How to fly the Cube, one move at a time
Press Next move and watch the quad fly it. Each move is one symbol on the sticker.
Half a flip, a full roll upside down, half a flip: out the way you came in.
Before you start
Open air
Fly forward in open air, away from obstacles.
Sticks steady: just fly your line.
Shown for a Mode 2 radio: throttle on the left stick.
How to read the sticker
In acro mode the sticks turn the quad, and it keeps its angle when you let go. So every move is the same: push the stick, wait until the quad has turned far enough, centre the stick.
- F
- Pitch forward: the nose goes down. F' = pitch back, nose up.
- R
- Roll right. R' = roll left. Either way works: it's the same trick, mirrored.
- Y
- Yaw right: a flat spin. Y' = yaw left.
- ½ ¾
- Half or three quarters of a turn. No number = one full turn.
- throttle up throttle off
- Throttle up / throttle off.
Learn each trick in a simulator first, then try it high up, away from people.
Details
The Cube drawn along its flight line: half a flip forward, a full roll while upside down and facing back, then half a flip forward again, out the way you came in. The quads seen from above are mid-roll. The red block is the camera, so you can see where each one faces.
An open-air trick, no obstacle needed. The guide above flies it one move at a time. Learn it in a simulator first.
