Instructions: Start using Pitch to that the body is facing (head up) around 45 degrees. Then, pulk the throttle around 80-100% power. Keep your pitch the same until you get up to 500-700 ft. Then you can control it. Yaw is turning (albeit slow, it's way more safe and efficient to do than Roll) and keep Pitch so that the body is around 10 degrees (head up). You obviously also use Pitch for height. Landing: cut off Throttle. Then turn it back on (only around 10%) to fix the wings so they are relatively straight. Pitch the body back up to 45 degrees (only around 100 ft) so you don't plummet. Rinse and repeat. Enjoy!
