3. Confirm the takeoff location is clear of bystanders or obstacles.

To arm the aircraft and take off:
1. Move the left control stick to the bottom right corner and hold
it there until the propellers begin spinning.
2. Verify the propellers are spinning in the proper direction as
per the diagram in section 3.
3. To take off, advance the left stick away from the operator until
the aircraft becomes airborne.

7.3 Controlling US-1 in Flight

In Position Hold mode, the aircraft will not move or drift when the
sticks are centered.
The left stick vertical axis, or throttle, controls altitude. To
climb, move the left stick away from the operator. To descend,
move the left stick towards the operator.
The left stick horizontal axis controls yaw. To rotate the aircraft
to the left, move the left stick to the left. To rotate the aircraft
to the right, move the left stick to the right.
The right stick vertical axis controls pitch. To move the aircraft
forward, move the right stick forward. To move the aircraft
backwards, move the right stick backwards.
The right stick horizontal axis controls roll. To move the air-
craft to the left, move the right stick to the left. To move the
aircraft to the right, move the right stick to the right.
Remember that flight controls are relative to the vehicle head-
ing, not the pilot. Pitching the aircraft forward will move the
aircraft in the direction it is pointing, not in the direction the
pilot is facing.
