Simple Drone

5,312 Static  8.9 years ago

Well! It's been a while, hasn't it? This is one of the two planes I built for the New Year. So what exactly is this thing? How does it work? It's simple: It's a quadcopter (drone) for those who are new to them in Simple Planes. It's built to be easy to fly, and manuverable. The propeler colors are to show direction. The Red is forward, Blue is backwards, Green is Right, and Orange is left. How to fly it? For takeoff, throttle to 100% untill it leaves the ground, then throttle down to about 75% for stable flight. To move forward and back, simply use the pitch controll. Pitching down (Right stick up or equivilent imput) moves you forwards, and Pitching up (right stick down or equivilent imput) moves you backwards. Rolling right (right stick right or equivilent imput) moves you right, and rolling left (right stick left or equivilent imput) moves you left. Yaw controll (left stick right / left or equivilent imput) spins you on the spot. It doesn't have automatic stabilisation, so be carefull! You may have to compensate for your movements to maintain stable flight. Don't worry about fuel, it's infinite.
