Module Breakdowns

Cones 1

Dolly forward and back over the cones, focusing straight and level flight with the nose oriented forward, and maintaining the same local heading.

Cones 2

Track left and right over teh cones while maintaining the nose orientation forward, and fly smoothly side to side. Make sure to watch the horizon to ensure level flight.

Cones 3

Trace the square clockwise while tracking and dolly shots. Make sure the drone is oriented in the same direction throughout the module. Practice making controlled yet square corners.

Cones 4

Trace the square with the nose forward throughout the pattern, focus on turning the drone around the corners as smoothly as possible.

Reveal 1

Enter this point while facing the cubes on the other end of the field to practice smooth and level progression throughout the ascending reveal shot.

Reveal 2

Enter this point while facing the cubes, concentrating on smooth controller inputs as you fly backwards in this ascending reveal shot.

Cones 5

Trace the circle while drones nose is oriented forward, while moving in a circular pattern and focusing on level banking throughout the turn.
