C6: Drone Technology

Drone control is based on two joysticks on the remote controller — each one handles a specific set of movements.

Left Stick (Throttle + Yaw)

  • Throttle (Up/Down): Controls altitude — pushes the drone up or pulls it down.

  • Yaw (Left/Right): Rotates the drone in place to change its facing direction.

Right Stick (Pitch + Roll)

  • Pitch (Forward/Backward): Moves the drone ahead or behind.

  • Roll (Left/Right): Moves it sideways to left or right.

When both sticks are balanced and centered, the drone hovers in place — this is the most important skill to master!
