13 short lessons that take you from your first takeoff to flying in wind without GPS. Do them in order.
Basics

Every stick, switch and button on the RC-N1, with the motors locked.
Motors, takeoff and hover
Start the motors with the stick command, lift off, hover and land.
Altitude and yaw
Climb to 10 m, spin a full circle each way and land on the pad.
Forward, back and sideways
Fly through five rings using only pitch and roll.
Orientation
Square pattern, tail-in
Visit four corners of a 25 m square without turning the nose.
Nose-forward circuit

Advanced
Figure eight
Seven rings on a figure-eight track with smooth, blended turns.
