Reverse Flight

Flying your drone in reverse is a useful skill that requires quick reflexes and a strong sense of orientation.

How to Fly in Reverse:

  1. Start flying forward and smoothly pull back on the pitch stick to reverse the drone.
  2. Adjust the yaw and roll to keep the drone level and on track as you fly backward.

Example:

Reverse flight is useful for capturing footage while retreating from a scene. It also helps build your orientation skills, as the controls are reversed when flying backward.
