Aviation and drone enthusiast. I teach the basics of how things fly, for anyone curious, starting from zero.

Every drone, from a toy to a racing quad, flies on the same idea: motors push air down, and small changes in each motor’s speed tilt, turn or lift the aircraft. Learn the sticks, respect the weather and the airspace, and the rest is practice.

Before you fly

Check battery, props, screws and failsafe. Read the weather and confirm your airspace zone. Pick an open area, away from people and roads.

The four controls

Throttle goes up and down. Yaw turns the nose. Pitch moves forward and back. Roll moves left and right. Practise each one alone first.

In the air

Keep the drone in line of sight. Stay low and slow at first. Land with a safe battery margin, never at zero.

Know the weather

Wind, gusts, visibility and cloud base decide if you fly. A METAR gives you all of it in one line.

Know the airspace

In India, Digital Sky maps green, yellow and red zones. Green is open, yellow needs permission, red is no flying.

Keep learning

Start in the simulator, move to a small drone, then add FPV. Fly with an experienced pilot while you build confidence.
