In this Bonus Episode, Season 2, Episode 37 of Sky Commander Academy, we pull back the curtain on how multirotor drones truly stay stable, maneuver, and recover mid-flight. You may fly them every day — but do you really understand how your control inputs create movement? For Advanced RPAS pilots, mastering multirotor control isn’t just about thumbs on the sticks — it’s about knowing the underlying principles.

This episode breaks down the mechanics behind multi-rotor flight control and configuration, so you can fly more precisely, safely, and confidently — especially in complex operations.

You’ll learn:

• How multi-rotor drones control pitch, roll, yaw, and altitude by varying motor speed

• The most common multi-rotor configurations: quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters — and why configuration matters

• How motor redundancy impacts stability, safety, and failure recovery

• The physics behind thrust, torque, and counter-rotation that keep your drone level

• Real-world examples of control loss, instability, and recovery — and how pilots regain control under pressure

Whether you’re training for the Advanced RPAS Certificate or preparing for high-risk missions, this bonus episode gives you the technical depth to fly your multirotor like a true professional.
