls:

These are some of the controls of the drones:

Roll: It is performed by pushing the right stick to the left or right.

Pitch: performed by pushing the right stick backward or forward. It is basically tilting the drone.

Yaw: performed by pushing the left stick right or left. It rotates the helicopter right or left. Points the front of the copter in different directions and helps with changing directions while flying.

Throttle: To expand, push the left stick advances. To diminish, pull the left stick in reverse. This changes the elevation, or height, of the quadcopter.

Maneuvering: A consistent circular turn in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

Hovering: Staying in a single position in the air, is done with the help of a throttle.

Transmitter:

A transmitter is a hand-held regulator that lets you pilot your quadcopter and control its flight pattern. When you make a change with the sticks, it imparts a sign to your copter guiding it next.

Transmitters come in various shapes and sizes, but the necessary controls in a transmitter are shown in fig.

  1. Right stick: This stick controls pitch and roll, which means you can move your drown left/right or forward/backward.
  2. Left-stick: This stick control yaws and throttle. This helps you to move our copter clockwise or anti-clockwise, and it also adjusts the height at which your drone is flying.
  3. Trim buttons: Each control supports its trim buttons as shown in the figure:

When you first push your throttle to get your quadcopter off the ground, you may notice that the UAV automatically tilts and flies in one direction (or multiple).

This happens when the controls are unbalanced. To balance them out, specific controls need to be trimmed.

Check list before flying: 

  1. Chances of rain should be less than 10%.
  2. The wind speed in the place should be less than 20mph.
  3. Visibility of the flying area should be at least 5 miles.
  4. It is imperative to establish takeoff, emergency, and landing zones.
  5. Ensure whether they are any building or obstruction around.
  6. Check for electro-magnetic interference, if any.
