Introduction to
Drones
aka Quadcopters & Multirotors
hello!
I am Carl Fugate [few-gate]
I LOVE all things aviation and enjoy flying Quadcopters...er Drones
Agenda
✘What are Drones?
✘Introduction to Flight
✘Hardware & Maintenance
✘Flight Basics
✘Rules, Regulations & Safety
1.
What are drones?!?
“DRONE [drohn]:
1) A person who lives on the labor of others
2) The male honeybee and other bees, stingless
and making no honey.
3) An unmanned aircraft or ship that can
navigate autonomously…

Introduction to flight
Helicopters/Quadcopters/...
*Copters
Propellers & Lift
What do wings have to do with propellers?
Lift
Weight
Pitch, roll & Yaw
Pitch
Rotation around the side-to-
side axis that is controlled by
the elevator
Roll
Rotation around the front-to-
back axis that is controlled by
the ailerons
Yaw
Rotation around the vertical
axis that is controlled by the
rudder
The Axis or Center of Gravity is the average location of the weight of an object
“
“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”
✘ Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Rotation
✘ Rotation
✘ Torque
Equally thrusting Counter-Rotating
blades cancel out each other
Imbalance of thrust between the
Counter-Rotating blades is used to
provide pitch, roll & yaw

3.
Hardware & Maintenance
Parts of a quadcopter
Flight Controller Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) Propellers/Guards
Transmitter/Receiver Gimbal/Camera*
*Optional
Battery
Motor
Transmitters
✘ Pairing
✘ Mode 2 Transmitters are
the most common layout
for drones
Some have the ability
to change between
modes
You will need the
return to zero
throttle spring if
you change modes
✘ Headless Mode
Batteries
✘Lithium-Polymer (LiPo)
✘Types
Size (Number of Cells): 1S/2S/3S/4S…
Capacity (in Milliamp Hours): 500mah/2000mah...
Voltage: 1S = 3.7v Nominal (4.2v Max)
Discharge Rate: 20C/30C/50C…
✘Chargers
Charging - Just like KC BBQ, Low and Slow is the key
Unbalanced (1S)
Balanced (2S+)
4.
Flight basics
“Rule 1 of Drone Flight Club:
You will crash, you will break things - and you
should most definitely brag about it
Preflight
✘Check to make sure the area you are flying in does not have
restrictions
✘Make sure you will not endanger other people or property
✘Check batteries for Drone & Transmitter are fully charged
✘Ensure Propellers are fully tightened
First Flight
Takeoff
Run-up
Hovering
Landing
Throttle Chop
Postflight
✘Remove power from the Drone and then the transmitter
✘If you crashed, check the aircraft for damage with special care given
to the battery
✘Do not transport batteries that are bulging or punctured
5.
Rules, Regulations & Safety
The federal aviation administration (FAA)
The FAA regulates all US airspace
✘UAV/UAS - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle/Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Drones/Quadcopters/Multirotors/RC Aircraft
✘Hobbyist vs Commercial use
✘Respect the airspace
✘Terms you should know
NOTAM: NOTICE TO AIRMEN
TFR: TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTION
Place your screenshot here
✘ Fly below 400 feet above ground level (AGL) and
remain clear of surrounding obstacles
✘ Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all
times
✘ Remain well clear of and do not interfere with
manned aircraft operations
✘ Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you
contact the airport and control tower before flying
✘ Don't fly near people or stadiums (TFR)
✘ Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs
✘ Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned
aircraft – you could be fined for endangering people
or other aircraft
FAA Rules regarding Non-Commercial UAV
http://knowbeforeyoufly.org/
https://www.mapbox.com/drone/no-fly/
✘You must be at least 13
years old to get a pilot
registration
✘You must register and label
your drone if it is over 1/2lb
(250grams)
https://registermyuas.faa.gov/
Place your screenshot here
Drone Registration
Battery Safety
✘Storage
✘Other Safety issues
Charging unattended
Bulging
Dealing with Fires
✘Transport
LiPo Battery Bag
Cover Connectors to prevent shorting
Lipo batteries are NOT allowed in checked luggage on commercial

Editor's Notes

  1. Propellers have to keep turning to generate lift unlike aircraft who can glide from altitude.
  2. Our hobby does pose a threat to other aircraft operating in the same airspace. We need to be respectful of that and obey the rules set out for safe operation of our aircraft.
