30-Day Flight Guide

Arm the drone in the simulator, switch to Acro, and just "feel" in the air how sensitively the sticks respond. No goal yet, just getting used to it.

Practise only the throttle stick — climb slowly, descend slowly, never abruptly. The most important rule: never cut the throttle suddenly, or you get free fall.

Go to about 1 m altitude (too low = unstable due to ground effect) and try to stay in place. It won't work at first — that's normal.

Same exercise as day 3, but focused on duration. Small, calm corrections instead of large, hectic stick movements.

From the hover, fly gently forward, straight, then back to the hover. Small inputs, not full stick deflection.

Combine roll and yaw lightly for soft turns rather than sharp rotations. Picture a car on an empty road, not a helicopter spin.

Keep the altitude constant while flying forward. Then practise a deliberately slow, gentle landing — never cut the throttle quickly.

In the simulator, deliberately turn the drone until it points at the pilot ("nose-in") and fly on from there. The controls then feel mirrored.

Hover on the spot and slowly rotate around your own axis. Goal: don't completely lose orientation while doing so.

Fly around an object in an even circle in the simulator. Combines pitch, roll and yaw at the same time.

Fly a figure eight between two objects — one of the best exercises for clean, flowing flight.

A large, open field. Lift the drone to about 1 m, hover briefly, land gently. Stand behind the drone, looking in the same direction — that makes the controls intuitive.

Before flying, deliberately assess wind, obstacles and escape routes. If the wind is noticeable: do a simulator day instead of an outdoor day.

Understand how the drone behaves on signal loss and how to calmly perform an emergency landing from low altitude.

Like day 4 in the simulator, now for real. Constant altitude and position, small calm corrections.

Fly straight away from the pilot, turn at a marked point, fly back. Practises the change of orientation on the return.

The real version of day 10. Prefer larger, slower circles to tight, fast ones.

The real version of day 11. Mark two points on the ground and fly a calm figure eight between them.

Deliberately accelerate, then brake in a controlled way — without losing altitude. The basis for every later freestyle move.

While flying, switch deliberately between two altitudes without losing the line.

A spontaneous change of direction in forward flight. Preparation for free, reactive flying rather than pure practice lines.

String several learned elements together without pause. Goal: an uninterrupted, rounded line.

Rolls are easier than flips and the recommended start. Gain some altitude, raise the throttle slightly, move the roll stick briskly to the side, then re-centre.

Practise rolls to the left AND right equally confidently. Several batteries just for this one move is normal.

Start with forward speed, raise the throttle slightly, pull the pitch stick back; the nose comes back up through the rotation.

The most important rule: tricks only at high, clear altitude — never at tree height or near objects until the timing is solid.

Approach with speed, pull pitch back while raising the throttle, briefly reduce throttle at the highest point.

Common mistakes: cutting throttle too early (the quad stalls), cutting too late (descending too fast).

A roll right after a turn, or a flip at the end of a straight line. No pressure to be perfect.

Look back on 30 days. Set your own next goals (e.g. Split-S, matty flip, or simply more flow in your lines).
