How the DJI RC-N1 sticks work, and how they map to your keyboard or gamepad.

Hold Shift for gentle stick input. You can also drag the sticks on the 3D remote with the mouse.
Starting the motors
DJI drones use the Combination Stick Command: pull both sticks down and inward until the motors spin, then push the throttle up gently. After landing, hold the throttle down until the motors stop.
