I have been longing for the drone flying course for such a long time. This is really a precious experience for me to try to fly a drone for the first time. Thank you JPC so much for organizing this course so that teenagers like us are allowed to have a taste of how it feels like to control an unmanned aircraft.
I have learnt plenty practical skills in flying the drone through this two-hour course. More importantly, I have learnt the working mechanism of this machine. For instance, for the four adjacent turbines, in order to let the drone fly, two turbines must turn clockwise and the other two turbines must turn anticlockwise, otherwise the drone will not be able to fly successfully.
I have also learnt the law of flying drones in Hong Kong. All the knowledge is not able to be obtained in our daily normal school lessons! It was so much fun trying to fly the drone by ourselves after listening carefully to all the instructions and precautions that safeguard us. I found it challenging at first, as it is not as easy as I thought, controlling the rate of change of direction while holding the remote controller. However, it is still a lot of fun, after more time I successfully landed the drone on a specific point! It was very satisfying.
