Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it exactly that we are trying to accomplish with this book? The world that we live in is going through a very interesting and dramatic change. With the new interest in both commercial and hobby drones and quadcopters (4 propellers) our skies are going to become a very busy space. While that alarms some people, for others it is an incredible time. For the would-be filmmakers, this is an incredible time to be alive. Never before have we had so many tools at our disposal to create and innovate. With high quality cameras being upgraded with each and every intimation of cell phones, we each have the power to produce beautiful and stimulating photos and video. We can create content that can be enjoyed by ourselves, or farmed out to Instagram and YouTube. Our videos, movies and films can be used to document the world around us, report the news, look at things from a new perspective, and really gain a deep understanding of our environment. Sure, there will be some speed bumps along the way . . . but every revolution has issues in the beginning. Indeed, the laws governing what we can and can't do will change as quickly as they're drafted to deal with problems that we don't know we will even face. But progress is like this. Fits and starts. We are going to guide you in your new endeavor, teach you about the kinds of drones you might enjoy flying; open you up to techniques that make you not only a safe pilot, but a great filmmaker! We want you to buy right, fly right, and shoot (film) straight. We will even discuss the notion of monetizing your videos and content. Yes, there is something for all of us here. Of course, there is no substitute for getting out there, buying a drone, and having some flight time under your belt . . . but we're certainly going to give you the best chance for success. So, without further ado, let's take a look at what a drone actually is and how we get here!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes has been written for the beginning pilot, who wants to understand how these marvelous machines work and how to fly them safely. Buying a drone or a model airplane is really just the beginning of the journey: You must register your aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, complete a testing and certification process and then figure out how to safely operate your machine in (or to avoid) the busiest and most complex airspace in the entire world. It can be all be a little overwhelming for a beginner, but luckily you've got an expert co-pilot to guide you every step of the way: Patrick Sherman is an award-winning instructor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University who has been flying and teaching people about drones for more than 10 years. In this book, he takes complex subjects and explains them in simple language with pictures and diagrams to make these concepts easy to understand. In Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes, you will learn: - Different rules apply depending on whether you are flying for fun or flying to make money, and different training and certification is required. - Fundamental principles of aerodynamics, so you can understand how different kinds of flying machines - like airplanes and helicopters - work. - How to maneuver a drone or a model airplane using the ubiquitous two-stick controller used by both recreational and commercial pilots. - What are the different parts inside a drone or a model airplane, and how they work together to make it fly. - The importance of flying safely and how you can avoid running into other aircraft or hurting people on the ground. - Simple techniques for taking great aerial photographs and how to evaluate a new flying site before you launch your aircraft. This book is the perfect primer-whether you are teaching yourself how to fly, giving it as a gift along with a drone or model airplane, looking to get into commercial drone operations, or studying robotics and STEM subjects in school related to aviation"--
