Sure, there’s a few ways to fly the quad copters I have right now. First
is just with the joysticks on the controller. The left hand is pitch and
yaw and the right hand is forward / backward and strafe right or left.
Similar to a helicopter but instead of having foot pedals to control the
tail rotor you use your left hand.
The iPhone and android apps are accessible to a point and you get a full
SDK for C+ or Java to write your own applications. GPS can be programmed
by touching a point on a map or sending the coordinates numerically to the
quadcopter and then it works out a route based on it’s current position.
The new versions just released also have the ability to avoid obstacles on
their own using stereo computer vision or LIDAR depending on the model.
I’m in the process of putting together some youtube videos that detail this
more so I’ll post some links.

So I’ve gone pretty far down the drone path.
I have a DJI phantom 3 professional with several upgrades, I have a custom
built racing drone and I’m working on an autonomous flying drone as well
as a sub $200 kit people can build themselves.
Flying is more accessible than you’d think depending on the platform. My
DJI Phantom 3 has two different satellite navigation systems, 2 compasses,
2 gyros and an altimeter.
I started a group for blind drone users or we can continue here if nobody
objects. Either way.

See here we go, I just got an Apple watch and it’s going to be time to
swap it out with a new one.:)
Just like I just bought a drone and the new model was released today.
