Up Up & Away

Drones

Let’s get off the ground and practice flight with Drones. Learn the basics of air control and be able to go through an obstacle course.

Keep it Inside

Staying inside will allow you to fly and allow kids to fly without having certification from FAA.

Goals & Objectives:

Get a feel for flying a drone. Understand the different types of aerial systems and flights.

Activity Instructions:

  1. Check out this video for how to fly a drone.
  2. Make sure you have a charged battery for the Spy Drone.
  3. Check to make sure all blades are on and not damaged.
  4. Plug it into the drone and slide battery into the slot.
  5. Set drone down on a flat surface with the tail pointing toward you.
  6. Check that your flight area is clear of any hazards (other people)
  7. Turn on your remote and start flight.
  8. Challenge is to make it through the hoops and back.

I have found the Syma X20 is a durable and easy to fly drone for beginners.
