FPV:
First Person View - the closest thing to flying, without actually flying! It’s a technique that
uses an onboard FPV camera and wireless connection, to allow a pilot on the ground to see a live
video stream as if they were sitting in the cockpit while flying, through FPV goggles or a monitor.
•
GYRO: Gyroscope -
Provides the angular velocity around 3 axes of space in degrees. Sensor
which assists with keeping the multirotor level.
•
LIPO:
Lithium-ion polymer battery - most commonly used battery type in multirotors due to its
high energy storage to density ratio. They have the potential to be dangerous and pose a serious
fire risk if they are overcharged or damage. Ensure that you understand how to maintain them
before using them.
•
LOS:
Line of Sight - piloting your multirotor by keeping it within view from your position on the
ground. Important with respect to safety and operating multirotors for commercial use. Flying
beyond line of sight without aids is irresponsible; an out of control drone has the potential to do
a lot of damage.
•
PID:
Proportional Integral Derivative - a control loop, that attempts to minimise the difference
between a measured process value and its desired value by adjusting the control input of a
process. A PID based system is used tune flight characteristics.
•
QUAD:
Quadcopter - A type of multirotor that has 4 motors
•
RC:
Radio Control - the foundation of our hobby. It’s also used to refer to the hobby as a whole,
‘radio controlled’ cars, planes, boats etc.
•
RUD:
Rudder - also known as yaw. This is the control that enables you to change the orientation
of your quadcopter by rotating it to the left or right.
•
Rx:
Radio Receiver - A device that receives commands from our radio transmitter (Tx), and sends
them directly to the servos or to the flight controller.
•
THR:
Throttle used to control motor speed. This is the control that enables you to control your
multirotor’s altitude.
•
Tx:
Transmitter - a device that sends our commands to the receiver (Rx), controlled by the pilot.

Multirotors are dangerous if not properly constructed, maintained and operated. Pilots are
advised to obtain training and insurance prior to operating our products. Organisation such as
the BMFA offer their members insurance options and advise on safety related matters. Pilots
should also make themselves aware of the legal position when operating multirotors and the
CAA’s website is a good place to start in this regard. We want you to enjoy your multirotor safely
and with due regard for others. To this end if you have any queries arising please contact us
directly.
