The flight control of the EVOLVE 2 is accomplished by manipulating the control sticks on the Ground Station. Proper orientation must always be considered when flying the aircraft. A basic rule of thumb when remote piloting an aircraft is to realize that when the aircraft’s nose, or front end, is facing the pilot the control inputs for roll and yaw are backwards. This disorientation is the leading cause of all aircraft accidents that are due to pilot error. Therefore, it is very important to practice piloting in the proper orientation. This includes:

• Positioning the aircraft’s nose, or front end, away from the pilot.

• Stand at least 6 ft directly behind the aircraft and keep the nose pointed away from you.

• Fly in an open area free of obstacles such as trees, power lines, and buildings.

• Make sure you are flying in POSITION mode. (The aircraft will automatically hold position when the control sticks are released )

• Ensure that all spectators are standing behind you.
