• Manual Take-off: Alternatively, push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to gradually increase propeller speed and lift off.
• One-Key Landing: Press the one-key landing button (usually indicated by a downward arrow icon) on the remote. The drone will automatically descend and land gently.
• Manual Landing: Pull the left joystick (throttle) downwards to gradually decrease propeller speed and land the drone.

  • Push Left/Right: Controls rotation (Turn Left/Turn Right).
• Right Joystick (Directional Control):
  • Push Up/Down: Controls forward/backward movement.
  • Push Left/Right: Controls left/right sideward movement.

4.3 Speed Modes

The drone features 3 adjustable speed modes (Low, Medium, High) to accommodate different skill levels. Press the speed mode button (usually indicated by a gear icon or "Speed") on the remote control to cycle through the speeds. Start with Low speed for learning and progress to higher speeds as you gain proficiency.
