Hi,
Waiting for my FC40 to arrive. This will be my first Phantom, coming from an AR Drone 2. I originally got the AR drone to see if I would like flying a quad, and 2 weeks later it was apparent I loved it, and was apparent the limitations of the Drone, so bought the FC40.
Now I don't have it yet and this question might sound incredibly stupid, but I am uncertain and don't want to damage it on first flight.
LAUNCHING:
Living in North America it seems the controller will be in MODE2, with throttle on the left. To launch the Phantom, I need to push in the sticks in lower adjacent corners at the same time to start the props.
Now the question.
To lift it up, do I use the throttle (left stick), or the right stick?? Logically I would assume it would be the right stick which controls up and down movement, but reading on this it seems you must use the throttle to lift it, but throttle would control forward and back...
Looking at videos just didn't help because half of the people were using MODE 1.
Landing it is the same question. Once it is on the ground, which stick do I push all the way down to turn it off?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
